    [SOLVED]Hardy amd64 on Dell Inspiron 1525 - Webcam won't turn off!

    My webcam turns on by the time i'm at the kdm login screen, and won't turn off...Please Help...I think Big Brother's finally found me!!!

    1) I was trying to get my webcam to work with Kopete 0.2.7 (KDE 3.5.10) and got an error that I needed something called Jasper.

    2) I load adept and download the following:
    libjasper-dev
    libjasper-runtime
    libjasper1
    dov4l
    libpt-1.10.10-plugins-v4l
    libpt-1.10.10-plugins-v4l2
    libpt-1.11.2-plugins-v4l
    libpt-1.11.2-plugins-v4l2
    libv4l-ruby1.8
    libvideo-capture-v4l-perl
    libvideo-ivtv-perl
    v4l-conf
    w3cam
    wmtv
    gspca-source
    motion

    now my webcam light is always on...

    The problem was solved after I removed the following:
    libpt-1.10.10-plugins-v4l
    libpt-1.11.2-plugins-v4l
    motion
    wmtv

    P.S. it was probably motion that was causing the trouble!
