[JdeRobot] Trouble with camera

[JoseMaria Cañas Plaza]

Hi Alvaro,

uhm... weird. I have the same camera model, and ubuntu-linux properly
detects the camera on my machine and cameraserver works like a charm.
When running: lsusb, it delivers:
"Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:0990 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 9000
And it properly creates a /dev/video0"
What does your machine show when running lsub?

Check also what are the kernel messages about the video device. For
instance, in my machine when running: dmesg | grep -E 'video|amera'
 it delivers:
[   14.693908] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[   15.233421] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:0990)
[   15.247963] input: UVC Camera (046d:0990) as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-3/2-3:1.0/input/input15
[   15.248060] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo

Are you running a native ubuntu-linux or a video on a virtual machine?

Best regards,

JoseMaria
