Continuing the work to get my old webcam working on the bubba 2 rather than on the original bubba.

Looking in /lib/modules on the bubba two, it says the source is available in /home/tor/work/kernel/2.6.26-5/ethfix/linux-2.6.26.5, which obviously doesn't exist on my bubba two.

Excito, any pointers to where the bubba two's source code (or at least headers) can be found?
An instruction like http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=303#p1036, but for the bubba two, would be fantastic!

Tried enabling the second of the following lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
# The stable BUBBA|TWO repository, is in the suite "stable". source packages
#deb-src http://update.excito.org/ marielle main

But apt-get source bubba-kernel still fails..

Suggestions?


Thanks

Hi mountaindude,

Sources for the kernel on Bubba|Two is available here: http://download.excito.net/kernel/BubbaTwo/ We have however not had time to provide any crosscompiler for this yet

I want webcam on mine to can you make an Howto on this??

Hi mountaindude and winzhangout,

Is this a driver external to Liunx Kernel? If so could you provide me with some info on this and i will take a look at it.

Hi Tor,

Have a look at http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/.
Great if you could help out getting this running on the Bubba2!

Hi,

The qc-usb driver on SourceForge seems ancient. You are sure that this is the correct driver for your cameras? Ie you have verified the usb-ids against the ones mentioned on the homepage?

I ask this because there is another driver that we missed to add last time we upgraded the kernel. And that is the UVC driver (Usb Video Class driver) Which supports many Logitech cameras. The somewhat outdated homepage of that driver is http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ (This driver will, hopefully, be added in the next kernel upgrade)

Ahh, well I guess they are a bit old... But the thing is I have two old webcams (that still work well under Windows though!) that need that driver (they do not work with newer drivers). And as the driver eventually compiled fine on the original bubba, but something didn't work out on the hardware side (or if it was the driver messing up - I don't know) I wanted to try it out on the bubba2 as well.
It just feels better to reuse the hardware you already got than to buy new stuff, even if a new webcam isn't too expensive..

Cool - I am sure people with more modern webcams will appreciate that!

Thanks
