Are you sure your webcam is not used by any other software at the same time ? It works for me with an UVC webcam. The webcam seems busy, try running lsof /dev/video0 while kopete is running and the probleme appears to check if other applications are using it.
here is my output: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME kopete 17075 sts 16u CHR 81,0 0t0 3596 /dev/video0 kopete 17075 sts 17u CHR 81,0 0t0 3596 /dev/video0
Ok, it seems Kopete is faulty here, it opens the webcam twice. Do you have more debug details about the webcam opening process ? Do you have debug activated in Kopete ? I don't know how it works and if it is possible with openSuse...
I'm not sure how can I enable the debug mode. I have installed debuginfo packages. here is my konsole output if I open the kopete config dialog: VIDIOC_ENUMSTD: Das Argument ist ungültig VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT: Das Argument ist ungültig VIDIOC_ENUMSTD: Das Argument ist ungültig VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT: Das Argument ist ungültig VIDIOC_S_INPUT: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt VIDIOC_S_INPUT: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt VIDIOC_REQBUFS error 16, Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt VIDIOC_STREAMON error 16, Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::onlineStatusChanged(Kopete::Contact *, const Kopete::OnlineStatus &, const Kopete::OnlineStatus &) to Kopete::Identity::updateOnlineStatus() VIDIOC_DQBUF error 16, Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt VIDIOC_DQBUF error 16, Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt
It's not only kopete. While kopete3 and ekiga work with the webcam, kopete4 and webkam do not, i.e. just show a green picture.
You can count me in i'm having a eeepc 70X and in Ekiga and Skyp the cam is working but in Kopete I have a green screen and see two open files from kopete with lsof.
I can confirm this bug, on Dell Vostro 1400 laptop .Kopete in kde3(ubuntu) are fine, but using kde 4.1.2 packages from fedora , I cant use the webcam in yahoo in Kopete. lsof shows this kopete 2805 ani 19u CHR 81,0 2842 /dev/video0 kopete 2805 ani 20u CHR 81,0 2842 /dev/video0 This is after I just start kopete and access the preferences.Then if I close preferences and open it again, I see a third line with lsof command, and so on for each successive attempt. Also, after this , any other app trying to access the webcam fails (eg Skype), till I close Kopete.
I dual boot with gentoo and opensuse. It is not becuase it is showing up twice. On gentoo it also shows up twice. But, the webcam works with kopete on gentoo it does not work with opensuse. both gentoo and opensuse using kde 4.1.2 jsubl2@lappie ~ $ lsof /dev/video COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME kopete 5648 jsubl2 mem CHR 81,0 4643 /dev/v4l/video0 kopete 5648 jsubl2 15u CHR 81,0 4643 /dev/v4l/video0 Note that I also see these errors uvcvideo: Failed to query (1) UVC control 9 (unit 3) : -32 (exp. 2). I see these error on both gentoo and opensuse. But on gentoo the webcam works.

But on gentoo the webcam works. Don't worry, it is common errors due to bugs into the webcam (most likely an old logitech device). there are workarounds for those problems, that's why your webcam still works. It's interesting to see that the problem is in openSuse but not in Gentoo (I'm running Gentoo only. So I am unable to reproduce that bug). I'm checking with openSuse guys right now :-)
The problem still exists in KDE 4.1.3, Opensuse 11, 64-bit. Here's my lsof /dev/video: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME kopete 5043 hansito 16u CHR 81,0 0t0 3885 /dev/video0 kopete 5043 hansito 17u CHR 81,0 0t0 3885 /dev/video0 In Kopete you just see a green screen, also the activity-LED of my webcam doesn't turn on. My workaround: Still using Kopete KDE 3
There is nothing wrong in openSuse patches. please post or attach the dmesg output too (at least, the relevant lines about your webcam driver : uvcvideo, spca5xx, ...) Are you all using a 64 bit distribution ?

yes my system is 64bit.. but also with a 686 installation on my 64 bit system (opensuse11.1 beta4) it doesn't work :(
SVN commit 882759 by casanova: * Don't close file descriptor in kDebug(). CCBUG:172043 M +2 -1 videodevice.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=882759
This works for me in trunk. Although I think it would be better to only the device if the respective module in the settings is selected. Currently it is opened as soon as one opens the settings, which might be a reason why the whole settings dialogue becomes slow. If I open and close the device too quickly, i.e. open the settings, close them, open them again etc. kopete hangs, not sure where this is comming from, but it would be another bug anyway. In branch I get a huge black window, which is different than before, but still not working.
uvcvideo webcams does not work either in kopete from kde 4.1.3 branch. I've read it is solved in trunk. Would this changes to make this webcams work in kopete be applied in 4.1.4 release of KDE, or are they scheduled to another future release?
I see the same on opensuse 11.1 (upgraded from all the betas, but also on opensuse 11) kopete does it, webkam does it, luvcview does NOT. uname -a Linux linux-hm2m 2.6.27.7-9-pae #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux lsusb ..

BTW, my webcam works with openSUSE 11.1 and kde4-kopete-4.2.4-3.10 (from KDE:42 repo). I have tried only the test dialog though. The webcam is this: usb 4-2.4: New USB device found, idVendor=041e, idProduct=4057 usb 4-2.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 usb 4-2.4: Product: Live!

Works for me as well - since a few version. Suggest to close?
works for me
Works here too now, i'm currently on kde 4.3 rc2 ....
