one webcam works, one isnt

Post here to ask any questions about hardware suitability, configuration in ZoneMinder, or experiences. If you just want to know if something works with ZoneMinder or not, please check the Hardware Compatibility sections in the forum, and the Wiki first. Also search this topic as well.

one webcam works, one isnt

Post by mmoalem »

hi there all
this afternoon i started setting up a dedicated machine for cctv using ubuntu 7.10 server as base and zoneminder (the ubuntu package). I have 2 webcams, one basic Labtec and one Logitech STX. both have been detected out-of-the-box on my main pc which is running a standard ubuntu 7.10.
other than zoneminder the only other thing installed is webmin for server control.
i have started with the labtec camera which has been recognised and has /dev/video0- i have configured zoneminder with it and it works. than i have connected the logitech cam and it is not recognised, no /dev/video* is beeing created and the dmesg log shows:
