Public bug reported:
Release: Ubuntu 13.10
PS3 Eye driver or underlying USB auto mount library
PS3 Eye about 5 days ago was working properly as it should. Mounted and
available when Ubuntu booted.
PS3 Eye isn't being mounted as /dev/video and /dev/audio.
The PS3 Eye has 2 leds, 1 shows camera in use, while the other shows
power (from the usb port). During a normal bootup into linux, before the
operating system gui is fully loaded, the red "in use" light will light
then go off, then the system comes up for use. One logged in, I can use
the camera as a built in mic using Skype, Cheese, StopMotion, etc.,.
Earlier this week we'd completed some simple animation using StopMotion,
and everything seems to work as expected with the camera. The only hitch
being a parameter that was omitted in the StopMotion installation script
that once manually entered, worked as normal. That was a StopMotion
problem, not a PS3 Eye problem.
After 2 quick minor updates (didn't notice which, but I did notice it
was small) the PS3 Eye is no longer usable as a camera or microphone.
Here's what i've noticed so far:
When I do a "lsub" here's what i get...

... the "Nam Tai" entry above, I believe is the PS3 Eye. This is where
the PS3 Eye is not recognized. Now yesterday when it was working, there
was a 2nd "Nam Tai" entry which looked the same except at the end of the
text description is had something like "Sony Playstation". So when 2
entries were present when using "lsub" the camera worked, with just 1
entry like the above showing, it doesn't.
I'm guessing either the library assigned to the camera isn't seeing it
as a valid camera, or something isn't fully mounting the camera
properly. Is there a command I can use to manally "mount" that
particular usb device and see if that's the problem (not being properly
mounted)?
