Looking for a Webcam

[psb154]

Raafi,

Not sure what you mean:
"...i also downloaded teamspeak, but i cant find teamspeak"

[Raafi]

i installed teamspeak, followed thru the commands, at the end ./setup.sh, it did whatever it did, make, make install

and after all is said and done, i cant bring it up, looked thru the applications directory of gnome, it aint there

i did a whereis teamspeak and nothing, zilch, nada

so i have it here somwhere, but i cant find it

i got gnomemeeting working, i just dont have anyone to call, but at least it showed me my webcam is working, and i also got this skype, which i am playing with now

Raafi,

From a command prompt, login as: su
then type:
find / -name teamspeak
or
find / -name team*

This will search your entire file system for any file or directory with the name: teamspeak

[Raafi]

o darn

i guess it doesnt go by the name "teamspeak"

[root@localhost ~]# find / -name team*
/home/fc3/Desktop/Downloads/ts2_client_rc2_2032/setup.data/image/manual/teamspeak.gif

just a gif

i am going to register at the teamspeak forum and see if i can find anything there

Hi,

I have creative nx webcam and it is not supported by spca5xx, but it should work with zc030x module. When I try to run any software for video whole system freezes. Before I modprobe the module ofcourse.

Any ideas why?

It has supported every web cam I have thrown at it so far. Excellent.

To see if your USB camera is seen by the operating system type:
/sbin/lsusb

Halleighluia and G-d bless for this. The README file was straightforward, the directions a little daunting if you're not comfortable doing anything with drivers and make. However for my Logitech Quickcam Chat (0x046d:0x092c) it worked perfectly and GnomeMeeting finally showed my ugly mug back to me. I bought a couple of these cams cheap for my wife and I as a celebration and it would suck mightily to have to keep booting into WinXP just to use it.

It's this kind of thing that makes me stick with Fedora over other distros. The sheer volume of fellow user support.

teamspeak installs by default to /home/<user>/TeamSpeak2RC2

there is an sh file in there named TeamSpeak, click and run. unfortunatley thats as far as i can get. it wont recognize my mic. even though the mic works fine through the mixer.

Pery,

Have you tried the latest driver from:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html

because I can see 'Creative nx' in the list of supported cameras.

Suitepotato,

Michel Xharrd is the author of the driver. You can find his e-mail address on the same web page, under the ABOUT link. I have e-mailed him more than once to say 'thank you' for his excellent work. If you get a chance I would encourage you to do the same. Really friendly bloke :-)

now after i get my webcam working, what does one do in the linux world with my now working webcamwhen most of the world using windows? yahoo messener? msn messenger? paltalk?

can teamspeak or gnomemeeting be used with any other program than their own?
