modprobe: command not found

sutley · 07-29-2005, 04:36 PM

I'm trying to get my Creative NX Pro Webcam working. I am having some problems with modprobe (and a few others). What did I screw up this time? Is there a fix?

Code:

[root@localhost user]# modprobe videodev
bash: modprobe: command not found

Code:

[root@localhost user]# lsmod videodev
bash: lsmod: command not found

Thanks
Sam

Try typing

Code:

su -

then re-enter your commands.

Or put the full path to them:

/sbin/<command>
/usr/sbin/<command>

Wherever the command resides. And if you are using su, look into using sudo instead, more secure as you don't have to use root's password directly.

Try this way

Code:

[root@localhost user]# sbin/modprobe videodev

Code:

[root@localhost user]# sbin/lsmod videodev

As you can see add "sbin"
