[20:19] <Chex> hey guys
[20:20] <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?
[20:32] <IdleOne> Chex: I know the logitech HD C510 works OTB
[20:35] <Chex> oh cool. nice $30 bucks at Newegg, works for me
[20:40] <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
[20:41] <cyphermox> most newer Microsoft's don't
[20:41] <IdleOne> probably require silverlight or some stupid crap
[20:41] <IdleOne> heh
[20:42] <IdleOne> cyphermox: let me know when you go for a beer with YoBoY. I wouldn't mind having one too
[20:43] <Chex> cyphermox: I have a ancient (1990s) Creative cam that says it works, but when it displays just shows black, time for a upgrade
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <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
[20:46] <Chex> Ankman: ah cool, thanks, will try it
[20:47] <Ankman> didn't work for me, but others reported it does
[20:48] <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)
[20:53] <Chex> ok, thanks
[21:09] <YoBoY> cyphermox, IdleOne vous avez une préférence pour l'heure ? (midi, soir…) ou pour le quartier ?
[21:09] <cyphermox> du tout
[21:10] <IdleOne> non plus.
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <cyphermox> ce serait la semaine prochaine j'imagine?
[21:15] <YoBoY> oui
[21:17] <cyphermox> d'ac
[21:18] <cyphermox> je serai déjà en ville Lundi et Mercredi
[22:29] <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
[22:45] <Ankman> tried /dev/video1 ?
[22:48] <Chex> Ankman: the kernel/device managing isnt assigning the camera a device when I plug it in
[22:49] <Chex> Ankman: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1229435/
[23:03] <Ankman> oh
[23:03] <Ankman> does lsusb show it when plugged in?
[23:11] <Chex> Ankman: yes, it does: Bus 003 Device 013: ID 041e:400a Creative Technology, Ltd PC-Cam 300
[23:12] <Chex> Ankman: dude , this thing is ancient.. I think I will just buy a this-decade replacement for $30 bucks
[23:32] <Ankman> heh
