Greetings all,
I'm having no luck with my webcam situation.
I have an "Xirlink, Inc. IBM NetCamera" I'd like to use. It's the only webcam I have currently and I'm running Ubuntu Studio v8.04-(Hardy Heron). My webcam isn't recognized at all and I'm completely lost here. I'm learning Ubuntu as we go, although I can find my way around somewhat already. Going on two "looooong days" of research with this project prior to this posting and gotten nowhere yet.
I've installed "Cheese" and "Camera Monitor" just to see if the system would recognize it, but no luck. Otherwise, I haven't installed anything else and I'm sure I need to find a driver to install for it as well. I have the latest Kernel update which is version 2.6.24-23-rt .
The USB list output is as follows: (webcam in red)
If anyone can help me figure this out and get it working it would be greatly appreciated.Code:XXXXXXXXXX@ubuntu:~$ lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0545:8002 Xirlink, Inc.

For anyone interested in the correct software and driver pkg to work correctly on a Windows XP 32bit system for the IBM PC Camera, NetCamera, or NetCameraPro, you can dwnld and install the file listed at DriverGuide.com labeled *XirlinkWinXP.exe here. This file was updated by IBM. This is not a hacked file. You'll need to register an account there to dwnld any files, which only requires an email account and a screen name.
*Clean file -- no viri found at time of dwnld using latest free version of Avast AV for Windows.
Free Linux version of Avast AV is available also.
