Ubuntu is a free open source software distributing free cd's all around the world as every one knows ,
by the past ubuntu release 9.04 Im really sucked up , I had to install everything from Sound driver to configuring my webcam
But this release made my installation as simple as eating a cake , Every hardware
i) hp laserjet printer 1020 plus
ii) Microdia webcam
iii) gigaget sound driver
iv) Mesa graphics driver
v) network
all drivers have been automatically installed at end of installation :D
note :
Please plugin all your available hardware to pc when you start installation
bcoz its little harder in post installation
And finally Im surprised by the option MOBILE BROADBAND at network connection which makes gprs connection through mobile far far easier than windows
Next as a new feature Pidgin had video and voice chat for gtalk as well as file transfer support ( The main reason why I switch onto windows is no more :P)
Above all GAMING is major reason why windows is still in many box , here comes an end , CEDEGA supports 3d acceleration in ubuntu 9.10 that made my games faster and reduced pixelation when i play
but thing is i dont know to crack ( as we usually do ) in cedega :( so u can use only genuine cd's
If you are still stuck with windows and cant change out abruptly then try wine or cross over ( if you can really afford such a huge amount )
Im pleased to use Ubuntu 9.10 as early as its released and really its far better than 9.04 with many bugs fixed up
I have a microdia cam (enter night view cam) - `lsusb' displays it as MICRODIA vendor: 0c45:614a. The cam is not getting detected properly on Ubuntu 9.10 (no entry in /dev/video). Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance

Run the commands in console one by one
ReplyDeletesudo echo deb http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu hardy main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo echo deb-src http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu hardy main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install easycam2-gtk
after installation is over you can see easycam in Accessories
Plugin the web cam and Install driver from easycam
This should work ;)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI tried this, and easycam gives a message
"No camera or no compatible camera found".
I have a frontech webcam and lsusb shows
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c45:614a Microdia
There is no /dev/video file. Does it mean that I will never be able to use this camera on my ubuntu hardy installation?
Thanks.
are you using hardy heron still?
ReplyDeletetry moving on to karmic it has driver for microdia in default
" But remember to plug in web cam during start of installation in any of the free usb ports "
or else if you cant switch over to 9.10 have you tried gspca ?
