General Support - webcam queries

Titel: webcam queries

I have kanotix and windows xp on dual boot and most of the time they work great together . At the moment I am trying to work out why when I start on kanotix my webcam that is situated above the monitor comes on , well I presume it comes on or is activated , because it has the little green light activated . I dont get this when I am in windows , unless I start skype or msn messenger .
My question , Is there a service that is activated in kanotix that activates this when I boot into kanotix , this is really a fresh install , I havnt really altered much from standard Smilie

I am sure there is something in your forum when I do a search but I cant understand it if it is not in english Smilie

Thanks

Peter

Most importantly , is your webcam working in kanotix?

My webcam in MSXP shows a green LED

I havnt even tried to use it in kanotix , I go into windows and use it in Skype , but I will try and get it working in kanotix Smilie

There is a green light , but I certainly havnt tried to use it , maybe it is plug & play in kanotix , that is what I was trying to find out Smilie

Open Konsole and enter

Code:

caminfo

to obtain information about the webcam's status. Then launch Camstream from the Debian menu. Go to "File --> Open viewer..." and select your webcam from the list of available devices.

I have logged out of skype and see the webcam light it off , it wasnt doing that before , it was staying on all the time , and as far as I know I never had anything working in kanotix on it Smilie

and yes bluewater when I go into kmenu-camorama it works too . The light comes on when I activate it , and when I go out , the light goes off .

All my questions answered , so thank you for your time Smilie
