Dell Webcam Problem (0c45:63e0)

OS : Ubuntu Lucid  2.6.32-21-generic

Laptop : Dell Vostro 132o

 

Today I have  problem with my Dell laptop. The Webcam is suddenly stop working with Cheese, Skype, guvcvideo, etc. I remember it working good at my fresh Lucid installation.I have do that method but My webcam still not working.

Why it happen to Me??

As you know, this Webcam is supported with uvcvideo driver:

vostro@vostro-laptop:~$ dmesg |grep cam
[ 5859.747163] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Integrated Webcam (0c45:63e0)
[ 5859.764044] input: Integrated Webcam as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.0/input/input15

vostro@vostro-laptop:~$ lsusb |grep cam
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0c45:63e0 Microdia Sonix Integrated Webcam

vostro@vostro-laptop:~$ cheese
Segmentation fault

**(Cheese opened at about 2 second than closed again)

 

At last, I solved my problem.

First, You had to blacklist the uvcvideo module, at terminal type this :

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

then add this line

blacklist uvcvideo

then reboot ubuntu.

 

Second, after ubuntu loging back, open terminal :

sudo modprobe uvcvideo

then try to running again your Cheese or guvcvideo….tralala…my webcam back again.

 

NB:I think modprobe for uvcvideo at first loging is error, so we must blacklisting uvcvideo then manually modprobe it.
