**Logitech Brio MX webcam (angle) control under Linux Mint**

TL;DR

Webcams (at least 2 Logitech’s I tested) just work under Linux Mint (plug&play). I was looking for a software to adjust the angle of the webcam and Cameractrls just work, too.

What was the issue – the angle

The built-in webcam in my Lenovo Yoga is just … garbage, so I was using / occasionally borrowing my sons Logitech Streamcam for videoconferencing. While Streamcam works just great for videoconferencing, I received strong hints from him: just buy your own webcam, old man.

So I did. I didn’t research much, I just choose Logitech Brio MX. I was a bit skeptical because of some forum posts that it has issues under Linux.

But it worked right away as I plugged it in. Nice picture, even a bit better as Streamcam’s, but there was an issue. The angle of the picture was too wide. It captured me and half of the room. I didn’t want that.

I read the cam allows adjusting the view angle, but only using Logitech’s software, which does not run under Linux.

After a bit of searching, I found 2 programs that can be used to adjust webcam settings: Guvcview and Cameractrls. The picture below shows them side-by-side:

As you can see in the right window, Cameractrls allow adjusting the view angle (60-78-90 for my cam).

Great.

What’s even better, the settings persist across the OS – when I fired up Element, Teams (yeah, I know) or Meet video conferencing program, it kept the settings from CameraCtrls.

The best thing is I didn’t need to mess with drivers or Logitech’s bloatware. Another win for Linux.

https://lists.riscv.org/g/software/message/174

I would add after 1 or 2 weeks of testing that, Most JIT are missing, not only Lua (there is already a patch for RV32), PCRE, php engine, mb_strings (but they can all be used without it).

Other missing libs: libgsl25 (GNU Scientific Library), needed by Hugin, and Darktable (there is still rawtherapee). #ObsStudio is missing too.

On the sound design part, SuperCollider is missing.

On the (retrocomputer/arcade/console) emulator side missing are: openmsx, but mame, libretro (including bsnes, beetle-psx/vb/pce, desmume, etc...) are here. Missing in libretro are snes9x, and nestopia (closed source)
