Hey
I am using Fedora where it works, not Ubuntu, but it seems
like frei0r-plugins is pulling in an incomplete opencv package. see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/459940
The workaround they suggest is to remove frei0r-plugins which is not an
option since you need it.

Looks like your webcam is not automatically getting picked up by gstreamer.
run gstreamer-properties (in Ubuntu it's in the gnome-media package), and
make sure the video default input works, or configure it appropriately.

Hi Eitan,
I am not sure if I did all correctly but I installed frei0r-filter

together would be memory and CPU hungry and would take the

Hi Jude,
thanks for a reply. However, I do not have problems with using the
Genius webcam through Cheese as a normal webcam, the drivers are not
problem.
Second, I did not mean watching through webcam like those "digital
wireless nannies" (devices - first with a webcam and motion detector,

See if the command update-usb-ids is on that laptop and if it is, why not
