0c45:624f not found in cheese

[Goyo]

Hi all,

I was happy using my 0c45:624f camera on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. But
now I installed 8.10 Intrepid Ibex and Cheese says "No camera found"
even if it works with gstreamer-properties.

Is there any Intrepid user experiencing this?

[Chris Lasher]

Yep. I posted this problem shortly before you.

There are some similar bugs reported in Launchpad but they appear to
be very device specific or messed up with different symptoms so I
filed my own:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/293341

[Brian Johnson]

The issue as the other bug reports have found is that HAL does not
recognize the device as supporting v4l. The attached patch should fix
the issue.

Is this a fix for a microdia bug or a workaround for a hal bug?

It seems to be a bug in our driver. In previous kernels there was no
parent field
within the video_device struct it was just called dev. In the newer
kernels its name has been
changed to parent and unless thats set the HAL does not think that usb
device supports v4l

I think that can be pushed right away.

Glad its working then. I've also pushed this change to both master and
development branches so it should be fixed now

[vubuntu]

Hi Brian,

It sounds very professional to me. Please tell me how to patch. I
don't know how and what to patch. My webcam (0c45:624f) works in Hardy
and in Intrepid (with kernel 2.6.24.21) but cheese has showed "no
webcam found" since I upgraded to kernel 2.6.27.7.

Please have a look at this:

vietkhoa@vietkhoa-laptop:~/Desktop/Downloads$ patch -p1 < 0001-HAL-
should-now-detect-device-as-v4l2-capable.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 17
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Hi

The patch is already in the main source repository,
you need to get the latest source code

see here for step-by-step instructions
https://groups.google.com/group/microdia/web/testing-microdia-driver-draft

Also, you can easily apply any patches with git,
$git apply <path to patch>
or
$git am <path to patch>

Hi JoJo,

I appreciate you spending time explaining things to me. Well, in the
end I can get my webcam work in Intrepid 2.6.27. However, it's a quite
long way:

- everything is ready but "make" command produces problems.
Reinstalling linux-headers (2.6.27.7.16) solves the problem.
- webcam works in cheese (again, hurah) but image is upside down.
Restarting PC solves the problem.
- image quality is much lower than that in Windows. Not yet know how
to fix.

Thanks a lot.
