Webcam, Cheese, Camorama, Vlc 0.92

Own yesterday I have acquired a Logitech Quickcam Express Plus and must say that I have not had the minimal problem of installation and configuration. Ours “magic Ubuntu box” has supplied automatically to the loading of driver the necessary GSPCA to the operation of the gioiellino and has been able immediately to see my beautiful face on Cheese, Camorama and Vlc 0.92. To say the true one on these last ones I have had to take part with a little one setup:

  1. I have had it to Camorama launch from shell with commando camorama - x 640 - y 480 - d=/dev/video1 (- x 640 - y 480 are parameters in order to set up a resolution higher than that than default) because from the menu of Gnome it came outside this: camerror.png
  2. On vlc 0,92 I have cliccato on You open Peripheral of acquisiszione and in the Dispositive card of acquisition in the Peripheral case video I have inserted /dev/video1. webvlc.png
