I am really a noob, but my webcam wouldn't work under ubuntu 8.10 as well. Until i tried:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype whatever application u need it to run - delete skype and set name there. worked for me. good luck. oh, and btw: don't close the terminal, because the allpication will shut down as well ;-) -- Ubuntu 8.10 doesn't support logitech and labtec webcam https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293176 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
