Description Gabe Rivas 2008-05-18 04:03:32 UTC 
Version:           0.12.7 (using 3.5.9, compiled sources)

OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8.tex5

My web cam is not being recognized by Kopete and AMSN, however it is listed on my computer hardware configuration center. The camera I have is a Creative.

Did the webcam works with other software?
Comment 2 Gabe Rivas 2008-05-21 03:22:04 UTC 
well, it was working a couple of days ago with both Kopete and AMSN. Suddenly it stopped working.

Comment 4 Bram Schoenmakers 2008-06-29 21:37:06 UTC 
Could you provide more details please, like the camera type and eventual errors on the console? Thanks in advance.
Comment 5 Gabe Rivas 2008-06-30 18:22:34 UTC 
it is a creative web cam. I do not see any erros in the console.
Comment 6 Matt Rogers 2008-07-10 06:27:22 UTC 
did it quit working with AMSN too?
Comment 7 A. Spehr 2009-05-16 00:17:17 UTC 
Did you recently change or update anything when this happened? Does it work now in 4.2 or 4.3beta? 


To get the exact type of camera, type: 

dmesg |grep amera

do you see the line saying what kind of webcam you have? Or just look through dmesg.

dmesg |grep reative 
might work too


Does it still work in other non-kopete programs? Non-kde programs?

Thanks!

Since it worked fine in Kopete and aMSN, then stopped working in both at the same time, this is almost certainly either a hardware or configuration problem.  You should probably look for help with it in the Mandriva community.
