Hi again. I have an old webcam which works great while using guvcview.
I have installed the Ivideon server and while trying to add the camera it doesn't find it.
I have read that I need to chown /dev/video0 to the same user:group as the one running Ivideon server.
lsusb gives me:
Bus 002 Device 082: ID 041e:403c Creative Technology, Ltd Webcam Live! Ultra
How do I accomplish this?
Gracias!

Hi @Ivan Diaz
Are you using LL 4.0, 4.2? Cause according to ivideon server site and I quote We officially support:
Debian 7
Debian 8
Debian 9
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Ubuntu 17.10
Since LL 4.0, 4.2 are based on Ubuntu 18.XX which as stated above isn't supported, I think this might be the reason it doesn't find your device. Then again I don't use ivideon server so I'm not sure about this but...Here's the link https://www.ivideon.com/ivideon-server-linux/ so you take a look at it. By the way, there are some install intructions too, so you might try that and see if it works.
Hope this helps! :)
