Comment 121 for bug 260918

I followed the procedure pointed to above:
"Fabian, the bug you have is not entirely based on the libv4l issue. First of all you have to get rid of zc0301 to be able to use gspca_zc3xx, and then apply LD_PRELOAD=v4....
it is not enough to blacklist, you have to compile a new version of gspca

see here for a complete solution:

The procedure to do it is at:

(http://moinejf.free.fr/gspca_README.txt)

When I ran the "make config" part of the procedure a lot of questions were asked. I took the defaults (just hit return) for most of the questions but I answered "m" (for make) at the question to make zc3xx in the gscpa section. then ran just "make" and then (as root) "make install" as directed. I re-booted at this point, don't know if this is actually necessary.

Prior to this I had followed (as above):
"Now also Cheese and Skype:
Upgrading libv4l-0 to from 0.5.0-3~intrepid1 to 0.5.3-1~dooz1 (found in https://launchpad.net/~lool/+archive), then unloading and loading uvcvideo (sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo && sudo modprobe uvcvideo), made cheese and skype work without needed any preloading or other hacks."

At the pointed-to website I copied the:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lool/ubuntu intrepid main

line and pasted it into Apt Line in synaptic "settings>repositories>Third Party Software>Add
Then did a reload and an update appeared immediately which I downloaded.

Please let me know if I can help more,

Steve
