I'm having a difficult time finding any resources for troubleshooting
getting webcams working on CentOS.

I've tried ports front and back... There was a message to "report quirks"
so I arrived here.

Thanks for any help you can offer -

Here's some details:

Hi Robert,
I'm having a difficult time finding any resources for troubleshooting getting
webcams working on CentOS.
Unfortunately, you neither say what you attempted nor what the result
was. That makes assistance kind of difficult.
http://superuser.com/questions/869060/webcam-problems-on-centos-6-6
Feel free to include the info on this list, for the afterworld.

Anyway, that said:
- What your X server recognizes as a "keyboard" is presumably the
button on the webcam, to be used as an "input device".
Jan 24 15:38:11 machina kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:0825)
Jan 24 15:38:11 machina kernel: input: UVC Camera (046d:0825) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-5/2-5:1.0/input/input28
I don't see any reports about it being aliased as /dev/videoX though,
which would be udev's task.

Have you tried using /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-5/2-5:1.0/input/input28
as your camera device for whatever software you are using? What are you
using - you didn't say, as I may remind you. ;-)

Cheers,
Moritz

Hi,
What do you mean by getting webcams working?

dmesg looks ok, uvcvideo detects the device just fine.

Have you tried any applications: guvcview, yavta, cheese, ...?

what's the output of these apps?

Regards,
Paulo

Device is connected but no video stream is working. I've tried all the
different combinations of resolutions and stream types.
It's generally yellow or nothing.

I updated the superuser.com post to show the output from cheese, camorama,
ucview - (yavta and guvcview are not part of centos 6)

The two errors that are common are:


libv4lconvert: warning more framesizes then I can handle! libv4l2: error
turning on stream: No space left on device

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to diagnose.

For the list - this is a known bug with EL6.6 reported in dec 2014 - I'm
running CentOS and the plus kernel has been patched to fix this - not
sure when it will be upstream. All my devices are working now.
