Hi

Looks like the driver does not support the sensor in your webcam!

Can you remind me the ecact make/model again - I will see if I can find any other drivers!?

Hi

Right I have now produced Wizard 1.02!

Give this a go. It now allows for more than one driver and will automatically download each and try them. Fingers crossed!!

Hi Lobster!!

Sorry about that - don't give up!! We'll get there - the fish are on your side!!

Try version 1.04 of my Wizard. I think the last try highlighted some problems in the wizard - I feel more confident that this version will work and the alternative driver really should give you some results. Fingers crossed (or claws!)

Lobster · #28 Post by **Lobster** » Sun 14 May 2006, 03:25

Good to hear about the fish

Here is the latest output
I also found my other 'webcam'
It is not really a webcam but a tiny digital camera
that can be used as a webcam - a Umax 320S
Do you want me to run that through the wizard too?

Hey we need more testers.
All you do is download the latest wizard from Nickbikers website (see first post in this thread)
then you plug in your webcam and click on the downloaded file
and just follow the instruction (a few mouse clicks)
A text file is created in "my documents" which you can send or post here.

Are you sure those fish are on my side?
They might end up - Eaten!

Here is the latest output
I also found my other 'webcam'
It is not really a webcam but a tiny digital camera
that can be used as a webcam - a Umax 320S
Do you want me to run that through the wizard too?

Yes - give it a go my Homarus gammarus friend!

Lobster wrote:Hey we need more testers.

I have had a few people email to say they have got their cams to work using the Wizard - good news!

Lobster - I think it is now working it was just the wizard that got the analysis wrong! Try the lastest again (1.05) - nearly there!! Difficult when I don't have the cam this end - but I feel the tide is with us!!

File integrity ERROR: camwizard-1.05.pup

Suggestion: Download the Pup file again

tried 3 downloads - got the same above message
The fish did it!
The other cam did not work - will try it again with 1.05 when I can download

Oh for goodness!!

All I do is ftp the package to the web site and now this!! I have copied it again and checked and all working. You have to wonder somedays - doesn't the ftp ensure integrity of the file?

It should be ok now!

As for the other cam, a quick check reveals that you have choosen another cam that is "difficult" undex Linux. The Wizard won't find it - but at least you can let me have the output and I can start my jouney on that one too...

Success!

The picture is of MTpaint and a portal to another dimension
I am holding the camera so it is a bit blurred . . .
- will try other cam later

You the man!

I will make a page on the website so we can record all those Puppy's who have got their webcams to work!! Well done

The other camera looks a "challenge"!

Have fun!

the other webcam/camera is a Umax AstraPix 320S
and it does not seem to be registering as plugged in even.
We got this camera working with digicam (it could not be acessed from MUT)

Hi

Try plugging it into USB and doing

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

Sadly if the basic USB controller does not register the device as exisiting, then we can't move forward!

Have you tried it in different USB ports?

Lobster · #36 Post by **Lobster** » Tue 16 May 2006, 14:49

tried different ports
here is the USB result could not see it?
It is a camera rather than a webcam - and I am happy with the working one.
I will install it again as the TV prog has stopped working - so it may not have taken (I am in 1.09 - is that using the right kernel? - think it is)

Anyway I hope to eventually see your web wizard in Puppy

No it does not appear!

Try using CONTROL PANEL->USB View

see if anything shown.

I will put the utility "lsusb" on my site to download later, you can then use:

Code: Select all

lsusb -v

Which gives detailed list of everything on USB bus. It may be that the camera is drawing too much power from your motherboard USB ports, and connecting it by a powered hub could work?

The Wizard checks the kernel, so it must be ok! It should not have stopped working!

You could also see if there are any Kernel messages after you plug it in

dmesg

See if that has anything in it!!

I have already drawn his attention to it. That does not mean it will appear right away in Puppy.

Lots happening with Puppy2 . . .

Your program does things in a way I rather like. Rather than having every and all drivers, the right one is installed and utilised and added.

So please continue refining it . . .

More people with cams needed to test . . .

For Puppy1xx:
There will be no more official release from Barry, instead the community-version might add new stuff:
post it here:
http://forum.puppylinux.net/viewforum.php?f=2

If you add support for Kernel 2.6, post it here for Puppy 2:
