Thanx anybody!

Re: Logitech C270 webcam install.

first see if its detected by the computer with:

if it is, then see if its working by installing cheese:

Re: Logitech C270 webcam install.

Hello I would like to install a Logitech c210 cam. Can anyone guide me through that?

Re: Logitech C270 webcam install.

I just went to the Logitech site and it explicitly says the C270 doesn’t support Linux:

Sorry about that. I was looking for decent Linux compatible camera too.

Re: Logitech C270 webcam install.

That logitech does not support linux, does not entail that linux does not support logitech cameras.

To the OP: follow the first bit of advice, run cheese from cli, and paste any error output.

Re: Logitech C270 webcam install.

True. I suppose that was a logical fallacy on my part.

Re: Logitech C270 webcam install.

Hi you all,
I reckon this is an old post, but still.

I’m looking for a good webcam to be used in an old PC running Lubuntu 12.04 and I’m tempted to buy a C270. I wonder if you could eventually make it work in Ubuntu, despite the Logitech disclaimer.

Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers.

Re: Logitech C270 webcam install.

Hi, everybody! My c270 works out-of-the-box in Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
Didn’t test the sound yet, but the pic is definitely there. Tested with Skype and cheese.

HOWTO: logitech, labtec webcams with qc-usb driver

This is a HOWTO guide to install the logitech webcam drivers from this
sourceforge project http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/

==Quick n Dirty guide for the brave==

#kernel headers, compilers and v4l1 for gnome

==Checking you have the right webcam==

you can do this with the command:

Which should give you a couple of lines, one looking like this:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express

According to the website:

There are other links on the page to check out if your camera ID is different. Also there are some other threads on the forums that concern another driver which might work for you if this one doesn’t here and here.

Ok before you can install the driver you need these things and I
describe how to get them next:

• kernel headers for your kerne
• compilers to. compile
• video for linux ver 1 interface if you want to use gnomemeeting

==Installing Kernel Headers==

Ok if you know how to do this, or have them installed, skip to the next
section.

To make sure they are there:

To install them:

*the synaptic way*

Type «uname -r» in a terminal

Then go into synaptic and type «headers»

Grab the package labeled «linux-headers-2.6.10-5-***» that matches your
machine. I don’t think it hurts to grab others if you need them.

This is a series of compilers your ubuntu distro doesn’t come with by default, but are used to make programs from source.

OR search synaptic for «build-essential»

==Installing video for linux ver 1==

Ubuntu comes with V4L2, but that won’t work for gnomemeeting with this driver.

OR search synaptic for «v4l» and tick ’em.

==Installing the Driver==

Now that you have the prerequisites go to the quickcam express driver sourceforge page:

Download the qc-usb package to your home folder (

(N.B. the driver might update in the course of this HOWTO being on the
forums, check the page to make sure.)

uncompress the package:

enter the folder:

Now the script in the folder doesn’t understand sudo, so we have to
become root.

Now run the script, accepting the defaults should be ok, read what
it says, it may give errors, but soldier on because it worked anyway for
me (that said, have you backed up your files?):

Open gnomemeeting, make sure you select v4l and not v4l2 in setup. Should be working. My Labtec cam (which registers as a logitech) is washed out and shifted to the yellow/red side of the spectrum, other cameras should not be, if anyone has a fix for this problem, post it here.

Camera works on reboot without adding «quickcam» to /etc/modules, so you are done. Hope this helps people, I will check in on the guide to correct any typos etc.

Re: HOWTO: logitech, labtec webcams with qc-usb driver

I love you.

Cheers man. Now all I have to do is find people to chat with, lol

Re: HOWTO: logitech, labtec webcams with qc-usb driver

ok
iam using qc-usb-messenger-0.8
but i follow these steps
everything went fine.. but got missing gcc.
this error

./quickcam.sh
.
Warning: gcc missing

i installed gcc-3.4
and 4.0 is already installed i think by defult
(Ubuntu 5.10 ‘Breezy Badger’)
(kernel-2.6.12-9-386)

what else is missing ?

