Error -71 (usb 1.1 device descriptor read/all) displayed upon system loading

Open the console, plug your webcam then type the following:

$ dmesg | tail -n 20

You should see messages about your plugged device. Usually reading them carefully gives indication on whether the device is handled by the system or not.

To me your webcam is only seen as an audio device:

There is then no chance to have it work in Gondwana. You may try with the dailybuild based on Debian/Squeeze. It is supposed to handle many more webcams. I'm going to upload a new build within days (with several fixes of course).

Waiting for the new build then

Video device is detected correct at the latest Ru build but does not play sto video (monitor resolution 1280*1024)

See ticket #351 for the problem of STO files not opened. This was not built in the original Debian package.

Should we let this ticket opened?
