Need help activating webcam (model unkonwn)

I cant get my webcam to work (and I dont know which webcam model it is because nothing in written on it not even a company sign, its simply a black box with a stand, a mic and a lens). When ever I try any webcam app I get this error, or something very simular (/dev/video0: device or resource busy)
Code:
reading config file: /home/tiamat/.webcamrc
v4l2: open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy
v4l2: open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy
v4l: open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy
no grabber device available
Any one has any Ideas? Its just a basic USB webcam which works automaticly in WinXP (no drivers needed).

Hi, Everything works perfect in Windows doesnt it?

To find out what is your camera model you should try to run (with the camera connected and assuming your usb config is up and running):
lsusb

You should get something like this:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:08a6 Logitech, Inc.

So, my camera is Logitech. Model 046d:08a6.

Note that lsusb doesnt normally come as default so you might have to install it.

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0458:002c KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) 
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04fc:0561 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd Flexcam 100
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Furthmore more I did some research about it and it seems that I can make this work using the spca5xx drivers however I dont know how to compile those drivers since I get this error

Code:

Hi,

From your first box with compilation status:

drivers/usb/spca50x.c:61:27: error: linux/wrapper.h: No such file or directory

So, apparently you dont have that header (wrapper.h) file in your source tree.

I am not sure what distribution you are using but I would recommend you to use some package management system for this (and any other) install, unless you like to go really hardcore. Do you use fedora, gentoo, debian, ubuntu, ... ? If so use their package system. It will save you time.

I generally migrate from Distro to Distro every 4-6 months but atm I am using Ubuntu . but it would be helpful to know about a general way to do it in other easy distros (Slackware, Debian SuSE etc.)

EDIT:
This might help:
Code:
tiamat@Mainframe-MK3:~$ locate wrapper.h
/usr/share/doc/libbonoboui2-common/html/libbonoboui-bonobo-wrapper.html
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-386/include/config/ndiswrapper.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-386/include/config/ndiswrapper.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic/include/config/ndiswrapper.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15/include/net/irda/wrapper.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16/include/net/irda/wrapper.h

You need to install the header files that go with your kernel.

On Debian systems (and I would guess Ubuntu is similar) these are available as a package. So long as you are still using the kernel that came with your distro something like

# apt-get install linux-kernel-headers

should fix things up. (Not very familiar with Ubuntu - just assuming it is the same as Debian here).

One of the problems is that people want to try out the distros and then they come into problems of this nature. Every time you change your distro you should adopt their package management system as your new software installation tool. It will make things "easier" but not easy because you still may have problems. And you will need a lot of manual configuration to do and this will take most of your time.

I would recommend this:

Good luck.
