Webcam and Linux (Latest versions of Ubuntu)
When following the instructions given on the page Setting up a webcam in Repetier-Server for Linux and you get to Step 4 and need to run "cmake -G "Unix Makefiles", if you look at the out put you'll see and error that it can not find the OpenCV packages. The make will NOT complete the install and cameras will not function.
I followed these instructions to install OpenCV: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-opencv-on-ubuntu-20-04/
Once that is done, the rest of the steps continue as they should and webcams work as expected. I've had to do this a few times since I think 22.10. I figured it was time I posted something.
