The relevant line is: 0x05CA 0x1810 R5U870 UVC HP Pavilion Webcam And when I did install it I used the instructions at https://launchpad.net/~r5u87x-loader/+archive/ppa which also shows the same info. This is the first time the webcam has worked in ubuntu for several years. And as I said it does work in cheese but not for the Flash 10.2.159.1 I am using (Flash required by BigBlueButton). Oh, and the Flash player settings shows it sees the webcam as "UVC Camera (05CA:1810) (V4L2)". -- Dazed_75 a.k.a.
