How can I use my usb webcam on dyne:bolic?

You have to activate the camera loading its kernel module, depending on the webcam you've got:

  • for logitech/dexxa quickcams the module is mod_quickcam and is installed by typing, at terminal:

    modprobe mod_quickcam

  • for philips webcams the module is pwc:

    modprobe pwc

  • for other webcams, please refer to the [http://www.linux-usb.org linux-usb] site.

Please note that hasciicam and freej don't support philips webcams.

Once the module is loaded, you will get a device called /dev/v4l/video0

For convenience, you could also make a link to it:

ln -sf /dev/v4l/video0 /dev/video
