I just got a new webcam. It's a Creative Live! Socialize HD. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. In Skype, when I go to Options>video devices, it shows up under "Select webcam" as "VF0610 Live! Cam Socialize HD (/dev/video0)" However, when I click Test, nothing happens. When I double-click on Test, I get a full screen view of a blank window. Running skype from the terminal, I get the following output:
Under the advise of an article which can be found here:Code:X Error, request 133, minor 18, error code 8 BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

I tried running the following command in the terminal:
and then tried the webcam test again, with the same result and output. I tried again, but with this command:Code:bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype'
with the same results and output.Code:bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype'
However, my webcam works fine with Cheese, so I know I've got the drivers.
Any ideas?
