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.

I have a logitech webcam and I cant seem to get it to work with AMSN or anything else for that matter. Linux does dectect and reconise the webcam when I plug it in and is listed in the under hardwear.

I also have gspca and V4L2 installed aswell. and I am running 2009.1 spring
