Where to download Dell Inspiron N5110 webcam driver for UBUNTU 11.10
 

Hello, guys. I'm using Dell Inspiron N5110 and the webcam does not work on my ubuntu 11.10. Could you help me ? Thanks

Hello,

I just downloaded a package (Camorama Web Cam Viewer) from the repository, and all is well. That does not, however imply that I'm using similar HW, or that Ubuntu didn't automagically set up *my* drivers. It did work first try though.

Camorama, Cheese, or any other webcam software should set things up for you. What have you tried using so far?

Thanks your reply . I have both installed on my ubuntu but didnot work. Any suggestions?

I have done some looking around and it seems that your machines webcam is not supported by Ubuntu and Dell does not have a driver/firmware for Linux. The only thing I could suggest is you try a newer kernel from backports or try a liquorix kernel.

yeah, I have installed both of them but did not work.

I love how people don't read previous replies.

Your camera is built in, but it may still be on the USB bus. If so try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UVC

You might want to hunt around on the Dell site. Last I knew they have a repo.

People I am pretty sure are still getting the connexant dial up modem driver there for instance.

If they maintain the repo still I would look for your driver there.

They also have a Dell Linux user mailing list. Thought I still had the address but can't find it.

Thanks. I followed your links to installed nvc . But when I typed svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk in my terminal and prompted svn: No repository found in 'svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc'.
