skype on fedora 14 x86_64

[Johan Scheepers]

Good day,

Just installed skype and it is working.

Can speak to otherside.
Can see the otherside.
Can hear the otherside.

Now I would like to get a webcam going.

Did some google but it seem that this is still in diapers??

I do have a logitech (model unknown) for a few years.
Works fine on windows.

Willing to buy a webcam that does work on fedora 14 x86_64.

Kindly some pointers please.
Thanks
Johan

Hi Johan,

It works Plug and play, with Vx-1000, Vx-3000, and Vx-6000.  All them
from M$.

Have a look at This Place. <http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/6317.html>

Bye,
Lucélio.

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

run skype with the LD_PRELOAD and see if that works.  I've had the same
issue in the past with distos with more up to date libraries...

What exactly happens when "Test does not work"? On my system I get a 
segmentation fault. Is that what you see as well? I can see from skype's forum 
on video that a ubuntu user on 12/26 reported this very problem.

OK.  Done all the motions as above.
Test does not work.
The device shown in cheese is the same as the one in skype options.
Does this mean there is still something amiss?

He is talking about the latest kernel. "uname -r" will tell you what version 
you are currently running. If it isn't the latest, do a "yum update",
reboot, 
and then try your webcam again.

That said, I am not sure it will work. Use lspci and/or lsusb to find some 
details about your webcam. Do you have a /dev/video entry in /dev? Or 
/dev/video0 or something similar? If you do, it is likely that your webcam is 
recognized and the proper driver is already in place.

HTH, :-)

Ok. Got the same skype as above.
Cheese shows that the webcam can photo, record, multiple photos.

Kindly explain how does it get connected to skype please.
This is a learning experience to me.

Select options in the pull down menu or "control o" then select "video
devices"
Select "Enable Skype Video"

There should be a window with "test" - select test - you should see yourself.

Ok, then you're all set. To send webcam stream, you only need to click
on the light blue button in the call window and select the "show my
webcam" (sic). The button should show up when a call is active and I'm
not able to test that right now to tell you the exact wording of the
option, so you'll have to figure that out by yourself.

If your webcam is supported, it ought to work out of the box. It's
working for me with skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586. You can use the 'cheese'
webcam program to test if your webcam works.

Hi Johan,

Try to use your logitech on 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64.   It works.
