uvcvideo module not loaded
Hi,
When I start lubuntu my webcam will not work in cheese or skype. To fix the problem I need to load the uvcvideo module like this:
Code:
sudo modprobe uvcvideo
Now everything works perfectly.
Where can I add uvcvideo to the list of modules that should load on start-up, and why is it not loaded automaticly? I think a USB device should be automaticly detected. I want it to work for all users.
This is my webcam

BUMP
Also I found out that the driver is first loaded then unloaded. I am using the Samsung mini computer in my signature below.

The problem was solved using "samsung-tools" to turn on the webcam.
