Hi... I have the above WebCam but I simply cannot get it to work with this installation of Cinnamon 19... I would be most grateful for some direction here... Richard.

Hmm - there is a high likelihood of that M$ LifeCam needing some Extra Drivers.
and as such, you could have some issues in getting those drivers to work on any Linux System.

Hi Pierre... Yes, and thanks for that, I obtained ALL the drivers from the MS website for this device but non are suitable for Linux! I guess I'll have to stick with my Logitech webcam... Kindest regards... Richard.

Not much of a surprise there. Microsoft make their own operating system, they're not likely to offer drivers for other ones. For that reason, not all hardware will work with Linux-based OSses. Blame the manufacturers who don't want to support Linux.richardamer wrote: ⤴Tue Sep 25, 2018 7:12 am I obtained ALL the drivers from the MS website for this device but non are suitable for Linux!
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!
