Does it work with Linux? Has anyone tried this cam with Fedora Core 5?

Generic Usb-Video-Class drivers are implemented by the Linux UVC kernel drivers available here: **https://linux-uvc.berlios.de/** This work appears to be in Alpha-stage development: you'll need to checkout the code from their source control (subversion).More technical information about UVC drivers can be found here: *http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs*

It does not work with Linux at this time. Logitech has *never* been open-source friendly, and likely never will, due to managerial bullsh** as usual.

Did you ever find out if this was compatible with Linux? I see the v1 is listed, but can't find anything on the v2.

Yup. Used it with Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Linux has low-latency drivers built-in, so you're good to go.

Have had no driver issues in any version of linux I've used on this. That includes Ubuntu, Mint and Centos 7 so far. I suspect it will work with any recent version of linux.

Hello realmrealm,We do not recommend to use it with Linux. As the listing description shows, it supports Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 and only for stable performance.Anker Team1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)

The stripped down Linux it ships with will let it boot but is not otherwise useful. I installed Fedora 20 desktop with the help of a USB connected DVD drive. I use it daily and am very pleased with it. I think that it is an outstanding value. I do use a wireless trackball to make up for the integrated mousepad which is not outstanding.

A lot is going to depend on your kernel version (regardless of what distro you're running), and the actual hardware you're using (video card, monitor, etc). Having said that, I'm currently using this KVM to switch between a desktop running Fedora 18 and a laptop/docking station that's running Fedora 19 and haven't run into any showstoppers yet. Had some issues with screen resolution when I tried to replace the OOTB Nvidia video drivers with the proprietary versions, and there are some keyboard shortcuts in the documentation that I found to be glaringly absent (see my review of the product for details), but none of the issues were big enough that I couldn't use the product.

Yes, this device will work with any Linux system that has USB HID drivers installed. These drivers are normally installed by default. The device worked perfectly with my Arch Linux/KDE system.

Yes it works with Linux if you can find the driver and it allows you to store you 2 hands but you can swap some of yours for someone elses

Sorry, but I have never used Linux so I couldn't tell you. But I will say that the IR receiver was a little finicky, but overall worked, with some delay.

Hi Dan: I got the webcam to work for my Mom but there was no microphone to talk on SKYPE.My Mom has Windows 7; sorry we don't have Linux.Take care, Rita

It is off the shelf hardware. It should work with Linux distributions AFAIK. You can build your own for slightly cheaper, but not too much cheaper. For the extra money, you do get warranty support on the hardware as well as having it tested and burnt in. That was worth my mine for having the piece of mind. Search for the free as mini reviews and you can get a breakdown of the hardware to check compatibility.

Thanks, I went ahead and bought it... it works just fine with my Red Hat Linux box, but it does require reformatting... I'm sure it would work just fine with most other Linux distros too.

I got it to work with Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 and VLC. It appears as a "video camera" (not "TV - analog"), and in my case, /dev/video1 with the audio device set as hw:1,0 (the video device name and audio name will vary with your computer)

Yes, that's exactly what we used it for. used PING to image laptops. Booted to Linux

Yes, except the touchpad it works great, I highly recommend it.You will need a recent kernel to get the touchpad to work (3.14 and up I believe), but even then it's not working that good at this point, and notably doesn't come back after a suspend/resume.I have been running Fedora 20 (3.15.x kernel) on it for more than a month and have not noticed any instability besides that.

Camera should work with any OS, I use it with my Mac using a program called Security Spy, and the camera should work fine with linux software like ZoneMinder, and it can also be setup to store video or pictures to an internal memory card(not included), as well as upload to a server via FTP, which would be an easy way to dump captured files to a linux machine if you don't want to run separate software for advanced features.
