Description Joseph Mingrone freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-04-10 15:39:24 UTC
This is on a Lenovo X220 running 12.1.

% webcamd -l | grep Camera
webcamd [-d ugen0.3] -N Chicony-Electronics-Co---Ltd--Integrated-Camera -S unknown -M 0

% sudo service webcamd start
Starting webcamd.
Attached to ugen0.3[0]

% pwcview -s vga
Webcam set to: 640x480 (vga) at 5 fps

Normally this works, but something gets triggered, so that this only brings up a green screen and the LED on the webcam is not lit up.  I've tried restarting webcamd, reloading the cuse kernal module and

% sudo usbconfig -d ugen0.3 power_off
% sudo usbconfig -d ugen0.3 power_on

The only way to stop pwcview is to send a kill signal.  This text is then reported:

Webcam set to: 640x480 (vga) at 5 fps
^Clibv4l2: error dequeuing buf: Device not configured
Error reading from webcam: Device not configured

A wild guess is that some process is blocking something, but I have yet to find a culprit.

I believe the only fix is to restart the laptop.  I will confirm this later.
Comment 1 Hans Petter Selasky freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-04-10 15:51:47 UTC
Can you show what is printed in dmesg?

Also I'm working on a libv4l update, see:

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D24355

Try to re-build and re-install the ports patched!

And then re-run the test.

Make sure you simply run "make deinstall" first, then

make all install clean

1) v4l_compat
2) libv4l
3) v4l-utils

--HPS
Comment 2 Hans Petter Selasky freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-04-10 15:53:33 UTC
Also try to use a 12-stable kernel. There has been some updates in cuse.

(In reply to Hans Petter Selasky from comment #1)
Do you want everything from /var/run/dmesg.boot or something specific from there?
Comment 4 Hans Petter Selasky freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-04-10 16:07:50 UTC
Are there any ugen detach message?
Comment 5 Joseph Mingrone freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-04-10 16:15:31 UTC
(In reply to Hans Petter Selasky from comment #1

I don't see any ugen detach messages, but dmesg is polluted by a repeating chrome message.  I'll try to keep a watch and see if anything is reported.

I haven't seen this before.  I'll try patching manually.

Comment 6 Hans Petter Selasky freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-04-10 17:10:41 UTC
The patch remove some patch files, so you maybe need to add the -E option to patch to get them deleted.
Comment 7 Hans Petter Selasky freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-04-10 17:11:36 UTC
Also make sure you run on the latest ports tree as of today.
Comment 8 Joseph Mingrone freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-03-03 16:32:25 UTC
I think we can mark this as overcome by events.
Comment 9 Hans Petter Selasky freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-03-03 16:34:18 UTC
Glad to hear!
