@Grizzly907

You must run the command make && make install in the SAME DIRECTORY as the downloaded files.

However, this camera works out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04.

@Bradb71
The line that says “/home/brad/Desktop/DriverRobot_Setup.exe” tells you that this is windows software. (“.exe”)
What is the model of the camera?

[...] Linux Driver for Quickcam USB cameras – Logitech Quickcam Fusion will help you get your Logitech Fusion working with Ekiga. This is a post I wrote just over a year ago, some things may have changed (and personally, I’ve learned a lot more since then). [...]

great, I can build and load the module with Kubuntu 8.04 also!

I do not know if the webcam actually works because I am using a virtual machine, so I cannot attach a webcam.

What is the device file that should exist after loading the module?

Again thanks for this tutorial!

To anyone who reads this..

You don’t have to manually copy the stuff from the http://svn.berlios.de/ url.. It’s a svn url which means it’s actually a lot easier to get the files. Here’s what you do:
(Subversion is a program that lets developers make it easy for people to access the source code, and if they want to, edit it!)

First, install the subversion client, don’t worry, it’s small!
$ sudo apt-get install subversion

Then, go to the folder you want to put the files in, and run:
$ svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk/

This will download all the files automagically! Generally this is how you download any files from “http://svn…” URLs in general!

Also, it is both unnecessary and moreover, UNSAFE to run:
$ sudo make

You only have to run
$ make

But you DO have to run
$ sudo make install
because usually this is putting stuff in system-critical spots!

I forgot to mention, the “Makefile” kept saving with a .htm extension. Just rename it without the extension!
