Public bug reported:
This script is used to get still images with fswebcam:
#!/bin/bash
for index in {0..100}
do
echo shot $index
echo Time: `date +"%Y-%m-%d %T"`
fswebcam -d v4l2:/dev/video0 -r 4096x2160 --jpeg -1 --no-banner -S 9
--verbose temp/shot.jpg
sleep 1
done
exit
It works for some 20 to 60 repetitions, then fails every time and says
"Unable to find a compatible palette format."
dmesg -T shows this at the time of the failure:
[Wed Dec 1 12:48:53 2021] usb 2-8: Set SEL for device-initiated U1 failed.
[Wed Dec 1 12:48:53 2021] usb 2-8: Set SEL for device-initiated U2 failed.
