It's taken me a few years, but I finally got a webcam working in Ubuntu. Click for the steps I took to get it working. Next, text-to-speech.
Once I got it working I was amazed at how easy it would have been if I had the proper instructions. Even the Ubuntu site does not work well for this but here are the steps I followed to get it working.
Updated /etc/apt/sources.list with:
deb http://blognux.free.fr/debian unstable main
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install easycam2 webcam-server
I then selected yes and installed dependencies and ram the program:
sudo webcam-server -p 88
I then went to my browser and typed http://ipaddress:88, and I saw a snap shot.
