Bug Description
I have a a4tech webcam pk-635. Why I only get error msg from xawtv?
From terminal:
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.20-16-generic)
can't open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
no video grabber device availabl
At the same time, I have WinXP and vmware-player installed, From there the webcam function perfect!
I have spent hours and days try to debug this in Ubuntu, but nothing changes. The only is I have installed more programs that
neither can use the webcam. Why is there no "control panel" or like that in Ubuntu? That was what helped me in Windows.
Ubuntu Hardware manager say there is webcam, but nothing about status or helpful info as I can see.
Can anyone help with this?
