Webcam only shows Black Screen on Lucid
I am running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 and I am unable to get my Logitech Quickcam Communicator Deluxe to work. It is recognized by the kernel as a UVC camera:
[ 4088.530176] usb 1-5: USB disconnect, address 6
[ 4091.048078] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
[ 4091.296281] usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 4091.296445] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:0992)
[ 4091.327434] input: UVC Camera (046d:0992) as /devices/
When I run Skype, cheese, gstreamer or guvcview the light turns on but I see nothing but a black screen. I have tried doing " LD_PRELOAD=
interestingly I also have a Microsoft Lifecam that works fine. The logitech cam works fine on other windows systems.
