| Chex | hey guys | 20:19 |
|---|---|---|
| Chex | I need to get a new webcam that will work with 12.04, is there a hardware compatability list I can look at so I can buy something I know will work OK? | 20:20 |
| IdleOne | Chex: I know the logitech HD C510 works OTB | 20:32 |
| Chex | oh cool. nice $30 bucks at Newegg, works for me | 20:35 |
| cyphermox | I have a Logitech Quickcam zoom that works (it's an older webcam) and a Microsft VX-3000 that works out of the box now | 20:40 |
| cyphermox | many cheapo webcams from RadioShack work properly too | 20:40 |
| IdleOne | I think most logitech cams Just Work | 20:40 |
| cyphermox | yep | 20:40 |
| cyphermox | most newer Microsoft's don't | 20:41 |
| IdleOne | probably require silverlight or some stupid crap | 20:41 |
| IdleOne | heh | 20:41 |
| IdleOne | cyphermox: let me know when you go for a beer with YoBoY. I wouldn't mind having one too | 20:42 |
| Chex | cyphermox: I have a ancient (1990s) Creative cam that says it works, but when it displays just shows black, time for a upgrade | 20:43 |
| Chex | cyphermox: and does the same thing when I pass it thru to Vbox/WinXP host | 20:44 |
| Ankman | black where? tried cheese? | 20:44 |
| Chex | Gtalk, and skype | 20:44 |
| Ankman | in skype mine was black too, worked otherwise | 20:44 |
| Chex | well, the only thing I really need it for is skype.. heh | 20:45 |
| Ankman | try "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype" if this works | 20:45 |
| Chex | Ankman: ah cool, thanks, will try it | 20:46 |
| Ankman | didn't work for me, but others reported it does | 20:47 |
| Ankman | if not and if mplayer (may be works with vlc tpp) is installed, try "mplayer -fps 15 tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0" (or video1) | 20:48 |
| Chex | ok, thanks | 20:53 |
| YoBoY | cyphermox, IdleOne vous avez une préférence pour l'heure ? (midi, soir…) ou pour le quartier ? | 21:09 |

| IdleOne | non plus. | 21:10 |
| IdleOne | just give me an address and I'll be there | 21:11 |
| YoBoY | je squatte à côté du parc la fontaine pour info | 21:11 |
| cyphermox | ok | 21:11 |
| cyphermox | y'a tout plein d'endroits près de là | 21:12 |
| cyphermox | tout près de l'université (un peu plus loin vers l'ouest) il y a Benelux | 21:12 |
| YoBoY | ok, on voit ça quand je serais arrivé, faut aussi que je vois avec les amis qui m'hébergent ce qu'ils ont prévus :) mais une soirée bière ça devrait pas poser de soucis :p | 21:14 |

| Chex | Ankman: no luck, its not even setting up the /dev/video device at all: v4l2: unable to open '/dev/video0': No such file or directory | 22:29 |
| Ankman | tried /dev/video1 ? | 22:45 |
| Chex | Ankman: the kernel/device managing isnt assigning the camera a device when I plug it in | 22:48 |
