Hi All,

Everything was working fine when I was using Stefan's PPA kernel patch
2.6.27-8.17 smb2. Now I have a new kernel update and the kernel I am using
is
$ uname -r
2.6.27-9-generic

At this point, my webcam has stopped working correctly. Here is an output of
cheese -v.

$ cheese -v &
[1] 16782
blackmaster@blackmaster-laptop:~/ece190$
(cheese:16782): GStreamer-WARNING **: pad source:src returned caps which are
not a real subset of its template caps

(cheese:16782): GStreamer-WARNING **: pad source:src returned caps which are
not a real subset of its template caps

(cheese:16782): GStreamer-WARNING **: pad video_source:src returned caps
which are not a real subset of its template caps
libv4l2: error converting / decoding frame data: v4l-convert: error
destination buffer too small

Thanks,
Balaji
