Snat Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Okay, so my upgrade to Mandriva 2009.1 has happened successfully which is very good news. However, I am having two problems. One is bluetooth but I will leave that for another day but this time it is my webcam. I am unable to get this webcam to work. In cheese, it says it can not pick up the webcam and in a flash program on my site, it says it is in use by something else. I do not know if it is installed so any help from the community will be very thankful from me. The part in bold below is my webcam.

Snat Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Okay, after some playing about, it seems that "r5u870 (http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html)" seems to have an answer that I need. However, it doesn't install when I tried to install it from source. I ran urpmi kernel-devel and tried installing again however, it once again decided it wouldn't install. I tried to install it by using urpmi (just incase Mandriva already has it) urpmi r5u870 -a However, that too came back deciding not to work. I have listed the error below, however I got a feeling it might be due to my kernel so if anyone can point me which way to go next, tell me it isn't possible at this time, or give me a how too then I would be very thankful.
