Greetings all;
I just bought some webcams, and the std viewer for a webcam has been cheese for quite a while now. But its not part of TDE, and when I had apt-get install it, it pulled in about 23 more megabytes worth of dependencies.
Didn't help, it still segfaults. So I hauled the camera to one of my milling machines, also running wheezy, installed cheese, and it Just Worked(TM).
But here? No way: ===================== gene@coyote:~/Pictures/pix$ cheese

Does anyone know of a TDE viewer that just works for a webcam?
Thanks.

AFAIK Cheese is a Gnome application, so I suppose that that particular machine did not have (required) part of Gnome installed

TDE no, but I usually use guvcview (which is Gtk+) that does fit my (very limited) webcam requirements.

Thank you. That also segfaults, unless you give it a valid device name argument, then it works. As does VLC. I've installed both v4l and v4l2 utility's but v4l2 can't find it, and will not accept text entry in the open device box. So I guess its a simple v4l device.
Sitting here in the dark with nothing but the monitor for illumination, its giving me a pretty quality decent pix of me, not that I can be called decent sitting here in an undershirt. But nobody at 81 looks good & I'm no exception. :( The front of the lens says 10x optical zoom, but the only control I can find is optical focus. At this light level its making about 8 fps. And to call it 640x480 is somewhat "carnival barker" stretched. But it works, and given a solid mount, it can probably be used as a locator device for machine vision. We have some utility's that can control a milling machine so that it can be mounted and aimed straight down, that can be used to first, calibrate its vision offset from the machine, then offset the machine so we can find a spot/registration mark, record it its X&Y location a couple times, and which will then move the machine back to where the tool is on that spot. And if the two registration marks aren't aligned along an axis, can modify the gcode on the fly to align the machines paths traveled with those marks even it its rotated 90 degrees when the workpiece was clamped down on the table.
Thanks THierry. At least I know it can "make pictures" now. Which for a less than 9 USD camera, amazes the heck out of me.
