Re: no accepting address and /dev/video0

Thanks for your replies. Michel: I have basically tried everything I can think of by now. I have tried both USB sockets and there are no other USB devices connected (only my wireless card is connected). I tried to connect my USB external hard drive which works fine but the camera wont work. I created manually /dev/video* directories, with mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0 mknod /dev/video1 c 81 1 chmod a+rw /dev/video0 ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/video as root. But that did not help. When I google the error message kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address usb 2-1: device not accepting address 58, error -71 it looks like a lot of people have had this error for many different reasons, but I have not found a working fix for this. I have tried to reinstall the spca5xx driver but that did not help. I have set the permissions I got this error when opening gnomemeeting (maybe this is relevant?): Error while starting the listener You will not be able to receive incoming calls. Please check that no other program is already running on the port used by GnomeMeeting. Might this (from linux-usb.org) be relevant: A:In the 2.6.10 kernel the method of enumerating devices was changed to follow a similar algorithm as Windows (while the standard allows both many devices require the Windows method). It seems some devices do not like this new method though. If you have started having a problem since this kernel with some of your devices you might want to use the option "old_scheme_first=y" with the usbcore module. Finally, I am not sure that my /proc/bus/usb/devices file is showing the correct info. It has three blocks of info even when no device is connected to the computer. Should I perhaps delete all contents in devices (but I am not sure how to do that, the file is probably critical for running processes). The contents of devices is: T: Bus=03 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06 S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3 uhci_hcd S: Product=UHCI Host Controller S: SerialNumber=0000:00:1d.2 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

Can you think of any more things to try. And can you recommend some debug methods so I can look into this in more detail...

no accepting address and /dev/video0

Dear webcam experts, First after I installed the spca driver it worked fine in gnomemeeting. Then two days later the camera stopped working. I get the error device not accepting address in the system log (see below). I have updated the kernel and tried changing the BIOS settings in line with recommendation on http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#ts6 but neither worked. I have tried to use modprobe spca5xx usbgrabber=1 as recommended on http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-54683.html, but it did not help. I have tried to disable acpi but that did not work. Many thanks, Bjorn.
