Description Luis Silva 2011-01-03 20:51:23 UTC 
Version:           0.3 (using KDE 4.5.90) 
OS:                Linux

Kopete still depends on hal to recognise webcams. On system that only depend on udev, webcams are, therefore impossible to use.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just start any hal-less system and run kopete. The webcam is not available.


Expected Results:  
The webcam should be automatically recognised and configured for use with kopete.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.37-11-generic
Compiler: cc

Kopete relies on Solid to detect available video devices.
Comment 2 Lamarque V. Souza 2011-02-09 05:20:35 UTC 
Probably solid's udev backend was not finished when you tested this. In my KDE SC 4.6.0 without hal I can see myself in the webcam configuration menu. Unfortunately very few Kopete's plugins implement video chat, only yahoo plugin as far as I know, but I do not use that plugin.
Comment 3 Luis Silva 2011-02-09 12:35:48 UTC 
You are probably right. I just tested again and it works out of the box on kde SC 4.6.0. Sorry for the spam.
