Logiteck Quickcam USB
by John C. Craig 13 Dec '01

13 Dec '01

Hi, I just bought a color USB Quickcam, and installed SuSE 7.3 Pro. After modprobe mod_quickcam.o the module loads, then in /proc/bus/usb/devices I can see some reference to a camera (although I don't recognize any model information, it is all cryptic codes). What do I need to do to get it working as 1) a webcam and 2) a videoconferencing camera (with Gnome Meeting, for example)? I am guessing it will involve making a node at char-major-81 or something like that, plus, what additional software do I need to install? Thanks John

Hi Clinton, Thanks for your suggestion. Mplayer has now been added to the site. I trust that other SuSE Linux users will also gain from the input of others.

RE: [suse-multimedia-e] Oracle 9i on Suse 7.3

I am installing the Enterprise Edition, but I tell you what actualy worked for me was a suggestion I found on the suse site: 1. Start the install and go until the first error message appears (plsql afair) 2. Open up a shell and login as user oracle 3. go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin 4. Edit the file genclntsh (a script) 5. search for the line beginning with 'SYSLIBS' 6. add '-lgcc -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/2.95.3/' at the end (this lib is in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/2.95.3) 7. start genclntsh and wait until it creates the missing lib 8. Continue the installer with retry It has worked for me. I also hv some screen shots of the problem tobe expected if u r interrested le me know.

Firewire support for dvgrab
by Peter Plantagenet 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Hi -- I've been trying to make dvgrab work, but no such luck. testlibraw produces errors: it finds the ohci1394 card and the request to node 0 works, but not node 1. In addition, the console shows this error message: ohci1394_0: Physical register received outside of bus reset sequence I'm running SuSE Linux 7.3 Personal edition with the 2.4.10 kernel. Is that the problem? And BTW, where is my kernel? It's not in /urs/src where it should be.

linux multimedia web portal
by Gary Behenna 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Hi all, I have begun some work on a rudimentary web portal for Linux multimedia, the focus of which will be to become a one stop site for linux multimedia resources. Please take a look at the site http://linuxplay.freeyellow.com Please give me your input as to what you would like to see on the site and perhaps any suggestions on the design. The site is hosted by freeyellow who offer free hosting and the site is intended as a service to the linux community. Any banners and pop ups are simply as a result of the free hosting (by using Konqueror, I have found that this does not happen - pop ups, that is). Thanks in advance for you input. Best regards, Gary SuSE Linux, German engineering where you need it most.
