Last month we discussed the problems with webcams in CentOS 6 and I raised Bugzilla #1158988 with Red Hat. This bug has now been declared a duplicate of 1145805. Unfortunately I'm unable to access that report so although I know Red Hat are looking into the matter I don't know what they're doing.

Hi,
Could you be more specific about your issue? Does the webcam get detected? if you use 'cheese' do you get any errors in say 'dmesg'?
There has been a webcam issue of late that seems to trace back to a regression with the latest kernels. This was fixed in the centos plus kernel, but there is a wait to see what Red Hat will do. This is a kernel issue and all kernel bugs are locked from public view bar Red Hat people and the reporter.
Issue seen and fixed in plus kernel:

Regards
Phil

I know all that: it was covered in the thread last month, where I promised to report any progress on the Red Hat bug.
I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.

If you want progress/info from the Red Hat side, you could always email the assignee on your bug report and see if that gets a response.

You can also try asking in your own Bugzilla #1158988 if they can add your email to the CC list of the private one. Sometime (but not all the time) they agree to do this for the original submitter.

Yes, I reported this same issue a couple of weeks ago.

Hey all,
The 6.5 to 6.6 update broke several items that I've discussed here. Some I have solved, others I had differed. Now I want to talk about my web cam issues. I have two web cams. This is what dmesg has to say when I plug them in and try to access them with Cheese Webcam Booth:

Anyone want to take a whack at solving this issue?
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
Linux mushroom.patch 2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 11 16:30:09 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux -------- End Forwarded Message --------
Well here's an update. My kids gave me enough shiny bits for Christmas so that I could assemble my new eight core machine to the point where I could start it up. No, it's not finished yet, but it's running like a scalded cat.
I made a clean new 64 bit install of 6.6 from the install DVD and then ran yum update. The web cam does not work with the new 64 bit machine either. I'm looking forward to the day when the kernel patch arrives.

Maybe one of my web cams will work now, NOT! Still waiting for the kernel patch that will fix the web cam defect.

I know what they are doing.
New kernel 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.i686 in the update packages last night. My web camera works again! YEA! YEA! YEA! First my 64 bit machine got it's update and the camera started working again. Then the 32 bit machine got it's update later in the evening and the camera started working again there too.
Thank you to all the CentOS packagers for all the great work that you do.
It's sad that it took almost three months for this to get fixed.
