I wanted to see if my cheapy usb webcam works on the bbb (stock, running debian 8.5).. so I installed cheese, but during installation, using this guide, it said out of memory!

Since it didn't finish installing correctly, I'm guessing it's best not to run it, but how do unistall the partial install? And how can I see the camera output without the use of cheese? BTW, the camera I'm using is a very old Logitech Quickcam Chat (640x480 961413-0215). Figured the low frame resolution/frame rate should be a piece of cake for the bbb! This webcam works on my desktop debian running cheese. I know there's a few webcams known to work with the bbb, (Logitech C920, playstation eye), but if I do have to buy a new one, I was thinking of a microsoft kinect or a lifecam studio Q2F-00014/X821857-003 Q2F-00015/Q2F-00003 Q2F-00013 5WH-00002 1425 Q2F-00001). http://www.diyinhk.com/shop/usb-microscope-1080p-for-smt-soldering/51-lifecam-studio-1080p-microscope-lens-mod-kit.html <https://www.element14.com/community/external-link.jspa?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diyinhk.com%2Fshop%2Fusb-microscope-1080p-for-smt-soldering%2F51-lifecam-studio-1080p-microscope-lens-mod-kit.html> -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
