webcam logitech chat (spca5xx.c) no space on device

[anarchon]

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with setting up my webcam.

/dev/video gives me a no space on device left when I run gqcam or just cat on /dev/video.

dmesg outputs this as it should : (I tried already 4 different USB ports)

[ 5153.914292] usb 1-10: USB disconnect, address 5

anybody any idea how I could set this up ?

thanks in advance ...

Hi,

When other USB devices are present on the same host controller bus as the camera, the bandwidth requirements of the spca5xx driver are not being met, with some hardware configurations.
The spca5xx driver is asking for more bandwidth than is available which results in the following error messages:

No space left on device
can't open /dev/video0: No space left on device.

Please take a look at this howto. I hope that it helps you resolve your issues.
