Hey!

I've used this thread to get my motion eye up and runnig - it work! Thanks

It also runs with interpid ibex on ubuntu and kubuntu 4.2.

There is just one problem i would like to get solved. When I start my desktop and I want to launch skype the camera isn't visible. When I want to test it with:

 xawtv /dev/video0

it sais that I dont have permission. So I've got a work around

sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0

then everything works fine. Is there a way to get it work with not changing the permission to /dev/video0 to 777 ?

[paco85]

i'm new and i've went off everybody else to get my cam to work.... but now I get a message like the following.....

[epvipas]

 $ sudo gpasswd -a yourusername video

That should sort out the permissions.

I'm probably being thick but I have followed everything here to the letter and I still get:

alan@vaio:~/r5u870$ xawtv

HELP - how do I uninstall all of this and start again or can it be rescued?

Oh this may be helpful

Any ideas guys - also I cannot get anything out of the built-in mic.....I have checked the Volume control....

[Clockmender]

In the absence of any help here I went to:


http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html

and downloading the 0.11.2 driver - I got error messages in the Make process but it works with xawtv - still problems with the mic however. Picture detail is good, colour is good but my mug is not! oh well - the vagaries of Anno Domini

The cam works now but I'm still having problems with the mic.......

[Mr Goode]

Thanks alot for this!! I had given up on getting the motioneye working, but now it works! Im very happy!

[Mr Goode]

Hello again, my web cam was working perfectly but all of a sudden the picture turned upside down. And now its like that all the time.
I have reinstalled it but the picture is still upside down!
Anybody know how to fix this??
Being upside down I kind of look like spiderman, but its getting very tiresome, please help!
