LifeCam VX-1000 - no picture
by berndbausch from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52AQZ)
This is on Fedora 28 with Gnome. LifeCam VX-1000 is an older USB web cam that matches the gscpa_sonixj driver. When I plug it in, I see this in the message buffer:
Code:[10979.278043] usb 2-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci

[10979.513347] retire_capture_urb: 5 callbacks suppressedThe driver is then loaded.
I test it with the Cheese program. Trying to take a photo, it turns out all black. The LED on the camera is not lit. However, when I press the camera's button, Cheese starts the countdown and takes a snapshot (all black again).
How can I troubleshoot this?
