I'm looking for a Linux-controllable camera or Linux-compatible webcam that can produce native resolution photos in the 8MP+ range.
The computer needs to be able to trigger the capture and download the resulting image.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and a usb webcam that is shown as 'Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0ac8:3450 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.' by lsusb.
The problem is that on connecting the cam, it just works with the first program I start (skype, tokbox, messenger), and if I disconnect it or switch to another program, it stops to work and I have to restart my computer to make it work again.
Is there some good solution to reset the camera without rebooting to make it work again?
i have camera webcam on my laptop..but it didn't work.
how to install correctly with the right step?
Did you test a webcam which is immediatly recognized by ubunty 9.10 and works well on skype?

And also one important thing is missing.. (I don't know how to say that).. "ALWAYS ON TOP"
How do i get back that?
When I am trying Cheese to view the Webcam, I am getting a message "No Camera found".
But if I do a lsusb, then the following details are shown :
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0c45:6130 Microdia PC Camera (SN9C120)
Is there any way to correct this problem. I am on Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10.
I am a proud owner of the Kleinweich WebCam VX 1000.
I want to use my camera with Skype under OpenSuse 11.1. The camera is listed in the yast2 hardware configuration.
I tried to test the camera with luvcview.
I only get an error message:

A way to get this very popular webcam working on his linux PC? If not, which camera is the perfect "LINUX" webcam?
I am a newbie. I have a Dell Vostro 2510 running XP. I have virtualbox and installed ubuntu 10.10 aS guest.
The one issue I seem to have is i cannot get my webcam to work. I searched everywheres for some tips on what do to, but nothing seems to work.
I installed both Cheese and Skype. The camera is not even detected.
I was just wondering if there are any applications that would serve as a webcam manager in Ubuntu. I am running 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell XPS M1530. Under Windows, I was able to modify camera settings (resolution, image, special effects) from a dedicated panel any time the camera was on. I don't need a lot of flashy features, but it would be nice if I could lower the resolution so that Skype runs more smoothly.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use a Panasonic DVCPro HD camera as a webcam to stream live video from the camera to services like ustream.tv. Currently, the only way I can find to connect the camera to my computer puts the camera into a special pc connect mode (which does not allow recording) and makes the cameras p2 cards detected as drives. Obviously, this doesn't help me do live streaming (I don't even need to record on the camera).I've seen that on Mac OS X a program called camtwist can be used to do what I want, but it would be nice to find an ubuntu/linux solution.

I have FC8 on my laptop and then I wanted to test Ubuntu 8 so I installed Ubuntu and it removed the grub loader of Fedora then I repaired fedora with DVD and then it removed Ubuntu Grub. So how can I have two OS in one grub loader.I found grub.conf file in FC but couldnot find it in Ubuntu.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got the latest version of Ubuntu on my machine.My Linux partition is ext4, so I need to use a Linux boot loader capable of booting from ext4.Also, I want to be able to use the UUID of my partition instead of specifying "/dev/sda3".Right now I'm using the Grub2 (or whatever the f*** it's called) that comes with Ubuntu. It's the ugliest boot loader you'll ever see, the configuration file is disgusting.So with that in mind, I'd like to change boot loader.Lilo would be OK but I can't seem to get it to boot from ext4.The older version of Grub was fine too but again I don't think it can boot from ext4.

It could make this testing debian bit better to know which package has these issues.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been having a problem since I switched to Ubuntu a month or two ago; infrequently, my sound will stop working. It looks like when this happens Ubuntu doesn't even recognize that I have hardware capable of playing sound, even if I just was. It replaces the Audio Output options with "Dummy Output" and has no other options.I have tried doing some research on why this is happening, but all the issues I found were the audio output never recognizing any hardware, not just stopping after a while. I tried some of those fixes anyway, but the problem just came up again today. The only way I know how to reset it is to restart.
View 3 Replies View RelatedVLC does what I want, however, it often freezes up my system so that it's difficult to even kill itself. I have to do a hard reset because while playing something it gets stuck. If there's something I can do to stop that, what is it?If not, is there a more stable but equally capable alternative? I don't want to hunt for codecs.

I'm afraid of energy problems (don't know if this is the correct term), corrupting my mounted drives (like after a storm), so I thought about buying an UPS that sends a "signal" to my Linux box, and a script in my Linux box would unmout everything to avoid problems.Do this "UPS signal" feature exists? Do you have model suggestions?
