Sony Vaio ID 05ca:1839 Motion Eye Webcam

[steve101101]

I have a Sony Vaio CR120 with a Motion Eye Webcam that doesn't work with the newest kernel. It seems that I would be able to get it to work with kernels 2.6.24-17-generic or 2.6.24-16-generic, but 8.04 Ubuntu is running 2.6.24-18-generic.

Here is the output for the lsusb command.

I have some experience with linux and can usually get around okay, but no ones solution on the forums so far. Every ones fix fails when i try to compile it on the make command. It looks something like this ...

Thanks for the help.

Looks like a permisson error or it can't find the file:

/home/steven/Desktop/r5u870-VCC6/usbcam.h:36:29: error: media/video-buf.h: No such file or directory
/home/steven/Desktop/r5u870-VCC6/r5u870_md.c:3064: fatal error: opening dependency file /home/steven/Desktop/r5u870-VCC6/.r5u870_md.o.d: Permission denied

I installed the same driver on my Sony Vaio SZ61X/N without trouble.

I suggest you check the permissions of all the files (ls -l) and see if you have the necessary rights. Normally you shouldn't run the make command with sudo privileges but you can always try.

Well I ran it with sudo, but now i get a different error ...

i have tried everything i have found on the internet to no avail. please help me. I really want to use my webcam.

[OrionFyre]

Steve, I just had the same error while attempting to get my webcam working in ARCH.

You may try this out:

firstly
* verify you have svn installed
* remove any instance of r5u870 or the ry5u870 modules you may already have from previous attempts.


svn co http://svn.mediati.org/svn/r5u870/trunk ~/r5u870
cd ~/r5u870
sudo make
sudo make install
modprobe r5u870


then try xawtv to see if it works (sudo apt-get install xawtv)

test it using
xawtv /dev/video0

[steve101101]

okay i will try this when i get back home. thanks for the help. I will keep you posted if it works.

[steve101101]

D*mn that works. I have tried everything and nothing else works. Thanks so much.

This is the complete fix. You do not need to do anything else to get this web cam working.

[steve101101]

oh btw you have to run modprobe with sudo.

[rafttrip]

I am having a simaler problem with my webcan on my VAIO.

when I try the fix above this is what I get

Is there a missing step in that guide? I'm having trouble.

[IntuitiveNipple]

I keep the latest r5u870 driver in my Ubuntu PPA (Personal Package Archive) so it is easy to install. It is a DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) package too, which means when the kernel is updated it will automatically be rebuilt against the new kernel headers, rather than you having to do it manually.

To use it, add my PPA to apt's sources list:


sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/intuitivenipple/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main' >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/intuitivenipple.list"
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/intuitivenipple/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main' >>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/intuitivenipple.list"
sudo apt-get update

Install the driver:


sudo apt-get install r5u870-dkms

Remove my PPA from apt's sources list (to prevent Update Manager offering you all my latest backport and test packages!).


sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intuitivenipple.list
sudo apt-get update

Hey!

I've used this thread to get my motion eye up and runnig - it work! Thanks :)

It also runs with interpid ibex on ubuntu and kubuntu 4.2.

There is just one problem i would like to get solved. When I start my desktop and I want to launch skype the camera isn't visible. When I want to test it with:
xawtv /dev/video0 it sais that I dont have permission. So I've got a work around
sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0
then everything works fine. Is there a way to get it work with not changing the permission to /dev/video0 to 777 ?

[paco85]

i'm new and i've went off everybody else to get my cam to work.... but now I get a message like the following.....

Any ideas guys - also I cannot get anything out of the built-in mic.....I have checked the Volume control....

[Clockmender]

In the absence of any help here I went to:


http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html

and downloading the 0.11.2 driver - I got error messages in the Make process but it works with xawtv - still problems with the mic however. Picture detail is good, colour is good but my mug is not! oh well - the vagaries of Anno Domini

The cam works now but I'm still having problems with the mic.......

[Mr Goode]

Thanks alot for this!! I had given up on getting the motioneye working, but now it works! Im very happy!

[Mr Goode]

Hello again, my web cam was working perfectly but all of a sudden the picture turned upside down. And now its like that all the time.
I have reinstalled it but the picture is still upside down!
Anybody know how to fix this??
Being upside down I kind of look like spiderman, but its getting very tiresome, please help!

[McGerger]

Hello. I just installed the latest version (9.10) and I'm having with my webcam. I installed it in my Sony Vaio CR305E.

I followed the instructions on the previous posts but it didn't work for me.

Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

[ganesh]

Is there a version available for Karmic?

Thanks in advance.

