Sorry should've mentioned it but didn't realise until I finished the last post but there are some other lines of code that need updating in the same way.
Thanks for the guide btw I got my eyetoy working!

Hello, I have been following this tutorial but when I get to:
My terminal just says:Code:sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`What could I be doing wrong? I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but I started using Ubuntu (properly) just 3 days ago.Code:Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r
I am using Ubuntu 6.10.
Thank you all in advance,
From Michael.
Is this for eyetoy silver too?
EDIT: Yes it is =X
Had to run xawtv with -nodga, though

Thanks for the guide....
Just set it up on my girls machne and it all works great
Had a couple of minor issues but somehow it still works so i`m not complaining.
Good stuff!!
Hoping someone here can help. I've got an Argus PC300 cam that also uses the Omnivision chipset. When I bring up camorama, I get a flickering black and white square, no real picture. It's obvious that it's getting SOMETHING, though.
I went through the instructions in this thread, but when I enter:
I get:sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ov51x.ko
Similarly, when I enter:insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-386/extra/ov51x.ko': -1 Operation not permitted
I get:sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ov519_decomp.ko
I'm using Feisty, and DID remember to remove the #includes from the .c files (as mentioned in the earlier post).insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-386/extra/ov519_decomp.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
dmesg says this:

I have the Namai version of the Eyetoy and when I tried your howto after d/l'ing a different build of the ov51x I got from here:
http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/download.html#ov51x
I tried to run the following out of the directory I extracted the package to and got the following output in terminal. Any suggestions?

Yes, this might want to be updated for
http://www.rastageeks.org/downloads/...g-1.5.0.tar.gz
i using ubuntu Feisty Fawn
i did that
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
wget http://www.rastageeks.org/downloads/...eg/ov51x-jpeg-1.5.1.tar.gz
tar -xvf ov51x-jpeg-1.5.1.tar.gz
cd ov51x-jpeg-1.5.1
sudo make install
sudo modprobe videodev
sudo modprobe i2c_core
and when i put that line sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ov51x.ko
its tell me that
kevin@kevin-desktop:~/ov51x-jpeg-1.5.1$ sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ov51x.ko
insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/extra/ov51x.ko': No such file or directory
kevin@kevin-desktop:~/ov51x-jpeg-1.5.1$ sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ov51x.ko
insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/extra/ov51x.ko': No such file or directory
what can i do?
srry for mi english
i know im stupid but what is uname -r mean?
The rastageeks website has changed - the ov51x-jpeg download has moved/changed.
I used the 1.5.1 version.
The tar & cd commands following need changing appropriately - they don't refer to the version just wget'ed anyway.
I changed the insmod commands too:
$ ls /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/extra/
ov51x-jpeg.ko
$ sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ov51x-jpeg.ko
Camorama gives me a working camera, with 3 images replicated horizontally.
The red light wasn't lit to show the camera was on.
Kopete hangs - I stopped it, but now nothing can see the camera.
This is on Edgy Eft
Any help appreciated - rebooting now to hopefully recover camera access.
Thanks
Chris
