Subject: gspca+xawtv get stuck for several hours rather than until the next reboot

Date: Tue, 15 May 2007 07:58:36 +0300

One more data point:
I left the system as is during the night, and the next day - when waking
up - I saw that xawtv -hwscan finished, giving the following output:

omer@c2:~$ xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.18-4-686)
looking for available devices
port 65-65
    type : Xvideo, image scaler
    name : NV Video Overlay

port 66-97

    type : v4l
    name : Logitech QuickCam EC
    flags:  capture

When running again xawtv -hwscan, it again got stuck after identifying
port 66-97.

Subject: More information - output of lsmod

Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 01:03:00 +0300

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

In the attachment, please find the whole output of lsmod while Webcam is
plugged in.
Notice especially that both v4l1 and v4l2 modules are loaded (I
reproduced below 4 lines from the attachment).
Should I disable loading v4l2_common?

The canonical application to test gspca is spcaview. I don't know xawtv

Subject: The bug is not gspca-specific - looks like a v4l or nv bug

Date: Sat, 26 May 2007 23:27:01 +0300

I tested the same system with another Webcam, which uses the ov511
driver, and v4l-conf (activated from xawtv) got stuck the same way.
The problem seems to be in the v4l layer.

I use the Xorg 7.1.1 X-Window server, Device "nVidia Corporation NV34
[GeForce FX 5200]" using the free 'nv' module.
Originally my server loaded the 'v4l' module, but v4l-conf gets stuck
also when the server is configured NOT to load this module.

Subject: gspca has been removed from Debian, closing #423920

Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 23:17:37 +0100

Version: 01.00.20-1+rm

The gspca package has been removed from Debian so we are closing
the bugs that were still opened against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/519463 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.

Kind regards,
