Ubuntu :: Inbuilt Webcam Not Detected?
Jul 20, 2011
My Ubuntu 10.04 will not detect the inbuilt webcam on my Compaq Presario CQ61 laptop computer. This laptop only runs Ubuntu as I removed Windows when I got it home new from the shop a few years back. Haven't tried to get the webcam working until now. I have downloaded "Cheese" and when I run it I get the message No Device Found.I have also tried gstreamer-properties in a terminal and get the message video for linux 2 (v4l2): Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'
is it a lost cause to get my webcam working?

Any software for Ubuntu that will record video using the built in laptop webcam or a usb webcam. I am looking for something that works by motion detection so it isn't constantly recording. I installed Zoneminder since it was the only thing I could find, but I couldn't get it to work.

I have installed opensuse 11.4 in my lenovo ideapad G460. But, I am not being able to make the inbuilt microphone work. It does not record anything and also does not work in skype. I am not that expert with linux. I looked at different posts in this forum regarding microphone detection problem, bit could not follow. How to setting up my inbuilt microphone?

Not sure exactly where to go on this one... I'm trying to get the embedded/stock webcam on my wife's Dell dv6000 to work.
I'm told that this webcam works fine via uvcvideo and have tried to install the package but am thinking the problem is with ubuntu's detection itself.
Outputs:
Code:
christina@christina-laptop:~$ ls -la /dev/v*
crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 0 2010-11-13 15:26 /dev/vcs
crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 1 2010-11-13 15:26 /dev/vcs1
crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 2 2010-11-13 15:26 /dev/vcs2
[Code]....

I couldn't use it, but it was still being detected by hardinfo and when I typed up lsusb, it came up in the list of available devices. For some strange reason, Cheese couldn't use it, so I tried using luvcview instead, to find that the path /dev/video0 didn't exist. I changed the name of /dev/video1 to /dev/video0; thereupon, I could use my webcam with luvcview just fine, so I did a test call with Google Talk, and I could see myself fine, only it froze when I moved my screen. I did a second call, and a few seconds in, my image froze again, and my cam isn't being recognized by hardinfo or lsusb now.
Any suggestions? Is my issue hardware originated, or do you think it might have had something to do with the fact that I changed /dev/video0 to video 1?
Also, I'm on Natty Narwhal 11.04.
EDIT: This is what I'm getting when I type "lsusb":
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
My webcam used to be on Bus 005, so might there be a slight chance it's still being recognized?
EDIT 2: After doing "lsusb" several times I found that the webcam can be recognized on certain positions of the screen. Looks like my issue is hardware-related.

I have spent many time searching for my prob but couldn't solve it. i installed ubuntu 9.10 recently. the problem is that my integrated webcam and microphone are not being detected. i tried cheese, camorama webcam viewer and skype.. its like that webcam drivers are not installed. and i couldn't find any drivers.
camorama gives the error: could not connect to video device(/dev/video0)
cheese also says No camera found!
reading other threads i found that lsusb comand output might help so here is its output.. code...

I'm using openSUSE 11.1 and i have problems using the USB webcam.
First of all i do not know the commands to check whether the device is detected or not. My webcam is iBall c12.0 and is USB video compilant.
The Cheese software says 'no camera found'.
Please inform about what commands to use and what softwares/drivers to use.

I find that once i log into gnome i have to pull out the Logitech C600 web cam and plug it for it to show up in the 'input' tab under sound preferences.
It's a bit of a hassle to do this every time i log on. I tested it in Ubuntu 10.04 and the webcam is properly detected at the boot.

Using Slackware 13.0. Have a Microdia web cam (60fc) and was (still am) looking for a simple free application to test it. Found a site which identified the drivers, modules, etc. needed so was checking my messages file and noticed that the Image Sensor HV7131R is not always identified as being detected when booting: kernel: usb 1-1.3: HV7131R image sensor detected Is this a problem or what?
I found modules videodev, V4L2, but could not find compat_ioctl32 and it is not listed in the modules loaded. Is this correct? Could not "find" it. I see usbcore listed during booting but does this mean it is a module? or a driver? or what? Also cannot find the an appropriate module that is for either ehci_hcd or uhci_hcd related as both of these appear in the messages. Also I see that the camera is for SN9C105 bridge and know that the "sn9c105" is supposed to be included in "sn9c102" module(?) but the SN9C105 camera notation does not always appear in messages. Is this correct? or (I think) I am confused by the numbering and cases used, i.e. what is a module (loadable?) a bridge and why change cases? Can someone straighten me out? Are all modules loaded listed by lsmod or just the loadable ones and usbcore etc. are "modules" loaded at another time?

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 am going to set up a Ubuntu installation on an external USB drive as per CS Cameron's advice in[URL]..I will put home on a separate partition and encrypt it when I reinstall Ubuntu using the inbuilt encryption in Ubuntu 10.04. (My data will be on there so it should be safe for a short while if the disk goes missing)
My question is: If I plug the USB drive into another computer which runs ubuntu (but cannot boot from USB), will ubuntu running in the "normal" way installed on the local fixed hard drive, be able to access the data on the partition if i tell it the password?

I've been running wubi for about 2 weeks now, and am completely new to all this. Everything was running fine, until yesterday when I restarted my laptop and the sound died. It had been working fine before, but now no sound comes out of the inbuilt speakers. However, the sound works perfectly through my headphones. Am running 11.04 on an Inspiron 1525, I don't know what other information you need, so if you ask me I'll try and find it. Also the sound works fine in Windows.

I run Ubuntu 10.04 on a Sony FZ-VGN15C Laptop. On start-up of Ubuntu I get two error messages including '...Video : Failed...' (the message is too fast to be read completely) This might relate to the fact that my built in camera does not work with Skype or Cheese Webcam Booth. The webcam type is VGP-VCC4 by RICOH.

While I was exploring my newly installed Mandriva Linux 2010 in my system, I found some emoticons somewhere in a window ( I exactly don't remember where ). I want to know where to use those emoticons or what are the uses of those emoticons. Please give me an example. If possible also please tell me where I could find that emoticons i.e. in desktop settings or somewhere else. I forgot the location.

I recently installed skype on my rhel 6.0, 64 bit. But the problem is, my mic doesn't work. The sound comes out through the speakers of my Toshiba laptop even though my external mic is plugged into the mic ports. I can hear the other end (from the computer's speakers not from the head set of the mic) but the other end can't hear me. I went to system preference, sound, input and nothing is muted and when i talk through the mic the input level bar doesn't move. I typed arecord --list-devices and lsusb and i got the following results. Can anyone tells me what to do to get my mic works? Note that i use windows 7 on the othe partition and the mic just works fine.
