Webcam problems with Cheese in Ubuntu 11.10

Can you give the output of:

lsusb; lsb_release -a

Thanks

Logitech hate Linux by the way and flat refuse to support it

Logitech C300 suppose to work with Linux:

When I install Ubuntu 11.10 and it take a snapshot for my profile it works. Picture is normal then.
And with some other webcam applications to.

It's only with Cheese it works bad. If read at the bug report Benjamin wrote he uses another manufactor and it works bad with Cheese to.
(see the screenshot that are included)

I have no acces to the Ubuntu computer at the moment. But when I do I will try to write more.

It doesn't happen with logitech only.
With my Lenovo T420s integrated webcam I have the same problem only with Cheese:

lsusb; lsb_release -a

Sounds like a regression bug then. If it was ok in Natty then I suggest you run:

ubuntu-bug cheese

And report the issue

I have the same problem with:
ID 046d:08ad Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX

I have the same strange color when i use gstream-properties or video on linphone

ID 046d:08d7 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX

Same issue here. The webcam works with MPlayer and VLC, but not with applications that work with GStreamer.

I have tested Cheese in Pardus 2011.2:

http://www.pardus.org.tr/en

Works fine there. So this problem are Ubuntu related.

If you have the webcam detached when you boot then log in and run:

dmesg | tail -n 10

You will get the kernel reaction to the device. Do this on both ditributions and compare

I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 at a friends laptop (LG). Cheese works fine there. So it seems like this problem not appears at all computers.
So are it a kernel problem if it works there?

This solution was helpful for me:
