Hi All, I am trying to customize a Ubuntu distribution for a major banking (NFBC) company in India. They were on Windows and now they are planning to move to Linux. Everything is working fine except their webcam which they use to take the photographs of their customers for records. Their webcam is iball (brand) and under the hood it is Microdia U-CAM PC Camera NE878. I have tried other solutions in this group and the current status is I am getting a moving ghost image. I am quoting below the logs from the system which is used for testing, if anybody has any idea how to make it work, let me know. If this project moves on around 1000 PC's will be converted to Linux (bye bye Windows) and the major stumbling block is this webcam issue as they have around 100 of them and they dont want to replace it.
