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. Please let me know if the above process helps.The driver for this webcam is already included, and it should work out of the box. After restarting your computer, now plug in your LifeCams and see if they work normally.

If no updates are found, then restart your computer at this point, however, it's important to let updates found install even if they seem unrelated to this issue.ġ0. If updates are found please install them, and once the updates successfully install please restart your computer.ĩB. then selecting "Updates and Security", next select "Windows Update" and select "Check for Updates Now".ĩ.

You can access Windows Update by selecting "Settings" in the Start Menu (that's the gear icon). Once restarted please update Windows by going to Windows Update and selecting "Check for Updates Now". If you've been able to find a Registry cleaning program, run it, if you have not, please restart your computer now.Ĩ. This process MIGHT working without running a Registry Cleaner but I feel it would help to improve the chances of success.ħ. Sadly, Microsoft doesn't provide such a tool and I can't post a link to one here, but there are several available via a Google search. The next step I suggest is to use a "Registry Cleaning" program to remove the former Driver's Data from the registry. Select the driver for the HD LifeCam (the name should include "LifeCam" in it but I'm not sure of the installed driver's exact name for that version), Right-click and select "Uninstall".Ħ. Go to “view” and select the option “show hidden devices” to reveal all the hidden and old drivers.ĥ. Press “Win + X” and select "Device Manager"Ĥ. Type the following and press the Enter:ģ. Press “Win + X” and select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the list of optionsĢ. Unplug both of the Lifecams from their USB ports, and leave them unplugged for now.ġ. Let's try a different route of uninstalling the existing driver, then running Windows update, then trying to reconnect the Webcam.
