It should be 0x093a Ox2468 , but this isn't rootcause.. or ? it's listed in module aliases..
I'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:
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:
Code:
Well, urm. I guess I'll have to install that missing module..somehow, but I do not really have hunch.
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?
I found drivers for the laptop, both the basic and the webcam. The problem is that image is very dark. On my other OS i don't have this issue. PS: My Laptop is = Asus f5rl
I have a Dell E6520 with Ubuntu 11.04 installed. The webcam and everything else has worked like a charm, including webcam in Skype and other applications. Today Skype webcam got VERY dark. I installed cheese and started it up. The screen was dark initially, but auto adjusted to be good again.
However in Skype same problems. So I followed this: [URL] and installed guvcview and tried to set some values. Suddenly I got some exceptions, and now nothing is working. Cheese will not even show anything else then a hint of a lamp that is in the background. I have tried to install many different software to be able to set the webcam, but no success. In some I get an decent image to start with, but then after one second it will go dark again.
I found a webcam lying around, i installed cheese, and it works.... but looks awful. Roommate had it set up on windows it pictures looked much better. Its just a small HP webcam (prob 1.3 MP), but pics should be better than they are. Max resolution is 352x288, pics are very dark, and barely has color.
Cheese Webcam Booth used to work fine but now it just closes after I open it, Facebook wont load my webcam (but other websites can, and I wanna take a picture. I'm using a Logitech Webcam. I don't know what kind because it doesn't say anywhere on the stupid thing, but it has a spinny thing (to adjust the focus I think) that says "Right Sound" on it, and it also has a microphone.
I have a script running at the moment via cron which takes a picture every minute from my webcam. gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc quality=95 ! filesink location=/home/user/$picture.jpg However, the camera is only on for one second and takes the picture which leads to very dark images as the light sensor hasn't had a chance to work yet. However, if I load up Cheese, it brightens after about 10 seconds of the camera being on. Is there anyway of adding in a delay to the pipeline above so the camera stays on for 10 seconds before actually saving the file to a jpg?
I am trying to use streamer to set up a cron job to take a picture with my webcam once/minute. The image that it is capturing is too dark - does anyone know a way to lighten it? I am capturing the image as JPEG.
I am looking for a free application for webcam that have a very good ,easy and flexible command line options. because I want to shutting down my X in a machine and use my web cam as a motion detector to detect a motion or some thing else and take picture and save them in an appropriate place or any other action that possible but in command line configuration or file configuration and does not need any graphical user interface.
I'm using the shiki colors theme from the repos right now. "Shiki-Noble" to be specific. When typing something into Firefox's URL bar the internet addresses have got a dark font color and are hard to read on the dark background. Here's a screenshot: FF.jpg
I've had similar issues with other themes and Firefox's URL bar before.
Does anyone have an example of a way to use ImageMagick or GIMP to Auto-White-Balance and scale 50% as a shell script? I'm asking because I usually do this to post-process photos in GIMP but being able to do this in a shell script means I could put it in Thunar in Xfce and save myself quite a bit of time.I checked the man page of mogrify and convert and didn't see any auto-white-balance type options that I am aware of
When I hover over an open programme which is on the task bar I get a pop up, but instead of a picture of the actually programme I get a grey box like this
i had just edited a picture in digikam that was going to be my new desktop wallpaper.when i went into system/preferences/appearance to make the new change it would not show the new picture that i had just edited as a choice to change my new wallpaper to. then i tried closing the appearance box and it would not close.then i shut down and restarted and when i bring up the appearance box it does not let me click on anything within.also can't close it.seems like other applications are working normally.
Does anyone know the Code to automount/autofs? I can't tell if my mount points are truly NOT mounted when not accessed. Especially since they show up in /proc/mouts:
The cryptographic underpinnings of the Internet, as presently constituted, are messy, chaotic and rather randomly constructed. And that infrastructure is not only ripe for a variety of attacks, but is not easily fixable, a group of experts said Friday. At a forum on browser security sponsored by a Washington policy think tank, a group of technologists and policy experts from industry and government outlined the serious architectural and implementation problems with SSL, the certificate authority infrastructure and the way that browsers handle certificates. It was not a pretty picture. The problems extend from the way that CAs issue certificates to how certificates are handled by the major browsers to the way that attackers are able to take advantage of the weaknesses throughout the system.
I need some expert advice here regarding the samba problem after upgrading. All data migrated with the appropriate permission. I transferred the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/samba/* files to the new server.
Previous working version (Slackware v11 - 32bits - Old Hardware) - samba-3.0.25a-i486-1_slack11.0 - XP Pro users are able to login and authenticate (NT DOMAIN) - Login script and file sharing with permission are okay too
Upgraded to (Slackware 13.1 64bits - New hardware) - samba-3.5.2-x86_64-1 - if the PC did not logoff, the file sharing and permission works fine. - If they logoff, they will not able to re-logon. - If I detach the PC from domain and then rejoin domain, I will be able to login to the domain, So I guess the samba configuration is working
I read it has to do with Machine Trust Account or something. - Can I convert or make samba 3.5 recognize the Machine Trust Account on the new hardware? - How can I check if the if the entry is successfully registered as machine trust account? I checked and found the 'machinename$' (example) in all three places /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb. I see no differences on the one PC that I unjoin and rejoin the domain versus those old domain name join to the old hardware.

I have a problem making work a webcam. At the begining, after the instalation of 10.04 in a new laptop, the webcam did not work but with a lsusb I see that the webcam was Webcam 5986:0241 acer. I was not able to config neither use the webcam with any application. After lots of test and forums reading I could not do my webcam to work, and now when I do a lsusb my webcam does not appear.
I've been using Debian for around ~3 months now, though before that a certain derivative thereof since the start of the year.Long story short is that I was installing packages, as you do, when apt-get prompted that I run apt-get autoremove, as it does. So, trusting the computer, I do, not bothering to read the chunk of packages that it recommends to remove. Life goes on, until a reboot reveals that there are issues.Short story shorter, a quick cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep remove spits out the following:
My server is running Ubuntu. I have no problem adding a windows XP to the domain. I however have a problem with windows 7 laptop. I keep getting the following error "The user could not be added because the following error has occurred: The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed".
I have this problem and the workstation is on windows 7 and the domain is on samba. My Xp computers are connecting fine just the windows 7 ones.i've even tried to do the registry edit and its not working.
