hello,
I am on ubuntu 11.04
I can start camorama, it is OK but when I click on take a picture, nothing happens
I tried to try the solution proposed :
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama, and I got the grey picture as said above plus the window "unable to take a picture" (that I did not get before , but before camorama did nothing when clicking take a picture)
BUT in the terminal after starting the command "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama" I get the error :
(camorama:8137): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
libv4l2: error reading: Argument invalide
Then I installed cheese (thanks zasq (zasq) ) which is working!
I am sad to see that since 2009 no solution was found, because before I was just using camorama to check my webcam, and today I have seen that there is a take a picture button and tried it! (OK it is easy to say that because I know nothing about ubuntu but using it)
Coul I get an answer? Thanks
Regards
