Thanks for that link, I come across a problem when I'm doing this though

This is what I get

Code: Select all

 dpkg -i /mjpg-streamer_r64-1_i386.deb
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege

try

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i /mjpg-streamer_r64-1_i386.deb

I tried that and got this

Code: Select all

dpkg: error processing /mjpg-streamer_r64-1_i386.deb (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:

Try this step again with what i posted, the poster forget the b on .deb

Code: Select all

mkdir /home/username/uvcwork
cd /home/username/uvcwork
wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer_r64-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./mjpg-streamer_r64-1_i386.deb
