Driver Webcam Logitech QuickCam Express in Kubuntu 12.10

[edenceballos]

As a driver I can install my Logitech QuickCam Express webcam in Kubuntu 12.10

Have you checked to see if there is a proprietary driver that is identified that can be activated?

K Menu > System > Additional Drivers

not really, I connect the webcam and then try if there is one?

[edenceballos]

I do not see anything

[Snowhog]

Open a console and type: lsusb

Copy and past the output in you reply.

apparently not detected

A quick google search finds this: http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/ which may be of help.

I don't think so, given that the webcam isn't even registered by lsusb.

[edenceballos]

did not work

That makes me think the webcam is broken! It should at the very least just show something.

He could just try dmesg straight after plugging the usb in. That could also give us a little insight.

I think there may be a conflict with bluetooth, because when the plug now, and type the command lsusb I get the following:

eden@eden-MS7255:~$ lsusb

que puede estar pasando, que en ocasiones la detecta y en otras no?

[edenceballos]

When so, it works well. I'll watch when you turn on the computer to verify that it has detected the camera before use.

thanks for the assistance.
