Droidcam Installation Error on Ubuntu 18.04

I faced similar problem but in a bit different scenario. I was running already installed Droidcam on Ubuntu and saw this error. It was caused due to a lost video device which happened after kernel update.

So that, I uninstalled Droidcam-

sudo /opt/droidcam-uninstall

Then reinstalled it following this procedure.

The problem was solved afterwards.

I had the same problem and found the solution here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34800731/module-not-found-when-i-do-a-modprobe

Running this:

sudo depmod -ae
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback_dc
droidcam

It is working for me.

Just tried to use droid cam and hit same bugs. What got me going was to first install standard loopback camera from apt.

sudo apt install v4l2loopback-utils

doing install prompt for the MOK password. Then reboot and get another prompt about MOK password. Don't skip the password.

After that, I did the droid cam instructions again from the link above and the module was no more error.

I had usb debuggin on the old alcatel phone and I can find it in cheese program camera list. Here is the firs picture.

Now need to see about the resolution. onlye seeing 640x480 in the list of cheese settings.

I have solved this problem just now, and if you have a Secure Boot enabled you might wanna uninstall the droidcam first then run this command

sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key

then reboot you should see the Mok Manager then proceed to enroll key and sign it and continue booting up then re-install the droidcam
