It depends on your program.

I am like cheese f.ex. just install with:
sudo apt install cheese

Than take a look how it works with:
cheese —help
[. ]
-d, —device=DEVICE Device to use as a camera
[. ]

( —help or -h should work with any program. If you’re in any GUI search for ‘Help’ in the menu bar)

All possible devices can be seen with ls -ltrh /dev/video* and it starts with 0 (your internal cam). The external cam should be available with:
cheese -d /dev/video1 (of course depending on the other system configurations)

• If this is too much, just disable the internal cam in your Laptop BIOS (the steps depends on your device).
• If you’d like to have a cool solution, may you’d like to write an udev -rule for the permanent reorder.
• Something in between is to find and unload the kernel driver . but this needs to have two different camera chips/drivers. And when you’ll start to write in /etc/modprobe.d/ (for example in blacklist ), it could be easier for us to support the udev -thing.

Linux и Logitech c270

Я довольно часто общаюсь в скайп из дома. Причем, иногда общаюсь с ноута (lenovo x201i), иногда — с планшета (Lenovo Yoga 1 8″). Так вот, с планшета меня видно — отлично, а вот с ноутбука. не очень. При том, что Интернет у меня очень хороший — вывод напрашиался однозначный — дело в камере ноутбука. Хотя согласно спецификации в ней 2МП, но вот как-то не видно их. В итоге решено было поправить «это дело», путем приобретения камеры Logitech c270. Почему именно этой? Ну, во-первых, у нас на работе стоят камеры этой линейки, только старшие — видно отлично! Во-вторых, она хорошо встает на ubuntu без танцев и бубнов. В общем, этих 2 причин достаточно для того, чтобы купить и поставить.

Купил. Поставил. Ядром (Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 на Linux Mint 17 Qiana) была опознана сразу, в скайпе завелась без проблем. Что еще надо для счастья? :)))

Так что, товарищи линуксоиды — если кому надо, берите на заметку. Вещь хорошая, удобная. Своих денег стоит.

Спасибо за уверенность! Уже заказал, завтра тоже себе на Ubutu 18.04 поставлю.

Уже года 4 пользуюсь ею на линуксе на разных компах. Изображение отличное, чувствительность микрофона супер.

Но всегда одна и так же проблема — при начале разговора она толи неправильно кодирует звук, толи ещё что-то. В общем вместо моего голоса раздаётся какой-то смешной писк (будто воспроизведение ускорено в десять раз).

Лечится открытием списка микрофонов в системе (из трея), сменой на другой и возвращение обратно. Второй и последующие звонки иногда сразу нормально работают, а иногда опять приходится повторять этот «танец с бубном».

Re: Logitech C270 webcam install.

I just went to the Logitech site and it explicitly says the C270 doesn’t support Linux:

Sorry about that. I was looking for decent Linux compatible camera too.

To the OP: follow the first bit of advice, run cheese from cli, and paste any error output.

Re: Logitech C270 webcam install.

Hi you all,
I reckon this is an old post, but still.

I’m looking for a good webcam to be used in an old PC running Lubuntu 12.04 and I’m tempted to buy a C270. I wonder if you could eventually make it work in Ubuntu, despite the Logitech disclaimer.

Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers.

Hi, everybody! My c270 works out-of-the-box in Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
Didn’t test the sound yet, but the pic is definitely there. Tested with Skype and cheese.

Thanks for your feedback, shoguevara. It would be great to hear again from you in case you test sound too.
