Logitech Camera @ Suse 10.3

[gatekeeper]

I don't know how to make my camera to work under Suse. I have installed "quickcam-kmp-default" so far through Yast. What else should I do? I have not found on the internet some descent resource which works. Also, my preference is to do most parts through Yast.

We need more information. Why isn't or how isn't the camera working, you are connecting by usb aren't you ? What program are you trying to import photo's with digikam etc. Any errors that you see or have ?

It is connected through USB. It is not recognised through Digicam. Also, I dont see it at Kopete.

So does your /etc/fstab have this line in it

usbfs                /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      noauto                0 0

If it does and it is still not working for you then please try this entry in /etc/fstab and let me know how it goes for you.

 /dev/sdc1   /media/storage usbfs   defaults   0   0

With camera attached as root

mount -a
df -h

I had to upgrade the kernel and after the upgrade, the OS recognised the camera correctly. But since you mention it, now my fstab has the following entry:

usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0

For the time being the problem of recognizing the camera is solved. Thanks

I will see now what can i do to use it for telephony and stuff like that. (eg. with skype)
