Ubuntu8.04 camera driver

The camera that was installed in Ubuntu8.04 a few days ago also supports plug-and-play. However, a problem suddenly occurred today, and Vmware did not recognize it anyway, so we had to debug it. Check USB: lsusb: Bus005Device001: ID0000: 127bus002device001: ID0000: 0000Bus004Device002: ID0483: 2016 SGSThomsonMic

The camera in Ubuntu 8.04 also supports plug-and-play a few days ago, but today suddenly a problem occurs, Vmware does not recognize it anyway, so we have to debug it.

Check USB first:
Lsusb

Shown as follows:
Bus 005 Device 001: ID :0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID :0000
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0483: 2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader
Bus 004 Device 001: ID :0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 15ca: 00c3
Bus 003 Device 001: ID :0000
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0c45: 613c Microdia
Bus 001 Device 001: ID :0000

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0c45: 613c Microdia. This is obviously a camera, and it is estimated that the driver is faulty.

Run the following command:
Lsmod | grep gspca

The detected hardware is different from the previously detected hardware. This display is sn9c × X.

Shown as follows:
Gspca 617808 0
Videodev 32000 1 gspca sn9c102
Usbcore 163760 4 gspca, sn9c102, ohci_hcd, ehci_hcd

You need to uninstall the sn9c102 module:
Sudo modprobe-r sn9c102

Add this module to the blacklist:
Sudo gedit/etc/modprobe. d/blacklist

Add code
Blacklist sn9c102

Restart the computer and the camera will be used.

Test it with camorama
Sudo apt-get install camorama

Easy to use.
