Arron

[i believe it was as root, but I cant be sure. I will do it again to be sure when I get home. I think its more of an issue of my camera being an old one. Becuase I can get to work on my laptop which has ubuntu on it either.

it says root,chad when I type it, I turned off video after I tryed giving my self that permisssion.

hm did not work, I did not find a group called Camera, I did try the group video

FYI the error I get from aMSN is unable to capture from webcam. I dont know the model name, I got it around 2002, but I did find a picuture of it on google. http://img209.imageshack.us/i/quickcamxd4.jpg/ EDIT this is what it says when I try to configure it in aMSN ohci_hcd 0000:00:02:0 leaked ed f64a72c0(#81) state 2 gspca usb_submit_urb(0)err -28 gspca: no transfer endpoint found -- dmesg | grep -i usb usb 1-8: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-8: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=0870 usb 1-8: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 usb 1-8: Product: Camera usb 1-8: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usbcore: registered new interface driver STV06xx ----
