View 3 RepliesI'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I can't seem to get skype to work. See, the person I'm chatting with can receive video and audio, I can receive audio, but I cannot see them, even when they engage their webcam.
My cheese can take pictures from my webcam, but I can't see the screen of the webcam before I take the picture, it's only black, and when I click on the take the picture, it'll take it, and display it correctly, but the screen is black. Now, I just dled camorama, but it's saying "Could not connect to video device C/dev/video0). please check connection." I don't know what this means.
My lsusb says:

The Ricoh Webcam is a built in cam, but it doesn't work either. I have an external cam that used to work, but the cam works, it's just the display that seems effed up.
Hi, i have a microsoft lifecam vx1000 (i know, im a traitor!) ive plugged it into my eeepc901 and loaded cheese. it works fine. the laptop runs ubuntu NBR 9.10 Ive plugged it into my desktop, installed cheese and im getting a green display with some static on the top. Not a green tint, just a green block if you know what i mean. My desktop is running ubuntu 9.10. Ive fiddles around with all the settings in gstreamer-proerties and i cant figure it out.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop with a built-in webcam. I installed Cheese months ago and it worked fine then -- pics, videos, the works.
Now, after some updates recommended by Canonical, Cheese is telling me that it can't find the webcam. I tried dumping it an reinstalling, but to no avail.
Anyone out there know what's going on? Did the updates knock out a hardware driver?
I have a sony vaio laptop model VGN-S2370P with an integrated webcam. I wondered what I needed to do so that I could use the webcam. I already have Cheese installed but it cannot detect the webcam. Is there any driver I need to install or something like that? On windows everything works perfect.

I'm having a problem using cheese to record video from my webcam. The image is extremely slow to update. Especially when there is lots of movement it sometimes freezes for about a second.
When I use the webcam in Skype it works fine. Does anybody have a clue what might cause this and better yet, how to fix it.
back when I was Windows Vista (the pre-installed OS on my laptop), whenever I would activate my webcam through skype, I separate program would also initiate. This program would give me the ability to alter the image, like black and white, fish-eye, etc.Is there anyway to get skype to activate cheese webcam so I can use its effects?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading from 9.10 to 10.40.. My Cheese webcam doesn't work anymore. It says: No Camera Found!
And also one important thing is missing.. (I don't know how to say that).. "ALWAYS ON TOP"
How do i get back that?
Every time I start up my webcam in cheese, a folder is created called 'Webcam' in my home folder, and if this folder is deleted, it will be recreated when another session is started, i would ideally like to just have this folder hidden but if i do that then it will be recreated, so is there anyway of having the folder created as a hidden .Webcam? there is no option for this in the cheese menu.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor some reason Cheese works for the 1st time when I launch the application fresh but after I use it and I close the application, the next time I go to use it, it doesn't show any video from my web cam. I can see the web cam turn on and it activates the flash LED however I don't see any video. I reboot my Ubuntu PC and it works fine the next time but I have to always reboot my PC and it sucks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedNot sure if this is right place or not but i'm looking for some success stories of Cheese and external webcams or built in netbook cameras. Would love to see some actual examples.
Here is the type of behavior I seem to always* get:[URL].. *I have tried 3 different computers, dell 8100 (1.5 ghz p4, 256 ram), ibm thinkcentre (1.4ghz p4, 512 ram), ibm thinkpad t42 (1.7ghz p3, 1gb ram) and several different webcams (2 old logitech cameras, ps3eye, ms lifecam show) running either fedora or ubuntu.
see also this post for some other movies of a system i had similar problems with:[URL].. here is a list of cams that work with skype but i find skype and cheese to be different as it's the RECORD feature that seems to cause the problems. displaying the feed is never too bad, but recording seems to break the feed. [URL].. So i'm looking to know if anybody out there has had success with cheese or another webcam RECORDING program on linux. i'm working on several videobooth [URL]... and would love to permanently ditch my mac for linux but having trouble finding acceptable performance in this area.
I was impressed with the hardware detection in Fedora -- it picked up my wireless & webcam right out of the box. The odd thing is, that Fedora picked up the webcam right away, and it worked perfectly in Cheese (I was able to take both photos & video), but when I try to use it in Skype all I get is green "snow". The webcam is a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX.

I'm using a basically vanilla Lubuntu 11.04 My Logitech E 3500 webcam works fine with Cheese. I have just installed Skype, but my voice isn't picked up on the test call, and no video either (the webcam light remains off). I've tried logging off and into Skype.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE seems to have an issue picking up and working with my newer webcam. This webcam does work with linux, it works with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and Linux Mint 9 Isadora but openSUSE 11.3 doesnt seem to like it. Information about webcam drivers seems to be missing now, I tried the drivers repo but no luck. Cheese freezes and WXcam comes up with a green screen with no video. This is a gateway product by my understanding but it seems to be linux compatible, especially with the Linux 2.6.34 kernel that both Ubuntu and openSUSE use right now. But for some reason its not quite clicking with openSUSE 11.3

I am on Ubuntu Lucid (updated till date). I am using Kernel Linux 2.6.32-24-generic Recently I am not being able to run Cheese (webcam tool). When run it is crashing. Upon starting it from prompt I noticed the following error : libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 2 more bits The program 'cheese' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

In programs like aMsn, Emesene, or Cheese it's recognized as "USB 2.0 Camera"
For example(I'm translating menus from italian) in aMSN->preferences->Other->Audio Video:
- select device box: "v4l2: USB 2.0 Camera"
- select channel box:" ALi m5602"
- and in the video box where image should appear: "unable capture from device"
In the other programs it shows a completely blank screen, or sometimes a blank screen with some strange uncomprensible white-grey stripes.
