 |
|
Hi
I'm not able to get my Logitech Quickcam express working on Mandriva 2008 Spring.
I have installed the driver SPCA -and rebooted-without success. From the Control Center I can see that the web cam is recognized by the system but when I open Skype or Kopete I notice that they can't see the device.
Thanks in advance for your help.

This is a USB camera, yes?
If so, what do get when running "lsusb" as root in a terminal?
I get:
| Code: | # lsusb
Bus 006 Device 006: ID 0a5c:2100 Broadcom Corp.
Bus 006 Device 005: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp.
Bus 006 Device 004: ID 10b5:ac70 Comodo (PLX?)
Bus 006 Device 003: ID 046d:08d9 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Connect
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 05e3:0604 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 1.1 Hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 056a:0015 Wacom Co., Ltd

You will notice on Bus 006 Device 003, I have a Logitech QuickCam Connect. I installed it a couple of weeks ago and it took a little fussing around to get working. If the USB system is recognizing the cam, you about 1/3 the way there.
I had to install the gspca driver and load the module:
| Code: | # lsmod |grep gspca
gspca 676048 0
videodev 27104 1 gspca
usbcore 121932 14 snd_usb_audio,usbhid,usb_storage,pl2303,hci_usb,snd_usb_lib,cp2101,gspca,usbserial,wacom,uhci_hcd,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd
|
You'll also need to install dkms-gspcav1 and x11-driver-video-v4l.
You should wind up with the line:
| Code: | | Load "v4l" # Video for Linux |
in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
I wish I could remember more, but it's late and the Vicodin is talking. Try this stuff and let us know.

Thanks for this.
This is what I get with lsusb
| Code: | Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05fe:0011 Chic Technology Corp. Browser Mouse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
|
it looks like the webcam is there....
The dkms-gspcav1 and x11-driver-video-v4l are already installed.
When I type
nothing happens...I think this is because I have 3 days experience with Linux! Where should I type it? I don't think I was able to load the module you are talking about....
I also had a look at the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the line
| Code: | | Load "v4l" # Video for Linux |
is already there.

Right, that's one down.

You should type that in a terminal window as root. It's possible that you aren't getting anything because the module isn't installing, but it could be that you are typing that command as a regular user rather than Root.
Since you've only got a few days experience with this, I'll see if I can't take it step-by-step.
We'll need a terminal so press Alt+F2. That should give you a "Run" dialong. Type "konsole" (without quotes) in the command line and hit Enter. This will open up a terminal window.
In that window, type "su" and hit enter. You will be asked for a password. Enter the password for Root. This gives you root-level permissions. Now type "lsmod |grep gspca" (again, no quotes) and see what you get.
If you still get nothing, there are two possibilities. 1) the gspca module isn't loading, or 2) the gspca module isn't installed.
If you have repositories set up (click this link and scroll down to #6), you should be able to type "urpmi gspca" as root in that terminal window and gspca will install, or you'll get a message that tells you it can't install it because it's already installed.
If it's already installed (or if you install it and it still doesn't show up when you type "lsmod|grep gspca"), then try rebooting just for good measure and lsmod|grep gspca as root in a terminal window.
If you still don't have it, you'll need to install the module by hand.
In that root terminal window, type "modprobe -l | grep gspca" to list all the available modules and identify the gspca module. This should produce a line something like this:
/lib/modules/2.6.24.5-desktop-2mnb/dkms/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko.gz
Given this information, you would install the module with this command:
| Code: | | modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.24.5-desktop-2mnb/dkms/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko.gz |
After all this, you may have to log out and log back in for anything to change. Since v4l is already installed, go do the stuff I describe above to get the gspca module loaded and get back with us about whether or not it's working.
Good luck.

Ah right, it takes a kernel.
If I recall correctly, you just install the appropriate kernel for your installation. If you're unsure just run "uname -r" as root. You should find that one of the gspca kernels above matches what you are running now. Install it and install the "dkms-gspcav1" package.
That should make the module available and insert it. You may have to reboot, you may have to insert the module manually. See previous message for all that stuff.
Sorry about the confusion. I've slept since I did this on my system. 
Mark

See the message I just wrote to jqball. I erred when I glossed over the fact that to get the gspca module, you need to install a kernel package. I totally spaced that part.

Okay, right here you need to run "uname -r" as root and see which kernel you are running. Install the package above that most closely matches the kernel you are running. Also install the "dkms-gspcav1" package.
I like to keep up with the latest kernel builds, so I have kernel-desktop586-latest installed as my kernel. It automatically updates and as of now I am running 2.6.24.5-desktop-2mnb. Therefore, I installed gspca-kernel-desktop586-latest and it has installed the appropriate gspca-kernel module for my kernel.
As a side note, you can also do this from rpmdrake. Either run "rpmdrake" at a terminal or from the Mandrake Control Center.

Not to worry. It's just failing because the module isn't installed. Install the right gspca-kernel and the dkms-gcpcav1 package and try it again.

