Sudo apt-key adv -recv-keys -keyserver C3FFB4AA Then commands echo -e "\n# libv4l PPA\ndeb `lsb_release -c | awk ''` main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list The workaround for Skype also works for other legacy applications and other webcams that only support unusual formats. Of course you have to use the same path here as above when testing. To something like Exec=env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype
Open the newly created $HOME/.local/share/applications/sktop in an editor and change the line Exec=skype This can be done in a Terminal with: mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/applicationsĬp /usr/share/applications/sktop $HOME/.local/share/applications/ If this works, you can change the Menu entry similar to how suggests doing:Ĭopy /usr/share/applications/sktop to a file in your Profile to prevent future updates from undoing your changes. In Ubuntu 12.04 the path for 64bit changed again, so use LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype In Ubuntu 11.10 the path changed, so for 32bit use LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skypeĪnd for 64bit use LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype Or if you're on a 64bit system (if output of uname -m is x86_64): LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype Start Skype from a Terminal window by running: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype To fix this, the proposed solution of the other answers is already almost correct. If the webcam does work in Cheese but not in Skype, that's because this webcam can only output JPEG compressed frames which Skype cannot handle.
You can check if it's loaded with: lsmod | grep sonixj The kernel module for this webcam is called gspca_sonixj.
#Cannot install lifecam vx 3000 software driver#
The driver for this webcam is already included, and it should work out of the box.
