webcam not working after update

**gnomepm** · January 16th, 2011

Hi everyone.
I've been using Ubuntu 10.10 for a while and everything was working fine.but recently i wanted to use "Cheese" application and when I run it, it tells me that it cant find my webcam!I used Cheese before and there was no problem.Also ubuntu cannot detect my fingerprint reader.I thought maybe it has something to do with the latest update(proposed).
(I thought maybe these can help)
when I run

Code:

gstreamer-properties

and test my video it says :

Code:

Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux 2 (v4l2)': Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'. [v4l2_calls.c(488): gst_v4l2_open (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1:
system error: No such file or directory]

and when I run

Code:

lsmod | grep video

I get

Code:

uvcvideo               55847  0 
videodev               43098  1 uvcvideo
v4l1_compat            13359  2 uvcvideo,videodev
video                  18712  0 
output                  1883  1 video

BTW I use a thinkpad sl500c.

Just found out that the "Protector Suit for Linux" (Application and dirver for UPEK finger print reader) is not working either!

**gnomepm** · January 16th, 2011

still no one?
I found something else.When I run "lsusb", I get this:

Code:

Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

What is wrong?!!Someone please!help me!!

**e_torano** · January 16th, 2011

Is it an external or internal webcam? Can you try running cheese as root: sudo cheese

**gnomepm** · January 16th, 2011

It is internal.I can not run it as root.it says :

Code:

cheese: ../../src/xcb_io.c:385: _XAllocID: Assertion `ret != inval_id' failed.
Aborted

but i dont think it is related to this problem.I think ubuntu can not recognize my device as I mentioned above.

**gnomepm** · January 16th, 2011

someone help me please!!
I'm new to these forums, if this is the wrong thread to ask my question please tell me.

**gnomepm** · January 16th, 2011

still no one...
something is messing with my USB devices.

**gnomepm** · January 17th, 2011

I searched but I didn't find the solution.
It can't detect my webcam as I run "lshw" and there is no webcam in the list:
