Pa-post ng output ng
lsusb. Pag nakita mo yung line don ng webcam mo, you might want to google that.

[killer_d76]

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.

[killer_d76]

okey here's what i got with lsusb..

this is for mandriva, but should work on ubuntu.

http://blog.zerodogg.org/2008/04/27/microdia-0c45624f-webcam-on-linux/

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

[loell]

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.. :(

[loell]

oops, sorry, it is supposed to be ubuntu-dev-tools not ubuntu-dev.

install that and do the compiling, the ctag error might go away now this time.

[killer_d76]

redid the whole thing..

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-dev-tools

then


sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags

tapos..

git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git

cd microdia

make

sudo insmod ./microdia.ko

here's the error now.


arvin@arvin-laptop:~/microdia$ sudo insmod ./microdia.ko
insmod: error inserting './microdia.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

[loell]

from the blog article, there was a specific comment for 8.04 x86_64



On my x86_64 Ubuntu 8.04 system I had to do the following:

$ sudo modprobe videodev
$ sudo modprobe compat_ioctl32
$ sudo insmod ./microdia.ko

The compat_ioctl32 module is not needed on a 32-bit system.

An alternative is to install the microdia module into the kernel module path “manually” (because there is no “make install” yet) as follows:

$ sudo install -d /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
$ sudo install microdia.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
$ sudo depmod -a

Then to load the module all you need to do is:

$ sudo modprobe microdia

In fact the module should then be autoloaded when the webcam is plugged in, or if the webcam is built-in, following a reboot.


try those steps.

[killer_d76]

thanks loel, i'll try those steps later.. hehehe papasok na kasi ako eh.. di pa'ko naliligo hehehe... :)

[killer_d76]

still getting errors here

still getting errors here

are you sure you're in the directory where microdia.ko file is present?

[killer_d76]

this is the file right?

http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=92999&d=1226926162

[loell]

yeah, from that screenshot, you should navigate first to that directory


cd /home/arvin/microdia

then do the previous commands, load / install modules etc..

[killer_d76]

:confused: sorry loell could you clarify that a bit?.. medyo slow po ako ngayon eh hehehe[-o<

[loell]

the following commands are



cd /home/arvin/microdia

$ sudo install -d /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
$ sudo install microdia.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
$ sudo depmod -a

Then to load the module all you need to do is:

$ sudo modprobe microdia

[killer_d76]

WWOOOHHHOOO!!!... it worked Loell! :guitar::guitar::guitar:.. although the picture/video is inverted!.. (that's my daughter sitting on my shoulder!)... i still owe you my soul right?.. :lolflag:

http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=93003&d=1226928413

[loell]

you seem happy with the inversion. :) this is hardy, right?

[killer_d76]

i'm using intrepid ibex.. that's why the colors and the icons are still default, i have just installed it a few days ago!.. is there a way to fix the inverted video output?.. ;)

[loell]

actually, looking at the screenshot, it looks like you enable the "edge" effect in cheese? look at the the effects and check.

[azumi]

hello, i try install webcam driver on this laptop https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/CompalHEL80 and same webcamera Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0c45:624f Microdia PC Camera (SN9C201), i follow this steps here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Lenovo3000N100_0768 to install it, but function is only in mplayer .. with cheese its bad :( error - attached screenshot ... should some one help me with it ...




Microdia webcam kernel driver project

There is a Microdia project working on an Open Source driver by reverse engeneering (usb sniffing mainly) and some little documentation.
The project has a google group : http://groups.google.com/group/microdia and a launchpad PPA : https://launchpad.net/~nickel62metal/+archive.

You can add:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nickel62metal/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nickel62metal/ubuntu intrepid main

And then install by:
sudo apt-get install microdia-dkms

You can follow the development via git-web : http://repo.or.cz/w/microdia.git

If you want to test the driver (still in development, use at your own risks):

You need to install git first:
sudo apt-get install git-core gitk git-gui git-doc curl

Then clone the "microdia" repository:
git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git

Then build the driver:
cd microdia
make

Now load some necessary modules before the microdia driver:
sudo modprobe videodev
sudo modprobe compat-ioctl32

Finally, load the microdia driver (rmmod to unload it):
sudo insmod microdia.ko

You can test the webcam with Ekiga, or mplayer:
mplayer -fps 30 tv://

Do the following so you don't have to insmod everytime you wish to use your webcam after a restart:
sudo cp microdia.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/
sudo depmod -a

[killer_d76]

actually, looking at the screenshot, it looks like you enable the "edge" effect in cheese? look at the the effects and check.

...even on ekiga, video output is inverted? :confused:

http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=93125&d=1227007143

[killer_d76]

@azumi - i have tested my webcam with cheese and ekiga and the procedures posted here (by Loell) did fixed my webcam issue, though i haven't tried it on MPlayer or VLC yet, though it did not work with Camorama as well.

[loell]

...even on ekiga, video output is inverted? :confused:


i see, oh well, just try a monthly git of the latest source, perhaps the driver will improve, also try to get in touch with the developer(s) in the google group mailing list (as posted above) , i'm certain they would love some feedback of their driver. hopefully, in that way they can improve it in a more faster pace.

[dealen]

i still have problem i did all you said. And i m stuck here this codes

Dear after one year i get how install and use the microdia webcam.
I hope now that this can help others.
I did a lsusb and i get

Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0c45:624f Microdia PC Camera (SN9C201)
I have ubuntu 8.10 64 bit but same for 32 i guess.
so before you have to check:

uname -r
See the kernel version and install Install linux-headers with the same version as your kernel from synaptic or from terminal with apt-get install kernel-package linux-headers build-essential.
git have to be installed
The step by step guide from Terminal:


git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git

cd microdia

make
do not care to the error 127

sudo modprobe videodev

sudo modprobe compat-ioctl32

sudo insmod microdia.ko

Now check if from ekiga works.
For who needs skype work with the webcam you need preload the 32 library so install from syaptic v4l2:
then the command is in my case :

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/bin/skype


to let this driver charged at start up

strip -g microdia.ko

sudo cp microdia.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/

sudo depmod -a
then entire guide also for other microdia webcams is http://groups.google.com/group/microdia?hl=en

dealen@dealen-desktop:~/microdia$ sudo insmod ./microdia.ko
insmod: error inserting './microdia.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module


do a reinstall of the linux image

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-`uname -r`

it worked for me :) try it!

[localj]

Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit here.

lsusb produces:
0c45:624f Microdia PC Camera (SN9C201)

Added the source:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nickel62metal/ubuntu jaunty main

Installed by:
sudo apt-get install microdia-dkms

And now Skype work perfectly for video.

Of course the question is how do I get the microphone to work :D

[bladerunnerfast]

how do i undo the invert?

[bladerunnerfast]

I'm on 9.04 32bits here and this totally worked! :P

dude ive done what you wrote and my don't work at all

[bladerunnerfast]

from the blog article, there was a specific comment for 8.04 x86_64



try those steps.

when i tryed this git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git
i got was it didnt understand the command?

[killer_d76]

bladerunnerfast: could you post the result of
lsusb if you type it on the terminal?

because if you found Microdia PC Camera (SN9C201) from the result...

using this process should fix the issue...

Add this on your software source:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nickel62metal/ubuntu jaunty main

Install microdia dkms by typing

sudo apt-get install microdia-dkms


oh and don't forget to install "cheese" to test if your camera is working...

sudo apt-get install cheese

[aljoriz]

This is my 1st post but I'd like to offer some help.

For driver sa cam try google easy cam install that for no headaches.

Now if your cam works on cheese or ekiga but not skype kindly do the following at the terminal
$ sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/skype
write your password as root
then copy paste this to the window na lalabas
******
#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
******
DI KASAMA YUNG *

after saving go back to terminal
$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/skype

hope this helped pare

[killer_d76]

thanks aljoris!.. works perfect on my Neo Laptop running CrunchBang!

[killer_d76]

recently upgraded to 10.04 and cheese detected my webcam out of the box!... but when I use Skype it was not working?... can someone help me?

[killer_d76]

recently upgraded to 10.04 and cheese detected my webcam out of the box!... but when I use Skype it was not working?... can someone help me?

guess what?... I just fixed the issue with these codes!

$ sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/skype

add this:
#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/bin/skype

then:

$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/skype


that's it!

[afrodeity]

Oneiric places libv4 in a different directory for some reason



#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l2convert.so.0 /usr/bin/skype

[jonhen]

Thanks very much afrodeity (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=626266) that fixed my problem, couldn't find where libv4 was installed to. :)

Also found that you need to add bash -c '<command>' with a couple of minor tweaks to the command when putting it in a launcher thus:


bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype'
