Thanks for that, it did
help. It just needed the options looking at but the Skype didn't
tell me where that was. I clicked and right clicked until I found
it. As the mic worked straight away I assumed the cam, as it was
listed as to working with windows vista and how to do that, would
need a special driver. However it is excellent and even has built
in 6 LED lights all for under £6 inc delivery from Amazon! Thanks again. Anyone wanting to use my skype, my name for Skype is "plumpeace" Life, love, peace and freedom Pete (Le M) On 22/04/11 12:36, Dan Dart wrote: Try: mplayer tv:// If that works (mine did) then the cam just needs v4l1 libraries loaded on start of skype (which I had to do). I have a gspca3xx and that's the only way it'll work with skype.

I have just installed Skype (amazingly easy!) and have bought a (cheap) mic and webcam. It says it is for Skype but it is obviously made to be recognised by Windows. The mic works perfectly and is plugged into the sound card but the cam is into USB port. How do I get my Linux (Ubunto) to recognise or find the cam (I would have thought a cam would go into a graphics/video card!?) or how to find a driver. It may be impossible but it would be nice if it would work: at least the mic works excellently. It is called a TRIXES Webcam and has numbers which may only be order numbers X0000ESUWH : WEBCAM: 5060188010937Never heard of that brand.. lsusb might give some info though. Generally webcams are usb, and would generally show up as /dev/video* (video0 for first cam etc).. Skype should generally "just work" with it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk2xYeEACgkQz3Av8JKgzxQpNQCdFfYLYLyHGRBfjRNzFMqXiuU/ ObQAoKrWhZOVQDiWg58iKcvS570bh/Wc =Y00g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq |
