Description Carlo Segato 2005-12-02 21:34:20 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

if you go to webcam's preferences in kopete and then you plug off the webcam kopete crashes, i think it's the same if this happens during a conversation
Comment 1 Cláudio da Silveira Pinheiro 2005-12-02 22:48:15 UTC
I'm investigating why it happens.
Comment 2 Cláudio da Silveira Pinheiro 2007-11-05 21:25:34 UTC
Fix pending gspca1's Michel Xhaard's goodwill, as described in the kopete-devel post (link below)

 This is still happening in Kopete from kdenetwork 20080705+svn828272 . Used the gspca1 from Ubuntu 8.04.1.
Comment 4 Marius Cirsta 2008-07-06 04:53:49 UTC
 And it's not really a crash , it's a freeze .
Comment 5 Cláudio da Silveira Pinheiro 2008-07-06 04:58:58 UTC
Please see comment #2. Until it's fixed in the driver, it sadly can't be fixed in Kopere.

Comment 8 Percy Camilo Triveño Aucahuasi 2008-11-02 06:16:53 UTC
Hi Nicolas, today I tested the last version of kopete (from source) and another app that manage Webcam too called cheesse (or something like that :P) ... here my conclutions:

- It can't be 2 apps using the same Webcam. in my case cheesse and kopete-settings.
- The bug it still there, but it doesn't a kopete issue but seems to be a issue with gspca (Webcam driver/module)

I'm trying of load the mxhaard.free.fr page but it seems broken, also I downloaded the gspa sources and a fast view indicates that the code has not been touched since 2005 :(. I hope that someone maintain the source, unfortunately I don't have the skills to such task neither the time :( to start to learn it.

Bests,
Percy

The gspca1 drivers from mxhaard.free.fr still have that flaw that makes impossible to fix the issue. Mr. Xhaard seems to be unwilling and/or unable to fix his own code.
Comment 10 Alex Merry 2009-12-28 16:04:22 UTC
I suggest resolving this as UPSTREAM, since it's apparently not something Kopete can do anything about.
Comment 11 Frank Schaefer 2010-02-20 16:03:12 UTC
Device removal has been fixed with KDE SC 4.4 (Kopete 1.0).
I also can't reproduce it with kernel-drivers gspca-sn9c20x and gspca-sonixj (kernel 2.6.32.8).
