webcam on Slackware Current
by mfoley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MSG1)
I've been using XFCE and Slackware Current for several months with few problem. I just connected my Logitech USB webcam to get it working. This worked fine with 14.2, KDE and guvcview -- and was recognized by my VBox virtual machine on that platform.
I cannot get the camera working on Slackware Current and XFCE. kamoso fails to load:
Code:$ kamoso
kf.kirigami: Warning: Theme implementations should use Kirigami.BasicThemeDefinition for its root item
kf.kirigami: The Theme singleton is deprecated (since 5.39). Import Kirigami 2.2 or higher and use the attached property instead.
file:///usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/private/globaltoolbar/PageRowGlobalToolBarUI.qml:62:17: Unable to assign [undefined] to QQmlListProperty<QObject>
The webcam controller was unable to find or load wrappercamerabinsrc plugin; please make sure all required gstreamer plugins are installed.
Unrecoverable error occurred when initializing webcam. Exiting.I found a site for gstreamer plug-ins which I'll experiment with: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/do...?gi-language=c. But it doesn't seems like I should have to do that.
guvcview fails to build from SlackBuilds:
Code:ERROR: libopenjpeg not found"cheese" is not in the SlackBuilds repo. If someone has their camera working with Slackware Current. Please advise on what to do. THX