[seanscullion]

The previous instructions worked for me back in a previous version of ubuntu, but since installing ubuntu 9.10, karmic koala, my camera has been lost completely and the above instructions no longer work to restore it:

someone back on page 1 suggested removing all old version of r5u870 - but i'm not sure how to check i've done that successfully. any pointers?

and last question, does the r5u870 work under both gnome and kde? or only one of these?

thanks for your help :)

Sean

[zotrules]

Yo, Sean, try this:
Get the r5u870 folder and put it somewhere; like "/Documents", for example.
Now shoot a terminal and type:

.........................
sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo

sudo modprobe -r r5u870

cd Documents/r5u870
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe r5u870

Now type again:

dmesg

this will list a couple of things, but at the end it should say something like "registering r5u870..." something like this.
Try now to open skype or emesene, or amsn. check at the properties>video devices. it should work. otherwise, something else should be wrong.
i've got it working some time ago, but i've got to be flat honest with you; linux sucks in these areas. Darn it, once you install something in windows, you know where to look, you know exactly what to do if something goes wrong... this ubuntu appears to be a challenge.
by the way, i am using 10.04 lucid, which is still in beta release, although, 100 times better than koala, yet, it fails badly to satisfy me as i wish it to /// i wanted to give up on window$ once and for all, but still... let me know if anything changed.

[aveminus]

@zotrules
:popcorn:
Thanx for the info. It worked out fine for me.

[siabost]

Hi zotrules,

Thanks for that.

Mine was a new install of 10.04 on a Sony VAIO VGN-Z18E so I didn't use the two lines
sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo

sudo modprobe -r r5u870

Should I have done? EDIT: Just had to, as when I rebooted the image was upside down! Right way up now though :-)

The reason I ask is that the webcam works fine with Cheese on 320x240 but on 640x480 I get two duplicate images in the top third of the window with the bottom two thirds a solid green colour.

Is there any way to clear this final hurdle?

Thanks again. :D

[zotrules]

Siabost, for some reasons, this webcam will work on Ubuntu only in one resolution. I think it has to do with the programs being used. I get the very same problem if i use it with skype. I have tried everything and cannot fix it. But, i suppose, since in Ubuntu everything is a file, even the configuration settings, it must be curable.
when you try it with cheese and switch to the unsupported resolution; try running dmesg in a terminal, and you will see exactly what is going wrong with it. For some reasons, the program is trying to force the camera work on an, apparently, unsupported resolution. I have no idea to this point as to why this is happening. that is exactly why i wrote above that i tend to dislike Ubuntu about this. I could fix it if that happened on windows, but Ubuntu??? very, very much unsupported - at least to my liking.
I am very certain though that this problem CAN be solved. I just don't have the neccessary expertise. sorry. :D

[RDT1]

Well i am a complete an utter beginner and having some 1 problem. After doing the terminal commands at the start i ran into issues so used the .deb package @ http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html which installed etc fine.

My issue is cheese only runs at th 320x240 resolution (which above you say cannot be fixed at present :S and also the image is upside down ! if anyone can help would be much appreciated.

Oh and just relised i have the 05ca:1837 Motion eye according to skype.

Upsidedown Fix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=838210 source is down currently though....

[siabost]

Hi RTD1,

I had the same upside down problem upon reboot.

Check the middle part of my post of 8th Aug above for the two commands (in terminal) that worked for me.

Cheers man. Just tried them now and still have the same problem.... oh well .. without them i would occasionally have it right way the "boot" seemed to chose its position. so illl just reboot until i get it right ahah

Hi, I am using ubuntu 10.4 on my Sony vaio(VGN-CR320E) laptop.
In that Motion eye inbuilt camera is there. Camera is not working in ubuntu 10.4, but it worked fine in XP and windows vista.

/var/lib/dkms/r5u870/0.11.5/build/usbcam/usbcam_util.c: In function ‘usbcam_urb_allocbuf’:
/var/lib/dkms/r5u870/0.11.5/build/usbcam/usbcam_util.c:164: error: implicit declaration of function ‘usb_buffer_alloc’

By the way I'm using this *.deb

I think it's the same thing but for some reason the dkms package is not working with the kernel 2.6.35-23-generic.
Any help???
thanks


BIG EDIT: somehow I discovered the link: http://www.gilesbathgate.com/tag/linux/
and now this stupid camera is working. Thanks to this man, all credits are to him.

Me, too... But no replies to the thread for support, which is even more frustrating.

Yet, you get a very lousy picture. the quality is very bad, to say the least. very dark picture. unclear, noisy. it works with one program and's dead with any other. I've arrived to the conclusion that It's not the driver. it could be the kernel, video card or the programs.

It's the latest kernels. Support for videodev.h has been removed - see comment on Kubuntu Forum http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3115676.0

SOLVED (for me anyway):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1544564&highlight=videodev.h&page=3
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, kernel 2.6.38-8-generic & works splendidly

Enter the following lines (one at a time) in the terminal - you will be asked your password after entering the first line (the password entry will not show in the terminal but it is being registered).


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:r5u87x-loader/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r5u87x
sudo /usr/share/r5u87x/r5u87x-download-firmware.sh

You'll get a GPG authentication warning but ignore that & also a y/n warning (enter y) after the last line shown above.

Good Luck :-)
