i am totally new to ROS and SLAM ,just started this like 2 weeks ago.i am using ubuntu 14.04 + ROS indigo

my problem is that.when i am using ROS to launch the SLAM software.I type in

 rosrun lsd_slam_core live_slam /image:=image_raw _calib:=<your path>/LSD_room/cameraCalibration.cfg

and the laptop always want to launch the internal camera(video0),but actually i want to use the external camera (Logitech C920)(video1).what i want to do is that i want to deactivate the internal camera.so i type in

sudo rm /dev/video0

to deactivate the internal camera and i had only one external camera now.after that i tried again the

rosrun lsd_slam_core live_slam /image:=image_raw _calib:=<your path>/LSD_room/cameraCalibration.cfg

now came something weird.

yukan@yukan-TP300LA:~/rosbuild_ws/package_dir$ ls /dev/video*
/dev/video1
yukan@yukan-TP300LA:~/rosbuild_ws/package_dir$ rosrun uvc_camera
uvc_camera_node device:=/dev/video1

I take a close look at the response ,it seems to me that the ROS was always trying to communicate with video0,am I the only one who has feeling like this? but i need it to be video1 for god sake. I am totally newbee and anyhelp will be really appreciated.
