View 4 RepliesI've just bought a new, cheap webcam. The manufacturer is "Trust", who builds chips of Microdia in their products. So, I plugged my new webcam, noticed that the driver obviously is missing and I finally decided to use Google.
Well, there were some tutorials which include manual installation of gspca (which should be included in the recent kernel files, but somehow isn't). So..I tried the manual installation and it aborts with the message, that there was some error in one of the code files..however.
I continued searching for a solution and found it on the German Ubuntu community page, ubuntuusers.de. Their wiki says that I have to run the following commands that download and compile the right drivers for my webcam. Or at least they should do so.
Code:
Code:
Code:
Code:

And eventually it should work properly. So far the theory. In fact it aborts at exactly this point:
Code:
And gives the following error message:

Well, urm. I guess I'll have to install that missing module..somehow, but I do not really have hunch.
I have buy new webcam Trust WB-1400T, connected to my Fedora and got very dark picture with probably bad whitebalance, while on windows, result is much better with the same device.
I tried:
1) HW check, verified - running OK
2) checked, if HW is supported. it is by driver gspca_pac207 with 5 stars
3) dmesg:
4) lsmod :
5) modinfo:
Here is an example of Win / Lin difference :

I also tried to adjust camera using v4l

It should be 0x093a Ox2468 , but this isn't rootcause.. or ? it's listed in module aliases..

Im trying to connect my webcam (Trust 16175) to a Debian 5 box:
Installed:
And with no luck - as I see it the correct driver is not loaded - Using "modprobe gspca" makes no different. I have seen in some papers that the 093a:2621 is supported by gspca. How do I get it to work?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a crappy usb UVC webcam (iCan brand), but I don't really know how to get it working? Do I need to install any drivers? What software would I use to get it to work? Do I need to enable anything? It doesn't seem to be showing video if I open skype, although it does detect that I have something on /dev/video0, and lsusb gives:Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0ac8:332d Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS one week ago without any problems on my Packard Bell EasyNote MX67-P-023 notebook.
Everything works fine except my webcam "USB 2.0 Camera"
lsusb: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller
In programs like aMsn, Emesene, or Cheese it's recognized as "USB 2.0 Camera"
For example(I'm translating menus from italian) in aMSN->preferences->Other->Audio Video:
- select device box: "v4l2: USB 2.0 Camera"
- select channel box:" ALi m5602"
- and in the video box where image should appear: "unable capture from device"
In the other programs it shows a completely blank screen, or sometimes a blank screen with some strange uncomprensible white-grey stripes.
Yesterday i installed UBUNTU Linux to my laptop, but my webcamera and mic not working in UBUNTU.I checked sound settings, is all unmute. I downloaded GNOME Alsa MIxer, PulseAudio etc but nothing happened..I read other topics, someone said to type that commands (may be helpful to understand any problem i have -?-) "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec"--> Codec: Realtek ALC275"cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" --> cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: No such file or directory
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy computer has been running well for a couple of years with Ubuntu and the Gnome desktop. I use a very cheap webcam from PCWorld PC Line 1.3 Mega Pixels with Cheese and Skype which worked on Ubuntu. The new Ubuntu Unity desktop seems most unintuitive and reading that Ubuntu may not include Gnome for the next release is my reason to make the change to Debian. I am aware Ubuntu is a Debian derivative.
I have installed Debian Squeeze and everything is working properly apart from the webcam. When I open Cheese the webcam works but very slowly although it will not capture video. When I open Cheese > Preferences, I see the Device listed as USB 2.0 Camera (/dev/video0) but greyed out. When I open Skype > Options > Video I see the same greyed out listing but no image appears in the test area.

I just installed skype on my F12 yesterday, the webcam I am using is a logitech C200, which has built-in microphone. I got the video working fine but not the microphone. No sound can be recorded.The same microphone works fine on my Windows 7, so at least I can eliminate hardware issue.I have never used microphone on my F12 before
View 6 Replies View RelatedOkay, I've got a small webcam for my laptop that doesn't come with Linux drivers, only Windows drivers. Any linux-based drivers that came with Ubuntu 9.04 that might work don't. How do I make the Windows drivers for the webcam work with the hardware so I can use the webcam?

>> Webcam is working fine in Cheese Webcam Booth.
But it's not detected in skype. I tried this command
Code:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
>> I didn't work as last time. Error Messages of it on terminal is as under:

I have a XPS 1530 and when I type

It seems to be that the camera is recognized by the OS but it is not working when I try to use it in skype or in EVO.
Few months ago I had updated my OpenSuse 11.2 to new kernel but I broke it so never got to fix it. Now I've upgraded it to 11.3 and its working really well. Really happy with the KDE interface. Not missing Windows 7 at all (dual booting). I've got almost everything working and in fact got a lot more apps than Windows. For example 2 or 3 different versions of MSN Messenger!
I've got couple of minor issues. Firstly, my Logitech Webcam isn't getting detected by OpenSuse. When I open up the Cheese app it doesn't detect any cam.
Secondly, is there a Yahoo Messenger available for Linux? I've got some family/friends who use MSN and others Yahoo. I need webcam functionality in Yahoo Messenger.
I am new to Linux. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 and update to 9.04, the built-in webcam is not working at all. once again I am an idiot on linux but love Ubuntu.

http://v4l2spec.bytesex.org/spec/capture-example.html
I connected the webcam and compiled the program successfully without any error. When I try to RUN the program I could see some strange things happening but no output. I could see a camera is detecting but I could not see any display on the screen.Here is the compile and execution result of my code.
As you see my output, It just prints a dotted line and stops the execution automatically. While printing the dotted line, I could see my webcam lights switch on for sometime but no display on the screen.
The idea is I need to display and run the webcam on the VLC player.
webcam works fine in Cheese. skype sees the webcam, but cannot play it. test does nothing. start my video opens a little empty box and never streams.

Cheese is distorted, discolored. But XawTV and guvcview work fine. 640x480 Image of webcam is below. I do have Cheese pointing at my webcam and not my Digital TV card.
I can view my webcam in the configuration setting in kopete, but I'm not able to view my cam on skype, it keeps on showing a gray screen! I tried almost go through on the web about this.
