I've been seeking a solution for 2 days now regarding my webcam. My conclusion until now is that the module for uvcvideo and gspca are just not there, but lets start from the beginning.
I went to gstreamer-properties on the video tab and tried to click on test, this is the error I get "Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'."
On the terminal I get:
Code: Select all
Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'. [v4l2_calls.c(493): gst_v4l2_open (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1:
system error: No such file or directory]

No results here...
Well, I'm not an expert but it seems to me the module files related to the webcam support are missing. Can someone help me out here?
