[Bug 460290] Re: Ricoh webcam driver missing 05ca:183a

[Jan]

This is still an issue in the current Ubuntu release (lucid/64 with the
latest updates):

Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [   33.628213] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (05ca:183a)
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [   33.640293] uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported. Enabling workaround.
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [   33.640543] uvcvideo: Failed to query (129) UVC probe control : -32 (exp. 26).
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [   33.640603] uvcvideo: Failed to initialize the device (-5).
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [   33.640768] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [   33.641451] USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)

As a workaround try this:

       open a terminal

        $ sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libusb-dev build-essential gcc automake mercurial
	$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/
	$ cd r5u87x
	$ make
	$ sudo make install
	$ sudo r5u87x-loader --reload
	
	The loader will automatically be run on boot when it detects your webcam.
