Logitech C270 webcam install.

[mliber]

How do I install? In Ubuntu 12.04. Driving me nuts!
Thanx anybody!

first see if its detected by the computer with:

lsusb

if it is, then see if its working by installing cheese:

sudo apt-get install cheese

Hello I would like to install a Logitech c210 cam. Can anyone guide me through that?

I just went to the Logitech site and it explicitly says the C270 doesn't support Linux:

Sorry about that. I was looking for decent Linux compatible camera too.

I just went to the Logitech site and it explicitly says the C270 doesn't support Linux:

That logitech does not support linux, does not entail that linux does not support logitech cameras.

To the OP: follow the first bit of advice, run cheese from cli, and paste any error output.

That logitech does not support linux, does not entail that linux does not support logitech cameras.

True. I suppose that was a logical fallacy on my part.

Hi you all,
I reckon this is an old post, but still...

I'm looking for a good webcam to be used in an old PC running Lubuntu 12.04 and I'm tempted to buy a C270. I wonder if you could eventually make it work in Ubuntu, despite the Logitech disclaimer.

Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers.

Hi, everybody! My c270 works out-of-the-box in Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
Didn't test the sound yet, but the pic is definitely there. Tested with Skype and cheese.

Thanks for your feedback, shoguevara. It would be great to hear again from you in case you test sound too.

Cheers.
