Newbie - Acer Aspire One ZG8 - uvcvideo: Failed to set UVC probe

Post by snoopyonline78 » 2022/05/19 05:40:40

Dear Community,

I installed centos i386 on This Device, and no way to work with it. The screen is full of this Error messages. No Graphical interface. I can write but it terrible through the lines:

1369.593639] uvcvideo: Failed to set UVC probe control -71 (exp. 26).
1369.603268] uvcvideo: Failed to query (129) UVC probe control : -71 (exp. 26).

I have this Questions:
Is the Problem generated by missing Driver?
Is the problem the webcam or the Graphiccard? Or both?
Is there a chance to stop the message spamming me?
Why the Standard driver is not working? should be a Intel Graphicchip?
Can the Problem be solved?

Thanks a lot!

Snoop

uvcvideo is a driver for a webcam, most likely USB attached. It has nothing to do with your video card. I would suggest blacklisting the module to get rid of the messages and then research to see if you can find out how to fix the problem. Or, if you don't want to use the webcam in linux, leave it blacklisted and forget about it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

I tried to install the last release, but the notebook hungs after selecting ‘install sent OS’

"CentOS 8 died a premature death at the end of 2021 - migrate to Rocky/Alma/OEL/Springdale ASAP"

you mean that I should not install lentos anymore?

are Rocky/Alma/OEL/Springdale Redhat based distributions too? I don'n understand?

Where can I find this dist?

Thanks a lot an sorry for stupid questions

Yes. Alma, Rocky, Oracle, Springdale, EuroLinux, and many other distros take RHEL sources and do rebuild, just like CentOS Linux used to do.

The CentOS Stream is not one of them. It is a preview to development of RHEL, not a clone of released RHEL.
