ps3eye and ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala

Updated to ubuntu 9.10 today. Yay! It looks very nice, and the only issues I had were with the darn wifi firmware.

Here are the steps I went through to get the ps3eye (playstation 3 eye) webcam to work under ubuntu.

First follow the directions on this site:

I do not know if all of these steps are critical. I will test that out after the next kernel upgrade. A few of the steps also need to be changes. For instance:
ln -s linux-2.6. linux
should be
ln -s linux-source-2.6. linux
and
cp /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6./Module.symvers /usr/src/linux
should be
cp /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.-generic/Module.symvers /usr/src/linux
at least they were for my machine (a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10)

I have to say, kaswy did some amazing work here. 1,000,000 points to kaswy for being awesome! After this the ps3eye camera should work. However...

The audio was broken for me. I went through a few steps, but I believe the critical steps were:
kill pulse audio: pulseaudio -k
remove pulseaudio configuration: rm ~/.pulse
regenerate pulseaudio configuration: sudo dpkg-reconfigure pulseaudio

To get pulseaudio to see the ps3eye microphones, plug in the camera, and then go to your sound preferences in ubuntu. Switch to the 'input' tab, and then select the playstation eye.

Also, as a final note, to get the camera working in skype, you need to install the libv4l-dev package and run skype using the following command:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype
