[solved] My webcam does not work (ID 05c8:036e Cheng Uei Precision)

Hi, fswebcam gives me:

[xan@argonia ~]$ fswebcam 
--- Opening /dev/video0...
Trying source module v4l2...
Error opening device: /dev/video0
open: Permission denied
Trying source module v4l1...
Error opening device: /dev/video0
open: Permission denied
Unable to find a source module that can read /dev/video0.
[xan@argonia ~]$   

The lsusb gives me:

[xan@argonia ~]$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

My web cam is Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co.

What can I do for it works?

Thanks  in advance,

From the error message that you posted, you don't have read permissions on /dev/video0 (aka your webcam possibly).

So if you do

ls -l /dev/video0

my guess is that it's set for root root.
Is the user that you login with in the video group?  If not put yourself into the video group, and change the group for /dev/video0 to video, and then log out and log back in.

[xan@argonia ~]$ ls -l /dev/video0 
crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Aug  3  2050 /dev/video0

It seems you're right.
