Webcam + (Facebook || Skype) = Fail

The following is what happens when I try to use my webcam in either skype or facebook.

lsusb output:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:08ad Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX

The same thing occurs on my laptop with the same web camera. I'm not entirely sure how to diagnose this, as the webcam still works in the program cheese.

Maybe you need to use gspca instead of uvcview as driver, search the forums or the web for similar problems, I believe you'll find lots of similar problems and the resolution.

Use this script

#!/bin/bash

SKYPE_BIN_PATH="/usr/bin"
LIBV4L="/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"

LD_PRELOAD=${LIBV4L} skype

exit 0
