My aspire 4745 laptop has a in-built webcam, so i installed Cheese to use it. Cheese starts and the webcam works at first instance. But it doesnot shows any thumbnails for taken pictures nor it saves any picture (I have checked everywhere for the images, inside and beyond my home folder). I am lost - if the wen cam can take a picture, why cannot save it?
View 6 RepliesOn my new Fedora 15 installation the Cheese application crashes when I start it with the following error message:

Note that my web camera works properly when doing the video for linux gstreamer-properties test as well as with Skype. I have the NVIDIA driver installed from RPM Fusion.
For some reason while Cheese will take photos with my webcam there's no photo stream and it doesn't save photos to my /home/jonquil/Pictures/Webcam directory. Does anyone know of a way to fix this, or is there another application I can use to take photos?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was impressed with the hardware detection in Fedora -- it picked up my wireless & webcam right out of the box. The odd thing is, that Fedora picked up the webcam right away, and it worked perfectly in Cheese (I was able to take both photos & video), but when I try to use it in Skype all I get is green "snow". The webcam is a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running GNOME on Fedora 11. My daughter is shortly due to take possession of a digital SLR camera - a Canon EOS 400D. Apparently it comes with a USB cable. I know very little of photography, or of image stuff on Linux, so I have a few questions: Will I be able to connect it to my Linux box and import the images? Is gthumb-importer the appropriate application for this? Is there better? Are the images jpegs, or something else? I only need to copy the images to the laptop and to be able to view them - I don't need to edit them or any such.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI own Fedora Core 12 and an HP scanner. I want to make digital copies of all the pictures I took a few years ago. I have a lot so I tried scanning five at a time thinking I could cut and paste into smaller images like with MS Paint on Windows. HPLIP 3.9.12 wouldn't let me modify the scans so I tried GIMP 2.6.10. GIMP 2.6.10 is a nightmare! When I opened my scan of five pictures I had trouble opening a new image. Then I had to specify the size of the new image. The when I cut and pasted I couldn't rotate. Then when I figured out how to rotate my image was too small.
Then I tried scanning just one picture but HPLIP left a lot of blank space. I tried cropping out the blank space with GIMP but the image size was the same with the blank space. I don't want to post photos to Flickr that are mostly empty space.I wish I could show you examples but the forum won't let me post them.Any ideas or suggestions for a program for Fedora Core 12 that's got the functions and features of MS Paint?

So I've set up a Samba server through the gui. When I've labeled my shares as accessible to everyone, I can get to it no problem. However, when I tie it down to a specific samba user, I can't.

I've been scanning in large numbers of old photos for a friend, and up until now, xsane has worked like a charm. Today, however, it's spitting at me. If I try to select a file path in advance, and just save the images, it fails, suggesting that a link exists. (No, I'm putting them directly into the directory in question; no links involved.) I have to bring up the image in the viewer, select Save and select the path for each and every photo involved. Not only that, if I try using the file selection box to show xsane where I want things stored, it doesn't put the path into the box; I have to type it in myself. Considering that I have the best part of a hundred photos to scan, this isn't exactly an option. Does anybody have an idea what's gotten mungged, or how to unmung it?

The Fukushima HP has been officially retired. In it's place there now labours a Toshiba R830-8300. And therein lies a host of problems. The Fuku-HP ran an AMD Turion 64 dual core. The R830 runs an i5-2520M The Fuku-HP ran an Nvidia GeForce 7350m. The R830 runs runs an [8086:126] ??? Dunno what is. But that's what Hardware Lister gives me on the VGA controller) I don't want (for several reasons outlined below) to have to re-install F15.Regardless of all arguments to the contrary, Gnome 3 is a time-consuming PITA to get tweaked into any resemblance of useability Neither the F14 nor the F15 liveCDs will boot to GUI on this laptop to allow a new installation. Not exactly sure what's up with that. I've got a ton of tweaks and data on/in the existing install that I do not wish to lose.
I know for a fact that both Linux and Compiz (acceleration) work peachy keen fine on this box. The second partition has been given over to MINT-11, and works swimmingly!
I have also been able to get to GUI in the F15 install this morning, by the expedience of the following:editing the GRUB kernel line to remove references to nouveau, Nvidia and any mode setting, and booting into Runlevel 3 as root. drilling into X11, and killing xorg.conf, and xorg.conf.d. logging out, back in as myself, and then running startx.
The rub lies in the fact that Gnome-shell fails to load, and drops me back to fallback mode.
So, my goal is to tweak the existing install to run normally on this Toshiba i5. And I'm afraid that's gonna take bigger brains than I have readily available on a Sunday morning after not-enough sleep. (Or any other day of the week with enough sleep.)
I am therefore, at the mercy of the more learned than I.
When my computer shuts down, I always get a long error message from the kernel. It's the very last thing the computer does and I can't even use the keyboard, since the system is halted. I wanted to read it more carefully (it's very long and doesn't fit the screen) and file a bug report against the kernel with it. But for that, I needed to save all that text in a file.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop with a built-in webcam. I installed Cheese months ago and it worked fine then -- pics, videos, the works.
Now, after some updates recommended by Canonical, Cheese is telling me that it can't find the webcam. I tried dumping it an reinstalling, but to no avail.
Anyone out there know what's going on? Did the updates knock out a hardware driver?
