Ubuntu - Webcams

June 13th, 2008  | Tags:

Just got my hands on a creative labs webcam, model PD1130 which looking at my mug in cheese, works out of the box :)

1, tail -f /var/log/messages

2, plug in the mouse look for this

Jun 13 14:29:06 desktop kernel: [20558.848138] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3

Jun 13 14:29:06 desktop kernel: [20559.021990] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Jun 13 14:29:06 desktop kernel: [20559.028415] /build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24/debian/build/build-generic/media/gspcav1/gspca_core.c: USB GSPCA camera found.(ZC3XX)

3, start up cheese and produce something like this :) If you have a cheese pic [no not the food as some of my friends have sent me] then send them to paul at paulmellors dot net

    Creative webcams do seem to work really well. That’s what mine is. I never got it going on Windows, but it works on Ubuntu.
