Has anyone had any luck with their webcams in ubuntu, i have tried both camE and camstream which i installed through synaptic but i can seem to get either of them to work. Both applications see my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Zoom) but when i open camstream and then open a viewer from within camstream the entire application hangs and needs to be killed.
As for camE i have had a look through ~/.camErc and edited the paths for ftp access and logs but for some reason each time i try to take a shot it never takes the image, i just get the error in the terminal "No Image Taken" (or something to that effect)
Im open to suggestions, of either ways to fix one of these applications or of a different application (preferably one which can be installed through the synaptic apt-get frontend) :squareeye