Re: HOWTO: logitech, labtec webcams with qc-usb driver

Ok I get to the end of the installer and it says

Now I finally will try to load the module.
If you’re unlucky, your computer might crash right now.
Consider long if you really want to continue.
Press Ctrl+C to quit, Enter to continue —>

You decided to do it, here we go.
=== Leaving root mode ===
The driver detected the following supported cameras:
[!] No cameras detected.
Try unloading and reloading the driver manually with
rmmod quickcam; insmod ./quickcam.ko debug=-1
and then checking whether there are any messages indicating
problems with command
dmesg
WARNING: If you press Enter, I’ll try to continue anyway,
but this probably will fail. You SHOULD press Ctrl+C now.

so then I tried the 2 commands it showed

/Desktop/qc-usb-0.6.3$ rmmod quickcam; insmod ./quickcam.ko debug=-1
insmod: error inserting ‘./quickcam.ko’: -1 Operation not permitted
k—@M——-:

/Desktop/qc-usb-0.6.3$ dmesg
[4297560.236000] usbcore: registered new driver quickcam

[4297699.500000] usbcore: deregistering driver quickcam

Any idea what this is about? I have a Logitech Quickcam Messenger but I got the special driver for it that was moddified from the other Logitech webcams because it’s supposed to be slightly different. Also I see a camera in the Device Manager so it shows up but it’s not registering with the driver Any thoughts/help would be appreciated ^_^

СВЕТ, КАМЕРА, СЪЕМКА

Благодаря приложению Logitech Capture процесс создания контента с помощью веб-камеры становится простым, быстрым и исключительно удобным.

ВСЕ В ОДНОМ ДЛЯ УДОБСТВА СОЗДАНИЯ КОНТЕНТА

Подключить камеру, начать запись и обеспечить передачу стало просто как никогда. Запись видео высокого качества начинается сразу же после подключения новой веб-камеры. ПО Logitech Capture позволяет без труда рассказать всему миру о своем увлечении.

ПО позволяет вести прямые трансляции. Чтобы начать трансляцию, достаточно лишь добавить Logitech Capture в качестве источника записи на любой платформе потокового вещания.1

ПОДРОБНЕЕ

НАЛОЖЕНИЕ ТЕКСТА В ПРЯМОМ ЭФИРЕ

Теперь видеоряд можно без труда дополнить текстом, выбрав наиболее подходящий вариант из множества шрифтовых стилей, цветов и предварительно заданных настроек фона.

ПОДРОБНЕЕ

ЭЛЕМЕНТЫ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ СТУДИЙНОГО УРОВНЯ

Множество элементов управления позволяют выполнять макетирование, работать с эффектами перехода, а также настраивать отображение видеоматериалов по своему желанию.

ПОДРОБНЕЕ

НАСТРОЙКА КАМЕРЫ

ПО Logitech Capture позволяет не только отрегулировать параметры работы веб-камеры, но и сохранить до шести профилей настроек.

НАЛОЖЕНИЕ ТЕКСТА В ПРЯМОМ ЭФИРЕ

Благодаря функции наложения текста в прямом эфире любой сюжет можно превратить в уникальное произведение искусства. Множество шрифтовых стилей, цветов и настроек позволяют оформить отображаемое имя и адресованные зрителям сообщения так, чтобы они смотрелись максимально эффектно.

ЭЛЕМЕНТЫ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ СТУДИЙНОГО УРОВНЯ

Оперативно применяя фильтры, переходы и границы, можно сделать уникальным любой видеоматериал, а эффективные инструменты, например Chroma Key, дают возможность создать идеальный образ, удалив фон. Пользователь также может выбрать режим работы, соответствующий уровню освещенности места, где осуществляется съемка («Светлый» или «Темный»).

НАСТРОЙКА КАМЕРЫ

Пользователь имеет возможность выбрать поле обзора, соотношение сторон и разрешение для записи. Кроме того, меню дополнительных параметров позволяет отрегулировать баланс белого, автофокусировку и количество кадров в секунду.

Создав идентификатор Logitech, можно сохранить все профили настроек в ПО Logitech Capture. Возможность сохранения профилей настроек (до шести) позволяет быстро и удобно переключаться между различными сеансами.
