I imagine that for installing ekiga-snapshot you also had to install
ptlib and opal related packages. Are you sure that when you
unsinstalled
ekiga-snapshot you also cleaned everything related to ptlib and opal
end
reinstalled the correct version for those dependencies of ekiga
version
2.0.12 ?
Yep. I've gone to great lengths to check that I have the right versions of
ptlib and opal (to the extent of reinstalling them).
However, when I run xawtv I get
adam Tohunga:~$ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.24-1-686)
xinerama 0: 1280x1024+0+0
can't open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
no video grabber device available
adam Tohunga:~$
It was previously working with v4l and
gspca-modules-2.6.25-2-686_2.6.25+01.00.20-2_i386.deb
Ekiga Preferences now tells me "No device found" ..
I have tried 'mknod /dev/video0 c 81' to no result .. I seem to be
missing an operand after '81' ..
I have also created /etc/udev/rules.d/06-dvb.rules and added the
following lines:
KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c"
SYSFS{vendor}="0x109e", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k",
NAME="video0"
.. and
edited /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh so thatk it has the following
#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo $1 | /bin/sed -e
's,dvb\([0-9]\)\.\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]\),dvb/adapter\1/\2\3,'
.. but Etch/Lenny tells me at login that they cannot be applied.
So /dev/video0 still wan't created by udev.
/var/log/messages gives me ..

What am I missing ?
