I'm new to ubuntu, literally installed it yesterday, but enjoying it so far!
Except for this issue with the webcam, which is not working at all. I've been through the questions and answers here, and elsewhere, to no avail.
The webcam appears to be showing with lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05ca:1830 Ricoh Co., Ltd Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2 [R5U870]
The kernel version is: 3.11.0-19-generic
I've tried installing the r5u87x but that hasn't worked - I'm pretty sure I need the r5u870.
So I tried that here but I get this fatal error:
linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory
nopalita@picante:~/r5u870$ make
make -C /lib/modules/3.11.0-19-generic/build M=/home/nopalita/r5u870 V=0 modules

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.11.0-19-generic'
make: *** [all] Error 2
And after a fresh install of 12.04, and following the instructions the comments below (which seemed to install ok), using "sudo modprobe r5u870" I now get an error saying that the module cannot be found? FATAL: Module r5u870 not found. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7234919/
I'm now completely out of ideas. Any suggestions?
