Hello ALL !! Just got Archx64 on my Hp dv 7 3065 laptop, and already installed skype 32 from yaourt, but got problem with a webcam
Wiki saids that hp laptops has Ricoh

r5u870 (Ricoh)
* HP Pavilion Webcam
* HP Webcam 1000

but I've got this in lsusb
bus 001 Device 003: ID 0408:03f0 Quanta computer and it's not Ricoh
and my user is already in video group, I was trying to find more information about that webcam, and I fount gentoo wiki, it saids

modprobe uvcvideo
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2

so now I can see myself in mplayer, that driver is already installedb ?!

but how I can link that v4l2 driver to skype???

PS: also I was trying to startup skype with this command...
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype and this
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

plz see the screenshot, I can't copy from the xterm o_O

Go to the bottom left hand corner and click on the skype icon. Go to settings. Go to video devices. Have a look around there

Can you run skype in the terminal and see if there is an error when you try to apply it?

ok, but I mean that error is in driver connection and skype

and on previous screenshoot U can see how I was trying to start skype with a v4l2

Hmm why is it not preloading. Be sure it exists and try running it as root

oGRE2080 · 2010-02-14 06:37:16

was trying to run
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype from root user profile
still same stuff
LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored (

Does it work in cheese? This sounds like a skype bug or a driver problem.
