[Ryedale] How to install webcam in Ubuntu?

[Jamie Adams]

Hi Alex,

Sorry, I'm at a bit of a loss. It looks like everything is loading correctly.

Does the camera display a red light when you hit record? If you can
record, is it picking up audio? Is the green power light on?

Hopefully someone else will chip in. There is a lot of diagnostic info here.
