Webcam - me too, me too

Posted by gregster on 21 Dec 2006 in Activity log
Further to this, the app-on-linux thing is the result of Skype not having video capability on linux yet. They're working on it apparently. The driver was relatively straightforward, although it wasn't installed in Ubuntu by default. I had to pull the UVC driver source from svn, build the module and insert it into the running kernel, like this:
  1. $ svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/linux-uvc/
  2. $ cd linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk
  3. $ make
  4. $ sudo make install
Once done, Ekiga works well, although the image is much smaller than the one that Martin gets on Windows. I'd like to try this again on a video-capable SIP client like wengo.
