Pa-post ng output ng

lsusb

. Pag nakita mo yung line don ng webcam mo, you might want to google that.

thanks for the quick reply bro, sige i'll post it later.. dito pa kasi ako sa work ngayon eh hehehe.. but i did tried googling around for a couple of hours last night, downloaded and tested a few .deb but still no luck.

i found this one http://www.linuxsoft.cz/en/sw_detail.php?id_item=8781 just now perhaps i'll give this one a try!

Yeah. Important na alam mo yung lsusb mo para alam mo yung parang "generic name" ng webcam mo. With that name, mas madali mong mahahanap ang driver.

okey here's what i got with lsusb..

this is for mandriva, but should work on ubuntu.

you might be needing these packages before compiling,

sudo apt-get install git ubuntu-dev

[killer_d76]

thanks mga bossing!.. i'll just add it up here for others to see na din!

git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git
cd microdia
make
sudo insmod ./microdia.ko

will this work on 32 and 64 bit as well?

[killer_d76]

got some error..

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic'
make: ctags: Command not found
make: *** [ctags] Error 127
arvin@arvin-laptop:~/microdia$ sudo insmod ./microdia.ko
insmod: error inserting './microdia.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

hmm, maybe install

exuberant-ctags then redo the compilation.

[killer_d76]

still getting some errors..
here's what happened when i typed:

sudo apt-get install git ubuntu-dev

arvin@arvin-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install git ubuntu-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
git is already the newest version.
E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-dev

so i did

sudo apt-get install git

install exuberant-ctags

sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags

still got some errors..
