I'm trying to get this old webcam working with Ubuntu. Cheese says "No Device Found". The Zoom application only shows "camera" as a video device, but no picture. The Camorama program is able to get a picture, so I'm not sure why 2 out of 3 programs don't work. lsusb shows: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:092d Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express / Go
If I unplug and plug it back in, dmesg gives:
[10381.658660] usb 5-1: USB disconnect, device number 2
[10384.162530] usb 5-1: new full-speed USB device number 4 using uhci_hcd

[10384.435577] input: spca561 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.2/usb5/5-1/input/input15
The device is showing up in /dev:
/dev/video0 -l
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Mar 29 05:31 /dev/video0
I thought it was a permission issue, but I'm logged in as "john" and I got this: cat /etc/group|grep vid video:x:44:john So my usercode is in the video group. If I run cheese from the command line, I get these errors:
