SIGHBALLS.
okay, I have been trying to figure this out for two days. I am kind of a noob, so bear with me. I'm on Ubuntu trying to get my cam set up and working with Cam4 temporarly(yes, I am a cam girl, I know, I know lol).
I've installed and re-installed flash many times on my laptop (Philco 14d-p744lm)
When I use a website that uses the webcam in Flash, for example, Chatroulette or Omegle, and i click on "allow" to allow my webcam to turn on, it doesn't do anything.
This does not happen in Windows 7. What do I need to install/use to make my laptop webcam work with Flash?
weirded out.
I have Acer Aspire 5515 series laptop which has webcam built-in.
When i open cheese - it says "no device found".
camorama says: "Could not connect to video device. Please check connection".
Neither lspci nor lsusb contain any records that can be webcam.....
Just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my new laptop. Everything seems to work well, the touchpad seems a little unresponsive when it come to tap clicking but, overall OK.
the only piece of hardware that has failed to function totally is the built in mic. I've installed 'Cheese' and the webcam works ok but no sound.
I have a Acer Aspire 5715z Laptop. Which package/application have the correct driver for my integrated webcam?
I found packages such as: camE-1.9-15(i686), camorama-0.19-2....
Thank you, in advance

I got a laptop (core 2 duo, 2 GB ram) without a webcam and using Ubuntu v. 12.10 OS. As I wish to make skype video calls with my Family I wish to buy a webcam. My budget is low, so I can't spent a lot on it. As I haven't found any webcam suggestions for the Ubuntu 12.10 OS, but only for earlier OS versions, could you suggest me a webcam type(s) that I could use for skype v.
Wondering if some one can point me toward ubuntu drivers that will work with an acer aspire's web cam, since I have put ubuntu 9.04 on this machine the web cam does not work or can I activate it, a good indication that there is a problem is the green led that indicates the webcam is active is always on.I have tried a couple of drivers that are available from other open source driver sites but none
a friend gave me his Gateway laptop after replacing it. the HDD was shot so i replaced it with a working HDD from an Acer netbook. i know hardware wise its not importrant and the HDD will work fine. my issue is that because of the swap i cant get it to start up. i have the windows 7 .iso and im trying to create a usb installer so i can get the laptop up and running.

My guide on how to make a webcam server has had a lot of feedback and so I decided to give two other methods to achieve it with two different software webcam-server and ZoneMinder Webcam-server is absolutely the easiest way to show on the net what is seen from your webcam, the software is very stable (Ive just installed Ubuntu, and shows the date 2004) is based on Java and to
