Hello, I have been trying to make my webcam work (0c45:612a Microdia; Ubuntu 8.04).
1. installed Git and downloaded the source code. Had some trouble because I lacked curl but installed this following instructions in one of the discussions and things seemed to go okay. 2. did 'apt-get install kernel-package linux-headers build-essential libv4l'. 3. didn't understand anything in 'Setting up the compilation environment' so I left that alone. 4. this is what my terminal says when I do the make command, which I guess looks okay, though it says 'ctags: Command not found': alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/alarichall/ microdia modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-23-generic' Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 1 modules make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-23-generic' make: ctags: Command not found make: *** [ctags] Error 127 5. then I do 'sudo insmod ./sn9c20x.ko'. At first I had the error 'insmod: error inserting 'sn9c20x.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module' but I followed the instructions listed under troubleshooting and I haven't had that error message again. 6. This is what I now see when I do 'sudo insmod ./sn9c20x.ko': alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ sudo insmod ./sn9c20x.ko insmod: error inserting './sn9c20x.ko': -1 File exists I type 'stdout' and get: alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ stdout bash: stdout: command not found When I type 'dmesg' I get lots of stuff ending with: [ 3695.972968] ipw2100: Fatal interrupt.
