Skype 2.0.0.68 Suse 10.3 - Logitech Camera Not Visible

I'm running Suse 10.3, and installed the skype rpm: skype-2.0.0.68-suse.i586.rpm

Skype installed fine.

My webcam is a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000. Skype doesn't see the camera (Options/Video-Devices/ No Devices Found)

A friend of mine installed the same camera on the latest Ubuntu (hardy?) and it worked fine.

My kernel is 2.6.22.17-0.1-default

When I plug in the camera, I see this in the messages file:

Jun 3 14:49:20 zathras kernel: usb 4-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 33
Jun 3 14:49:20 zathras kernel: usb 4-7: new device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=0990
Jun 3 14:49:20 zathras kernel: usb 4-7: new device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=2

Jun 3 14:49:20 zathras kernel: usb 4-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Anyone else using this camera and/or know what the problem might be?

Thanks!

go to YaST - community repositories & activate webcam repository. once done, go to YaST - software management & type in the search field gspca. select the one that matches your kernel & install. this should sort you out

Hi guys,
I have similar problem. My camera is Logitech for notebook and I have the gspca drivers installed. When I plug the camera, the LED lights up and I can use it for example with vlc to capture a video. When I start skype the camera turns off. If I plug it out and in again then in the skype options I can see it only in the Sound Devices section, but not in the Video Devices.
I am with suse 10.3, x86_64, however with the i586 skype 2.0.0.68 ...

I installed gspcav-kmp-default-01.00.12_2.6.22.17_0.1-6.1, but it didn't change anything. The same messages showed up in my messages file, and skype didn't see any video device.

When I searched yasst for gspca, 2 items matched my cpu:

gspcav-kmp-default-01.00.12_2.6.22.17_0.1-6.1
gspcav1-kmp-default-20071224_2.6.22.17_0.1-10.2

SO, I also installed the gspcav1-kmp-default-20071224_2.6.22.17_0.1-10.2. However, the results are the same as when I started.

I saw this site:

http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Web_Cameras

It mentioned something about installing a 'uvc' driver for older kernels/systems.
I decided to try it anyway and installed via yasst:

uvcvideo-kmp-default-r171_2.6.22.17_0.1-3.5

Now, when I plug in my camera, I get more in the messages file:

Jun 5 15:30:30 zathras kernel: usb 4-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10
Jun 5 15:30:30 zathras kernel: usb 4-7: new device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=0990

Jun 5 15:30:30 zathras kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:0990)

That did the trick. It works now.
Thanks for the help. Feel free to update any documentation with my find.
