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.
After installing some must have apps on Ubuntu 11.10, you might have missed few things e.g if you’re using webcam either on Desktop/PC using USB (or other port) or in laptop or netbook, you need to install the driver software for your webcam, because it is very likely that your webcam manufacturer doesn’t supply driver software for Linux based OS such as Ubuntu (e.g I’m using Lo
Hello,
I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my computer and am completely new to Linux. I downloaded Skype and have it working now, but I'm unable to turn on my webcam. I went to testmycam.com and it wasn't detecting that I had a webcam there either.
I have webcam Genius Eye 312, and i try to get it to work properly on Ubuntu 11.10.
Cheese recognize webcam, but Skype don't, and that is most important, i need it for Skype and Gtalk. How to configure/fix that bug ?
i tried with
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
- that work in 11.04 but here in 11.10... nope
I just bought a webcam Microsoft HD-3000 and ubuntu doesn't automatically detect the webcam.
Can someone point me to a resource where I can download the driver? A tutorial on how to install and configure the webcam would be really usefull?
I installed cheese but the image is really bad.
Thank you
Hello,I'm relatively new to Crunchbang and loving it. However, having one problem. I find I need Skype. I have installed the software. I have bought myself a webcam - Creative Chat HD720p. I run Chrunchbang in VirtualBox on a Windows host. I know that the webcam works on Windows.Skype does not detect any webcam. I have installed v4l libraries.
Hi,
i use Logitech Webcam C905 the webcam working fine but the webcam mic don't t work with skype
i use ubuntu 11.04
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?
This is making me crazy.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, Skype 4.1.0.20 doesn't allow me to use the webcam in calls anymore.
