Someone pls answer

[farlo144]

I've got the same exact problem. I'm on a 64 bit Intrepid. I'm trying to use the "Philips SPC 700 NC" Webcam.

[phoenix_abhi]

lsmod shows a little more now


abhi@phoenixabhi:~$ lsmod | grep video
video 28948 0
output 11776 1 video

v4l1_compat 24580 1 videodev

FYI. From what I've found, we're both trying to build easycam2 on Intrepid, which just doesn't work. The "Official" easycam2 ubuntu page instructs to get 8.04 .deb files... so it's no wonder why they don't work on 8.10.

Apparently our webcams should work right out of the box, but something broke between 8.04 and 8.10. Meaning, we shouldn't have to compile easycam2...

The link below is a good starting point for finding links to a plethora of other similar bugs - webcams don't work on 8.10.

Hey man, I got this sorted out. Download the following:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/archive/tip.tar.bz2

Untar it:
tar xjvf tip.tar.bz2

Build it:
make

Install it:
sudo make install

Reboot, and you should be good to go. If not, read up in the following link:

Can u explain more about the installation procedure ? I was used to windows way. How to Untar, Build and Install
