Starting a capture with qv4l2 results in a black window and states 'No frame' in the margin below it. I indeed get a continuing stream of errors when running 'dmesg' while capturing via qv4l2 or vlc (see the attachment). I get no errors though when capturing via 'xawtv', which is the only program to produce some, though garbled, image (as shown in the screenshot).
@Joeri: 'apport-collect 1134565' doesn't work as 'v4l-utils' is no program. On which program do you want me to run apport-bug? Thanks for helping out! ** Attachment added: "last 100 lines of a stream of errors" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/v4l-utils/+bug/1134565/+attachment/3649297/+files/dmesg.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1134565 Title: Green/garbled/black webcam [0x0ac8 0xc002] output for Sony VGN-FE21M laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/v4l-utils/+bug/1134565/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
