Hi,

can anyone give me full instructions and drives for webcam to work under ubuntu 10.04 (could be the same under different versions) . I have a Logitech® Webcam C905.
Please see if you could just send me this instructions like if they were for a beginner.. I am not actually one but since this is new I will like to see all of the steps.
Thanks and I will be really appreciated it.


OK, see step by step instructions:

1- pick up your camera
2- search for usb port in your pc
3- plug camera in usb port

that's it.

Now you can try the following software:

guvcview (http://guvcview.berlios.de):
just follow the instructions on the page for the latest version or run:
sudo apt-get install guvcview for an older version (ubuntu default is 1.3.0 I think, current is 1.4.0)

cheese:
sudo apt-get install cheese

ekiga:
I think this is installed by default

Best regards,
Paulo
