idk if you need additional info to help me, but let me know, and let me know how to obtain it and i will. ohh and my webcam is the 14 dollar Logitech one from target i think its the c300 or something?

xxberzerkerxx 03-18-2010 01:36 AM

oh, and also. i did the whole Camorama thing and when i try to run it it says "unable to capture image"

You need to be much more specific about what it is.

I'll take a guess that it's a usb device. If so, when it is plugged in please run the following command and post the output
Code:

lsusb
Also please tell us what linux distribution and version you are running.

that is what comes up from the "lsusb"

and its ubuntu linux 9.04 i believe i just upgraded to

evo2 03-20-2010 09:44 PM

As far as I know that device should work. The error message you quoted from camorama is not so helpful, so could you please try the camera with another program for example gqview, ekiga, empathy or perhaps cheese?

Evo2.
