hi
i am trying to use a USB webcam with GEM on my IBM laptop with Ubuntu Studio but pd gives me an error
error: failed opening device '/dev/video0'
the same camera runs perfectly on the same laptop under XP and also on my desktop machine with Ubuntu Studio. All using the same patch and same versions of PD and GEM.
most likely it is a problem with permissions: check whether there is a file /dev/video0, and check which permissions are set. are you in the correct group?
