There is some mention of drivers in other forums but no links to the files. Also I am a novice user, some of the suggested solutions seemed too technical for me. Is there and easy way to fix this or do I need to buy another camera? Is so what should I buy so that it will plug in and work without any hassle? Thanks for any help.
Although Cheese has its share of bugs, it usually works with most webcams- have you tried installing/using it?
Code:
sudo apt-get install cheese
