iSight

[NielsAMD]

Hello,

I have had some trouble getting the iSight of my macbook to work on my Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty OS.
When i try to use the i sight firmware extractor tool, it cant find the firmware file.
I followed these instructions:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook3-1/Jaunty

Can someone help me?

Thanks,
Niels

Try this:

mount your Mac-HDD (in your GNOME-panel, you find it clicking "Places").

Open a terminal and type in:
cd /media
ls
there you should see the Mac-partition now.

The firmfare is on this partition in folder
/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleUSBVideoSupportWell, if you start up isight-firmware-tools, it asks you where the firmware is, and it suggest the path
/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleUSBVideoSupportand here's the trick:
as the Mac-partition is mounted to /media/MAC (where MAC is the name of your mac-hd)
you need to modify the path like this:
/media/MAC/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleUSBVideoSupportshould work then....
