Re: Lubuntu doesn't seem to recognize IOmega Buz capture card

Hallo,

Some thought's about what you try to accomplish. Sorry for the longer 
delay.

Which card do you actually want to use ? I don't know the type by the 
output of lspci.

Which kernel does the distribution use ? (uname -a)

That is the correct part of the documentation.

If I understand the text correct you should try to load the driver 
manually, and if that works you create the file so you don't need to do 
everything manually.

Depending on the kernel your distribution uses it can be that the driver 
is in the staging area. And not available by default.
Newer Kernel like 4.x might have that problem. So if possible use a 
older distribution using a kernel 3.x or 2.6.x Also the mjpegtools and 
lavrec need oss, and have no native support for alsa means that 
recording sound can be tricky.
