Your device: JVC GC-A50
recognized by the system as
04f1:1001 Victor Company of Japan, Ltd
will works with Gspca kernel modules.

---- To install the webcam ( you must have an active internet connection ):
1) - We do all from terminal
2) - When the system ask you for password, give your user password, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter

Open a terminal from Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo aptget update; sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install camorama build-essential gspca-source linux-headers-$(uname -r)
cd /usr/src
sudo tar -xjvf gspca-source.tar.bz2
cd /usr/src/modules/gspca/
sudo make
sudo make install
modprobe gspca
camorama

If your cam color are no good open the: /etc/modprobe.d/options file

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options

and add this row at the end of file:
options gspca force_rgb=1

add the module gspca at the end of /etc/modules file, type:

sudo gedit /etc/modules

add a row at the end of file and type:
gspca

Save and exit and reboot your pc reopen Camorama from menu: Applications->Graphics->...

Give me some feedback
HTH

thank you my webcam installed, but i cant make good my camera color.

Please play with module load option:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options

add or change the force_rgb value put it to 1 or 0

options gspca force_rgb=1

When you change this value you need to unload and reload kernel modules with different options
You can do this using command line instructions, but rebooting the pc do all automatically... ;-)

Hope this helps

in this file
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options
type like this:
# Enable double-buffering so gstreamer et. al. work
options quickcam compatible=2

# Default hostap to managed mode
options hostap_pci iw_mode=2
options hostap_cs iw_mode=2
that's all & i don't know what can i do for correct the wrong.
thank you again.

On the first answer there is the solution i copy and paste the rows:

If your cam color are no good open the: /etc/modprobe.d/options file

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options

and add this row at the end of file:
options gspca force_rgb=1

Hope this helps
