Can't access Logitech C930e (webcam) under Ubuntu with SimpleCV












5















Ubuntu won't recognize my new Logitech C930e webcam fully. Guvcview does (see below). Logitech says it supports UVC 1.5.



I found:
http://sourceforge.net/p/linux-uvc/mailman/message/31645720/



Why isn't it integrated in Ubuntu 14.04 (cheese app)?



I need this camera for SimpleCV (which won't recognize it as well).



I figured out:



cam = Camera(0)  // -> for the internal notebook (edge 130) webcam
cam = Camera(1) // -> for the Logitech C930e


I receive following errors:



SimpleCV:1> cam = Camera(1)
VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument
VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument
VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument
VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument
VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument

and with an openCV command:
