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

The command is actually

# modprobe mod_quickcam

(as root)

But it should not be necessary.

Does the camera work with kopete and/or cheese?

Also, check if your user is listed as a user of the group "camera". This should change in the near future, with the general use of PolicyKit, but ATM it's necessary to add your user to that group to be able to use the camera. Notice that after adding the user to that group you have to logout and relogin to make the change applicable.

"chad" is the actual username?

Do you really run your user account with root priviledges?

# groups

means running the command with root permissions, and

$ groups

means running it as plain user.

Did you run "groups" as root, or plain user?

And- in any case, the output is just not normal.
