Problems with Webcams and other programs.
by miglix21 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57AG6)
Hello everyone. I expect that all of you are doing fine.
I am new to Manjaro and I have a few question about some programs. I tried to install Fakecam, but it says I need to install this driver v4l2loopback and I haven't found yet the instructions to do so on Manjaro.
I installed OBS Studio but I continue to get a GPU error when I try to load the program. I managed to access it using a command from the terminal, but, when I try to record a video it also says it is not possible (something related with the graphics cards too, don't remember quite well the message it sends).
I also installed a program called Cheese, but it doesn't record and runs very slowly, there was another program I installed from the Add/Remove software application that I don't even remember the name, it just didn't recognize the webcam I have plugged on the computer.
I've also installed Blender, but it just doesn't run. I click the icon on the menu-bar, the icon appears on the bar at the bottom of the screen like it is loading and then it just closes.
Some ideas about what can be happening?
Update:
I managed to find the command to install v4l2loopback. When I try to install it, It says that I don't have the kernel headers to do so:
==> Unable to install module v4l2loopback/0.12.5 for kernel 5.7.15-1-MANJARO: Missing kernel headers.
==> Unable to install module v4l2loopback/0.12.5 for kernel 5.4.58-1-MANJARO: Missing kernel headers.
I already ran the command to install the kernel header, but I don't have a clue about which kernel header fakecam uses.
