On a PC with 4 users (Karmic), I have installed a webcam. Everything (cam and mic) works for the default user. Cam works in cheese. For the 3 other users, there only are a "testpicture" in cheese and no mic . ???
View 4 Repliesjust installed ubuntu 10.04 a week back.It updated as well through the update manager.Then I installed latest version(beta) of skype from the .deb downloaded from their website.In the beginning my webcam was detected but the video used to flicker.So I searched the net for a solution.I tried launching skype using 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype' command but there was hardly any difference.Then I came across gstreamer properties.I tried the three options and there started the problem.Now my webcam is detected only on its first launch.Once i stop the test there appears a black screen.I uninstalled and reinstalled skype but in vain.I tested it using cheese and vlc as well.

I now updated to ubuntu 10.10 and now I do not get any errors but not any picture either. It just remains black regardless of whether I do the preload or not.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on both my laptop and desktop. I've gotten a Gigaware Webcam with Mic (Radio Shack) 25-157 camera to work out of the box on my Del E-1505, no problems. Even interfaces with Skype correctly.
On my desktop, though, the camera light comes on, the camera is recognized through lsusb:
Code:
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 093a:2620 Pixart Imaging, Inc. and /dev/video0 exists, but I can't access it through VLC or Skype.
I have a vx-6000 and the video and pictures actually works good but there is no sound can you get sound to work and how?

One has a mac and the other a windows machine. I really don't have anyone else to test this with as most people i know don't have webcams.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having here annoying "problem" with my webcamera. Everytime I want to use it as a microphone it needs to be switched manually in sound settings menu. It's not a big deal but I would really rather let it be switched automatically like plug and play or something like that.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI cannot find a post that matches this scenario...the id created during the install (from CD) of Karmic has fully usable sound. However, users created from the Users and Groups app do not.
I have made sure that all users are defined to the audio, pulse, pulse-audio, and pulse-rt groups. No luck.
I have followed every step I have read having to do with the alsamixer. No luck.
I have verified that alsa and linux itself are at the latest versions.
For some reason I can't connect my JVC MiniDv camera in kdenlive (or kino) until I run this script in terminal
Code:
sudo chmod 666 /dev/raw1394
but it needs re-entering each time I reboot my PC.
How can I make this access permanent?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFrom time to time I have seen messages asking if their new device works on Ubuntu. This is to advise that I recently purchased a "Smart Webcam" brand inexpensive webcam at a local U.S. building products chain. Strange place to find such a thing but it was very low priced so I thought "why not give it a try". As it turned out, it works with my 10.04 install. Shows up ok on Ekiga and in gstreamer-properties in terminal. The video image quality is not as good as some but is suitable for casual use.
The microphone is brought out via a "Y" off the USB cable and ends in a 1/8" audio plug that will plug into a sound input port. I have not tried the mic but it should work. There is almost no documentation provided. Lastly, I have no connection with either the manufacture or the store. Just thought someone might be considering one of these and wondering it would work in Ubuntu. It does for me.
Did you test a webcam which is immediatly recognized by ubunty 9.10 and works well on skype?

So 11.2 obviously supports that webcam somehow, since it works on my desktop. Looks to me like something simple should make it work on the laptop as well, but I have no idea what...

Which webcam is sponsored by DEBIAN TESTING that works surely with just a plug and play (skype / camorama...) ?
After a required:

I installed SSH-keygen dependancies for a /chroot user.

When I do it from any of the users that are not /chroot users, it works fine.
My logitech quickcam express works fine with gstreamer-properties and cheese, but i need to take webcam pics from console. It worked before the latest upgrade to squeeze, then:
My kernel is kernel 2.6.32-5-686
I don't know what to do... i'd like to run another kernel but i don't know which one..(and how to do that, i'm on remote)
I was impressed with the hardware detection in Fedora -- it picked up my wireless & webcam right out of the box. The odd thing is, that Fedora picked up the webcam right away, and it worked perfectly in Cheese (I was able to take both photos & video), but when I try to use it in Skype all I get is green "snow". The webcam is a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'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'm running Kubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10. I just got a no-name USB webcam. It works fine under Windows. Under Linux the behavior is odd and a little frustrating. xsane does recognize it, but when I attempt to preview it or scan, I get the message "Failed to start scanner; invalid argument". Under skanlite, I can scan an image but if I attempt a preview, skanlite generates an internal error. The USB code is...
Unlike the other USB devices, no name shows up.
I'd like to use this device under Skype, but the Linux version of Skype doesn't provide any way to test whether the device works or not. Windows does provide such a test (via Welcome), and the webcam works correctly there.
How can I civilize this beast?
I want to add 50 new users, not on the server yet I want to add them all to group Accounting - with 1 option, not user by user I want to setup a default password for them all, and have it say something like 'You must now change password or no access will be permitted' Any other options I also want to do once, not for each user?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed freenx on my desktop and decided to set up a custom key following this tutorial: [URL]
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure freenx-server
Here I chose 'Create new custom keys' and SSH. After copying the client.id_dsa.key file to my laptop, I was able to log in no problem. However, I decided to check and used another computer (running qtnx as a client) to attempt a login with the default key.
It still worked.
Have I missed something in the fine print here? If not, is there a way to fix this behavior?
Using webcam component of XawTV package as supplied with Ubuntu 10.10. My implementation seems pretty basic, just needs to snap every 5 seconds and ftp to web site. It actually works just fine, but only for an hour or so. Then process continues to run, but image does not update. Kill & restart webcam and it works fine again, until it doesn't. Video stream in XawTV window is fine throughout, so I don't think there's a hardware problem.
