webcam - skype - tux user

webcam with skype doesnt work in default. in that case

* i downloaded tazpkg package and install it with following command

     root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazpkg install libv41.tazpkg

     root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazpkg install linux-video.tazpkg

     root@slitaz:modprobe uvcvideo

* everything installed well and working. But

if skype works under root user i mean

root&slitaz:skype &

webcam working well no problem.

if skype works under tux user

tux@slitaz:~$skype &

i cant see webcam in options of skype. it says no device found.

Re: webcam - skype - tux user

i am the one asked and i am the one answer the question in case someone will face with this error.

----------------------

if webcam works for root user but doesnt work for normal user pls assign permission for /dev/video0 file. webcam wil work for tux user also

chgrp tux   /dev/video0

chmod 777   /dev/video0

chmod g+r   /dev/video0

chmod o-rwx /dev/video0
