Install Logitech Quickcam E 3500 Plus on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
Sponsored Links
Today I bought new webcam, Logitech Quickcam E3500 Plus, which according to this resource, it’s works out of the box on Skype. Without installing any drivers, I start test it on Camorama, unfortunately, it won’t work, the message showing that my webcam isn’t attached yet, the fact is I already attach it to my computer.
Then I tested on Ekiga, Skype and Kopete, it’s all works like charm. Here is the screenshot:
Then, I try searching for webcam manager application. I try many software but the most favorite one for me is wxcam. Why wxcam? Because this application has a lot of features and the recording tools works perfectly. You can download this application here.
Here are wxcam screenshot:
Here is Logitech Webcam E3500 Plus dos box

I have gone and bought a Logitech E 3500, because of the positive reports about it in Ubuntu linux. My wife and I both have family far away and we use skype to keep in contact.
It is unfortunate that some companies insist on only supporting Windows (like Logitech), but at least it seems Logitech is offering assistance to the linux webcam driver programmers. I must add that this assistance is not good enough though and any hardware I buy I make linux support the priority as that is what I choose to use! The only reason I bought this webcam is that is already has open-source support and I couldn’t find another available webcam with maker support.
By the way, if anybody is reading this that likes using Linux (and even if you dont use it but want to help): Please make a point of asking salespeople in computer shops about hardware supported for linux, send mail to hardware manufacturers asking which of their products is supported for linux! This is the only way to wake them up, since many users of linux simply buy hardware and then use it in linux…These manufacturers think there is no market in linux, because hardly anybody is telling them they are using the products in linux….Demand Support! It won’t be hard for them to deliver if they choose to!

@Astrid
Have you search in Google already? I check my Logitech E 3500 box and didn’t find anything related to Mac drivers.

Hi,
I went and bought this guy, also because of the same resource you referred to.
When installing it - is it necessary to install via the CD?
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 so the CD doesn’t run automatically upon putting it in the CD drive.
Thanks

Hi Edward,
You don’t need to install the driver via CD, just plug your cam and Ubuntu 8.04 will automatically detect it as webcam. Go to skype > options > video devices > test, your cam should work, at leats that’s what I’ve done for my machine.
