I bought a new Logitech C310 webcam. I don't know how to install it on Ubuntu. I am trying to install this software through the terminal window.
wine /media/LWS_2_0/Setup.exe
but its showing as
fixme:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Header type magic 0x00905a4d not supported.
err:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Loading of typelib L"Z:\\media\\LWS_2_1\\MSetup.exe" failed with error 0
and it opens a window with data as
We have detected you have connected your webcam to a USB1.1 port,for
the best performance and full feature set,we suggest using a USB2.0
port
I tried this all the USB ports available in my system. It's showing the same error.
Please tell me how to install this webcam on ubuntu 11.10.
Thanks for reading.
Edit:
The cam is working with all softwares like cheese which are available in Software Center, but the main problem is the webcam consists of controllers and effects by default along with the webcam if we install the Software got along with the webcam. I already installed the same webcam on Windows. It's working fine with all effects and controllers like zoom out zoom in and pixel range selection, wide screen or standard and all these. But in Ubuntu it's just working without any control of those. If I want to go for 720p or 480p its not getting possible here. So this is the problem i got with this in Ubuntu.
Does anyone know how it is possible to add those controls in Ubuntu?
