[Bug 41779] Re: webcam error - ov511.c: No decompressor available

[Leann Ogasawara]

The Hardy Heron kernel was recently uploaded for testing.  We'd really
appreciate it if you could try testing with this newer kernel and verify
if this issue still exists.  Unfortunately, the Hardy Heron Alpha1
LiveCD was released with the older 2.6.22 kernel.  You'll have to
manually install the newer Hardy Heron kernel in order to test.  This
should not be the case for Alpha2.  However, here are the instructions
to install (if you choose to do so):

1) edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted

2) sudo apt-get update
3) sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic
4) reboot and select the new kernel from the grub menu

After you've tested, please feel free to revert back - ie boot into the
old kernel, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic, and remove
the line from /etc/apt/sources.list .  Please update this report with
your results.  Thanks in advance!
