FC4 and Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 installation

[himanshu_mps]

Hello,

I am a newbie to linux. I am having a hard time to find the installation for my webcam. Can someone help me out in installing this on my m/c. The configuration of my m/c is Sony VAIO FS742W. Please help me out.

I am getting this error while installing:

Testing if is correct.
ls: : No such file or directory
./quickcam.sh: line 699: [: too many arguments
ls: : No such file or directory
ls: : No such file or directory
[!] major number is .
Usually it should be 81, so there are problems ahead.

Any Ideas ?

Your camera works with the pwc (Philips WebCam) driver. Replace the FC4 kernal PWC module by installing the latest module from:

http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/

Following are some instructions to install copied from the driver website:

1) download the file http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/fi...10.0.9.tar.bz2
(or the last available file on the site)
2) unpack the file using the command command:
# tar xjf pwc-10.0.9.tar.bz2
3) compile the module (this needs the source of your actual kernel to
be installed)
# cd pwc-10.0.9
# make
4) login as root
# su
5) In case an older version of the module was already installed, use
the following commands to delete that module, if not go to 6)
# find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name "pwc*.ko*"
# rm <name of the file.ko>
6) Copy the new modules to the old ones
# make install
or
# cp pwc.ko <path to the folder of original pwc.ko module>
For example: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/{misc,extra}
# depmod -a
7) Unload the old module(s) or reboot the machine
# rmmod pwc
# rmmod pwcx
# modprobe pwc

That worked....Thanks a ton.

I've followed the instructions xblx provided (Thanks for those, btw) and I now get images from my Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 in camstream, but only in black and white. The "Contrast" slider in the video options is also disabled. Should I be able to capture colour images?

Hello,

I'm using Fedora Core 5 and I have a Webcam Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000.

I'm trying install the driver, but it's not working.

I'm using pwc-10.0.12-rc1 .

See the messages, please:
# rmmod pwc
ERROR: Module pwc does not exist in /proc/modules

# rmmod pwcx
ERROR: Module pwcx does not exist in /proc/modules

# modprobe pwc
FATAL: Error inserting pwc (/lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2174_FC5/kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

# dmesg
...
pwc: Unknown parameter `index'
"

How your modprobe.conf looks regards pwc, please?

Any ideas, please?


TIA,
Vinicius.

I'd be glad to help if I could but, serial distro installer that I am, I don't run FC any more. Sorry...