@Mark --> Does installing dkms-gspcav1 install the needed devel-latest packages automatically? I don't have a cam with me atm.
@Francesco -->You can see if GSPCA loads properly by pressing escape during boot "verbose mode". Also my cam turns on (blue light) during boot.
For me gspca has always worked with no hassle, as long as I've made sure, that the the devel-latest package for the kernel is installed.
If you haven't checked if it's installed:
To see which kernel you're using type "uname -r" in a terminal. Remember the version and check in the software installer if the matching devel-latest package is installed
OR
As an alternative, this line in a teminal as root, should also install the correct devel-latest package for your kernel, if it's not already installed.
| Code: | | urpmi kernel-`uname -r | cut -d- -f2`-devel-latest |
EDIT: It seems Mark managed to make 2 posts while I was making this one. So the info in this reply is basically about the same thing.

ok, I did
| Code: |
[francesco@localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb |
so from the control center==> software management I have
| Quote: | | dkms-gspcav1 - DKMS-ready driver for spca5xx webcams |
and
| Quote: | gspca-kernel-2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb - gspca driver for kernel 2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb
|
already installed...should i remove them and reinstall them? _very "windows like" mindset isn't it?_

Sha, you know vhat? I don't remember. I notice that I do have kernel-desktop-devel-latest installed as well. And there's no telling when I installed it.

No.
And read all the stuff that's showing up in this thread. Despite the fact that rpm takes care of dependencies, there is some uncertainty as to what has to be installed to get this to work.
Nevertheless, I assure you it works. I got mine working.

Like Mark says, don't uninstall them. It's all well. It's just that the devel-latest package doesn't get installed automatically.
So-->
Installing kernel-desktop-devel-latest (and kernel-desktop-latest) in configure your computer, should be all that's needed because dkms-gspca1 is already installed. (I can't check the names atm, I'm in that damn Windows, but I think that's the correct names). But the line in my previous post should install the correct devel-latest also.
A reboot will be required. Verbose mode can tell if it loads properly.
Also one of these apps offer an easy way to test the webcam: Cheese or Camorama.

Quick note about testing the webcam. There are a number of ways to do it, but the quickest/easiest for me was to open up Kopete and Rt. click on the Kopete icon in the system tray, then click on "Configure...".
If the cam is working, the green tally light on the cam will flicker and a window will open up on your display. If the cam is working, you will see a choppy, low res video feed of whatever the cam is facing. This *should* happen without any configuration, but your mileage may vary.
Just wanted to get that in there.
Mark

The "urpmi: command not found" tells me you may not be doing this as root.
Are you running these commands as root?

Yeah mark, what a mess. LOL
I'll let you take is from here. And no he's not root in that command. type "su" and enter your password before running the line.

Please stay tuned -- Between the Vicodin and the housework I'm liable to whip out some really bad advice any minute now.

Well, the Mandriva forum seems to offer some super fast reply's Mark. So fast that we are crossing posts.
Anyway, with the devel-latest kernel package installed it should work.
And oh... Kopete has a webcam feature now? I didn't even know that. It's been a while since I've used it. Thanks for letting me know.

guys
I did the urpmi kernel and it has installed two packages.
after reboot I followed this procedure
| Quote: |
If you have repositories set up (click this link and scroll down to #6), you should be able to type "urpmi gspca" as root in that terminal window and gspca will install, or you'll get a message that tells you it can't install it because it's already installed.
If it's already installed (or if you install it and it still doesn't show up when you type "lsmod|grep gspca"), then try rebooting just for good measure and lsmod|grep gspca as root in a terminal window.
If you still don't have it, you'll need to install the module by hand.
In that root terminal window, type "modprobe -l | grep gspca" to list all the available modules and identify the gspca module. This should produce a line something like this:
/lib/modules/2.6.24.5-desktop-2mnb/dkms/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko.gz
Given this information, you would install the module with this command:
Code:
modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.24.5-desktop-2mnb/dkms/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko.gz |
and it is still giving the same error...
| Quote: | | FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.24.4_desktop_3mnb/dkms_binary/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko.gz not found. |
sorry if this is getting so annoying... |

Anyway, with the devel-latest kernel package installed it should work.

No problem, I think you're getting close.
Show us the output of:
| Code: | | modprobe -l | grep gspca |
and
Remember to run as root.

ok
| Code: |
[root@localhost francesco]# modprobe -l | grep gspca
/lib/modules/2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb/dkms-binary/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko.gz
[root@localhost francesco]# uname -r
2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb |

Okay. Now as root, do:
| Code: | | modeprobe /lib/modules/2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb/dkms-binary/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko.gz |
Please note: compare the module you initially tried to install and failed with the module your system finds in its listing:
Failed: /lib/modules/2.6.24.4_desktop_3mnb/dkms_binary/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko.gz
Found: /lib/modules/2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb/dkms-binary/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko.gz
The difference between an underscore (_) and a dash (-) is subtle, but real.
