webcam, ubuntu 9.10, wind, msi, u90

in my case - webcam word fine under 9.04, device is visible in lsusb as
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia Sonix USB 2.0 Camera but it doesn't work at all.

here: Ubuntu 9.10, Kernel 2.6.31-14-generic, MSI Wind 100

device is SOMETIMES visible in lsusb as
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 5986:0141 Acer, Inc (Acer = vendor of BisonCam NB Pro), but it doesn't work!

and SOMETIMES randomly it is not visible in lsusb. it's even worse, because then
IT AFFECTS OTHER USB-PORTS (see attached an extracts of dmesg)

and I can't use any of them. a reboot helps putting the ports up again.
if you need further information please contact me,
regards, edde

U100 here as well, webcam does not work in any program.
e.g. Cheese Webcam Booth etc - "No camera found"

same here, BisonCam detected as Acer but it doesn't work.
it worked ootb in 9.04.

nothing in skype, nothing in cheese.

73, jaap.

Same situation with me. Philips webcam worked fine under 9.04. After upgrade to 9.10 "could not detect video device ...".
lsusb appears to detect the device:

Not working
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia Sonix USB 2.0 Camera

Same Problem here with Medion Akoya E1210

with lsusb it shows me an Acer Inc. WebCam. when the Cam is activated, i lost all my USB-Ports but not the usb Mouse from Logitech.

With Jaunty Jackalope all works fine.

Ubuntu 9.10, Kernel 2.6.31-14-generic, MSI Wind 100

situation is similar edde306, but apparently the problem with vanilla kernel, because archlinux when you upgrade to 2.6.31 the same thing happened

we expect 2.6.32? or an error will be fixed in another version?

Hello,

is there anything new?

best regards

Hi,
yes, there is.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) alpha 1 now and the camera is working again :-)
10.04 allready works fine on my netbook, although it is in dev. state.

so I will unsubscribe this bug. I wish good luke solving it,

cheers,
edde

Hi,

seems to work for me now. At least, if I switch on the camera on boot time.
Great!

best regards
Michael

Alexander,
   Please test against the latest daily live build http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/.
Judging from the comments of others here, this appears to be solved in Lucid.

Thanks!
