I am using ubuntu 9.1 but unable to install driver for my quantum webcam.I
have the cd consisting linux driver which is a .sh file.I tried many times
but unable to install driver.Please help me in urgent.

Ankit,

Please copy the directory/file to your computer and then try to run .sh file as root, using sudo. Also, you may need to chmod sh file to 755.

I am not sure if Quantum (Looks a Chinese model) is directly supported.

Also try to find any README file in the installation CD.

Keep all of us updated.

Can you attach that .sh file here? I want to see what is it doing.

<code>#

Ankit,
There is no attachment, can you post it again. or just open it in gedit and paste content here.

Ankit for this driver you need kernel source to be installed on your machine ( sometimes it works evenif source is not installed but having kernel header installed - it depends how the driver is designed, to be on safe side install kernel source & then go for it )
