Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex + Logitech Quickcam Web + working solution that actually works!
Spent a few hours today trying every variation of fixes on the web.
This one actually works! Thanks to Jeff Rasmussen: http://jeffrasmussen.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/ubuntu-quickcam-express/
On his Step 11: In case you don’t know: remove the module thusly: sudo modprobe -r quickcam
Here is a copy of the code already patched and ready to go:
qc-usb-source-patched-for-ubuntu-8.10.tar.gz
With this code you should just have to:
remove your camera from the usb port
make quickcam.ko
sudo cp quickcam.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/ubuntu/qc-usb/
modprobe -r quickcam
plug camera back into usb port
start cheese
