you know, I have a shitty little Logitech webcam I haven't been using for anything
I should train it on the snek tank and stream Waxie
if I can figure out how to get a webcam working on Linux >_< anyone have advice?
@kara Get the software, plug your webcam in, and hope for the best. Chances are it works out of the box, I think webcams are pretty standard now as opposed to requiring screwball drivers.
@skquinn unfortunately, as this pic shows (https://occult.camp/@kara/99515315607959450) it didn't work right away
I'll have to poke around later
@kara Could be a hardware issue. Have you tried adjusting all the settings that Cheese makes available?
@skquinn not yet, didn't have time before work. tomorrow!
@skquinn @kara if you're just trying to get that old one to work for the heck of it, maybe skim through this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/webcam_setup
@kara @skquinn if your webcam is really old, consider getting a newer one. most new ones use something called uvc (USB video class) but older webcams often used proprietary architecture for no good reason
