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.

On ubuntu I cannot find my printer model listed, but ubuntu gives the option to search for drivers online. This method succeeds.On kubuntu there's no such option. I cannot install my printer driver.

Problem: when Kubuntu's Print Configuration Tool went looking for printers, it found every network printer's IP address, but missed my CUPS printer server. What did I do wrong on one or both ends (I have control over both).
I have a budget of around $150AUD or ~$126USD - what would you recommend as being the best webcam for that budget that is fully compliant with Ubuntu 10.04 64bit?
I'm only looking to skype and do some basic video tutorials,
I am a recent convert to Ubuntu 10.10 from Vista. I work from home and do all of my work via remote login and video conferencing through Skype. In Vista, I could use my DV Camcorder as a webcam which, in turn, gave me video for Skype. In Vista, I used a program call "Tracker Cam" which I could run, and then it would act like a video driver for Skype and presto, I had perfect video in Skype.
Now that I am in Ubuntu, I am trying to achieve the same thing. I can hook up my DV Camcorder (A Sony Handycam HDR-HC5) and see the live video through Kino. However, this doesn't help me with Skype. I still can't enable video, or select a video device in Skype. I have Googled this up and down with no leads.
So, I am wondering if anyone has done this with Skype (or other programs) to get their DV Camcorders acting like webcams for video calls or is this just one of those things that won't work in Ubuntu?
i have been using a webcam on my netbook in ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix. it seems to not detect the camera after a while and i have to reboot to get it to work again. is there anyway that i can restart the driver or something without rebooting the netbook?

But I'd like to record a video from it and save it to a file. How can this be done?I tried Cheese and no audio was recorded.I tried GUVCView and it was fine except for slow video & audio delay.I can't find any other programs for recording webcams on Linux.

How do I install the webcam so that it is recognized by programs? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome 2.30.0
I'm using Wubi to dual boot 9.10 off windows xp. I have been having very good luck figuring things out using this ubuntu forum, which I am more grateful for than any of you could ever imagine, But I have a webcam issue I just can't figure out. Heres my question. I just recently bought a VERY cheap usb webcam from a company named HDE. There doesn't seem to be a specific name or even model number for this webcam, but here is the web page of the webcam I bought, http://www.hdeshop.com/USB-3-LED-PC-...B0015TJNEY.htm The website only provides drivers for windows vista and windows xp, but I figured there might be a chance or possibility that I could force this webcam to work on ubuntu 9.10. I plugged in the webcam and it did show up in skype, but the picture is all green and there is a double of me.
Plus, the actual webcam device will not show up in skype, I can't select the webcam, but regardless it still shows a green double vision image when I test it or do a video call.Skype seems to be the only thing this webcam kind of works with, It will not work with Cheese though and doesn't show an image in gstreamer. I want to mention that when I go to Cheese Preferences there is a webcam device that appears and sayse "USB 2.0 Camera (/dev/video0)" but I can't select it. I'm not sure what to do about this or how to fix it? I've searched around the internet and read the ubuntu documentation on webcams but really haven't had any luck for my specific webcam. I would just like the webcam to be detected by ubuntu 9.10, to work properly in skype, and work in cheese so I can record video's.

I read that it is possible to use the iPhone as a webcam on OS X, but i wanted to know if it is possible on linux?

I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop with a built-in webcam. I installed Cheese months ago and it worked fine then -- pics, videos, the works.
Now, after some updates recommended by Canonical, Cheese is telling me that it can't find the webcam. I tried dumping it an reinstalling, but to no avail.
Anyone out there know what's going on? Did the updates knock out a hardware driver?
Am running 9.10 on my Medion 2320 laptop.
Am trying to get the webcam working, but cannot figure out how to access it. I am aiming to get it working with aMSN eventually.
Ubuntu, in its most recent version (9.10) has stopped to support certain webcams that it previously supported with just plug-and-play simplicity. After many searches on the web, I could somehow managed to make my old webcam (Logitech QuickCam Traveler) work. Skype couldn't see it, but adding the command bash -c 'export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so; skype' to the launcher, worked the miracle.
Whatever, the image was very dark, and in a new web search I found a solution [url] As stated there, I opened the Terminal and entered:
Code:
All is OK, brightness gets up, I can finally see my face (not a great view, but I somehow got away with it) in Skype's test, but I need that change to be PERMANENT, so every time my parents open Skype (it's my parents' computer) they won't have to mess with Terminal (they're 69 and 72 years old, it's their first computer, so I CAN NOT expect them to use Terminal, they just want to open Skype and use it, as they did when they used Windows (until two weeks ago, when I finally convinced them to switch).
I have a sony vaio laptop model VGN-S2370P with an integrated webcam. I wondered what I needed to do so that I could use the webcam. I already have Cheese installed but it cannot detect the webcam. Is there any driver I need to install or something like that? On windows everything works perfect.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been having problems setting up my microphone and webcam for internet use. I won a Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 on the internet and it doesn't work on ubuntu. I'm sure it works because I also have Windows Vista installed on my laptop and it works perfectly well when using Skype, Windows Live Messenger and even Gtalk.
This webcam model has an integrated microphone, which doesn't work either, even though it works just fine on Windows. I have tried to configure the mic, but when I test-record the sound all I can hear is just noise. I have test-recorded using a headset (which also works on Windows), but I didn't have any success, so I have to believe that I haven't configured something the way it was supposed to be or that a driver is missing.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on my MSI-16362 laptop and it doesn't recognize my built-in webcam. last time I used Ubuntu (9.04 I think) it recognized the LT webcam w/o any problem. Does someone has any idea how to fix it?
