I can’t understand the last line… I also got trouble with Adobe Flsah Square flash 64 bits and it may be related to it. :’(
I do not know where looking for. Here are the output of Webkam and Wxcam.

Cheese can’t find the webcam.

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Please, please, do not use QUOTE, but CODE around computer text: Posting in Code Tags - A Guide.

Sorry. I won’t do it again.

Do you have the 32-bit compatibility libraries installed?

I note this page states “quickcam” driver is what is needed: Non-UVC webcams — QuickCam Team

Here is an old thread on this webcam (you can find it if you search for “08f0” on our forum ! How to install logitech Quickcam E2500

Take a look at post #17 in that above thread, where all they claim they did was type (with root permissions):

modprobe -r gspca_stv06xx
modprobe quickcam_messenger
