NOTE - when I filed these 2 bugs for some reason Launchpad marked them as Firefox related.
THEY ARE NOT... cheese, uvcview etc all have problems although lately I have been able to uvcview to capture/display But regardless, from my searches something with webcam's broke around 11.10 release and continues. Skype for instance has a work-around being published about using a PRE- LOAD for the ia386 code. Again, in my ignorance .. I suspect combo of multi-arch and Unity. On latest x64 bit Debian it all works... so to a DEV that should also be a clue as to what changes from there to Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003743 Title: webcam fails w/ubuntu 12.04 works w/Debian 6 - both x64 OS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1003743/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
