hey,

I'm having some trouble too..

I got this on the build step (from make.log)::

How do I proceed??

Code:

ok.. looks like you only updated your kernel...

run the following command "rpm -qa | grep kernel" here is mine. The packages you need for YOUR kernel are in bold

Quote:

[root@macbeth ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686
kernel-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686

kernel-devel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686
kernel-devel-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686
kernel-devel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686
kernel-firmware-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.noarch
kerneloops-0.12-2.fc10.i386
kernel-devel-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686
kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686
yum-kernel-module-1.1.19-1.fc10.noarch
kernel-headers-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i386

Also, look.. you missed the " - " between "kernel" and "devel"

so post the rpm -qa... command above and lets see what you got...

TIP: I don't know if you are familiar with "yumex" . My personal opinion is so much easier to use than yum. It works the same, but has a graphical interface, it pulls all of your updates and you pick the ones that you want to install by putting a checkmark next to the package. Simple. But I digress..

hello all.

i've tried the steps mentioned in post#16:

1. download dkms-r5u870-0.11.0-8.noarch.rpm.bz2
2. download r5u870-0.11.0-9.patch
3. bunzip dkms-r5u870-0.11.0-8.noarch.rpm.bz2
4. rpm -i dkms-r5u870-0.11.0-8.noarch.rpm
5. cd /usr/src
6. patch -p0 < r5u870-0.11.0-9.patch
7. mv r5u870-0.11.0-8 r5u870-0.11.0-9
8. dkms -m r5u870 -v 0.11.0-9 add
9. dkms -m r5u870 -v 0.11.0-9 build
10. dkms -m r5u870 -v 0.11.0-9 install

Everything works well till step 9. at step 9 i get an error: here is the output:

Hi all
I follow the instructions of fmuelle below but the webcam doesn't work with skype , in fact, the recepter sees me but Ican't see myself
My configuration is : FC10 2.6.27.37-170.2.104.fc10.i686 and the chipset is 05ca:1812
Could you help me please? It worked very good with my FC9 and Iit doesn't any more with my just install FC10, it's so frustrating :-(
Here are the errors in /var/log/message :

I have searched around a bit and found a later version of the driver, 0.11.3 ( as opposed to 0.11.0-9 ).

This is the driver source and will not use the same instructions as those listed in previous posts. As I am still running on F10 *2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 - and not F11 or the PAE kernel - I have not done any testing or reconfiguration of my present system. But this may lead in the direction of a solution.

Hope this will help.

Hi shess01
I've just upgraded my OS to FC11 and video is good in the two senses ( PAE kernel) with skype and cheese
I'm sorry i don't know what was the root cause, but I have now others sound problems :-(
Thank you

Cool! Did you use the steps listed in this procedure? I was trying to help Baturs get his going and that build step kept failing. Being on F10 and knowing how kernel upgrades can break stuff that works I was worried that the default PAE kernel was the issue. So...

Did you do a "clean install" or perform the "upgrade" process to F11?

What F11 kernel are you using?

32 or 64 bit?

Did you follow the steps in post 16?

Try searching "alsamixer" and "pulseaudio" for your sound issues. You will both posts that *swear by, and *swear at PulseAudio. I am on the swear by team. Sylpheed2k is the pulseaudio guru... check this link here

socratien · #41 2009-11-03, 02:50 PM CST

Hello Shess01
I installed F11 from DVD iso image ( clean install is more certain, I 've already upgraded F10 to F11 by network for my NC10 netbook and it results in my wireless KO then my return to F10 :-( ))
Any way, for my sound problem, I read and followed the guide to Pulseaudio on F11 but it's always KO for my microphone; output sound is OK not input sound
I have no idea and didn't find any solution on this forum. I change to *swear thread, do I ?
uname -r = 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i686.PAE
32 bits
I followed the 16 steps but with F10 not with F11

It's now 0.11.4
look for current tarball at link http://download.tuxfamily.org/arakhn...-webcam-r5u870

I confirm that it builds on fc12 and works on all suppoted resolutions :) (my webcam is VGP-VCC6 on Sony VAIO VGN-CR31ZR)
However there is a little drawback it not fatally crashes the kernel, but it looks like it doesn´t affect the system and program (linphone) using webcam. it works despite messages in log that kernel crashes.

PS:
IMHO: This driver is better than a uvc driver that works correctly only at 640x480 and higher resolutions

I have a screenlet that tails the output of dmesg. Whenever I have the webcam running, usually in skype, I have scrolling messages similar to the following. It does not affect the webcam performance - that i can tell... I am still on F10 and using the rpm and procedure listed above.

Since we now have at least one success using the tarball on F12. The new version may be an excellent candidate for building an updated dkms rpm.

Also.. I do not know if i have mentioned it before but the "Video4Linux Control Panel" package works great for getting a good capture in low light conditions.

hi shess01,

i'm installing f12 now and will try the steps above to install the webcam driver. will post back shortly.

Edit: unfortunately i couldn't install the webcam driver. here below is the error:

hey,

I seem to be missing some package. What kernel are you on? 32bit or 64? plus what devel packages did you need?

Ankur

Edit: okay... weird..

i did this..

at line 1231 in /usbcam/usbcam_fops.c

Code:

/*#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
        .compat_ioctl   = v4l_compat_ioctl32,
#endif*/

I commented out the line.. was causing my make to fail.. build successfully and skype sees it too.. will report back on it once I get to use it.
