I am new to Linux, and have started using Ubuntu 9.10. everything seem to be in place except for the Web Cam. i think it is not being identified by my OS. i have tried Ekiga, but still of no use. i am using a Compaq Laptop with an inbuilt camera.
View 1 RepliesI run Ubuntu 10.04 on a Sony FZ-VGN15C Laptop. On start-up of Ubuntu I get two error messages including '...Video : Failed...' (the message is too fast to be read completely) This might relate to the fact that my built in camera does not work with Skype or Cheese Webcam Booth. The webcam type is VGP-VCC4 by RICOH.

Is there any alternative camera for my laptop to have similar or much better then the one in iphone? So that i can use it from my laptop, but have very sharp HD quality with maximum megapixel + highest frame per second.
I have a lenovo 7757 model which has an inbuilt camera. I have FC9 working on it. However I cannot use the camera. How do I enable it? If someone could point me to a driver if it needs to be installed.

This laptop only runs Ubuntu as I removed Windows when I got it home new from the shop a few years back. Haven't tried to get the webcam working until now. I have downloaded "Cheese" and when I run it I get the message No Device Found.I have also tried gstreamer-properties in a terminal and get the message video for linux 2 (v4l2): Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'
is it a lost cause to get my webcam working?
I have installed opensuse 11.4 in my lenovo ideapad G460. But, I am not being able to make the inbuilt microphone work. It does not record anything and also does not work in skype. I am not that expert with linux. I looked at different posts in this forum regarding microphone detection problem, bit could not follow. How to setting up my inbuilt microphone?

I have trying to figure out for the past two weeks why the internal speakers are not working with Ubuntu 10.04.

How to resolve the sound issues on ubuntu 10.04 with laptop compaq 610?
I'm new to linux and have an old laptop did clean reinstall windows 98 but no updates, and now burnt iso image to cd on other pc and used it to try running puppy linux 3.01 on the compaq armada laptop (spec 56.0MB RAM, AMD-K6(tm)-III Processor used space 645MB free 3.80GB). I chose this older version as I think I'd read that this is more suitable for older slow computers.
I am interested in running linux fully without windows 98 or with it. Running from CD I have to select Xvesa I think as Xorg didn't seem to work. Tried partitioning but in GParted find myself unable to amend the size of partitions - got yellow exclamation mark next to the partitions. What I see is: greyed out unallocated 7.38MB, then /dev/hda1 yellow exclamation mark filesystem unknown 206.72MB, /dev/hda2 yellow exclamation fat32 4.45GB.
It does not allow resizing when I try. Associated with the yellow exclamation marks is the warning "unable to read the contents of this filesystem! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. I have done a defragment of C in windows already. (Also haven't been able to connect to internet on linnux with my wireless card.)
I am new to Linux. I would like to activate my on board laptop camera. I thing I need the driver, but don't know which driver or where to get it. I am running Ubuntu 10.04, on a system 76 laptop.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Compaq R4000 laptop with 2GB of RAM, running Ubuntu Linux 9.10. It is randomly locking up on me, approximately once every two days. I have a second partition with Windows XP Home installed, and I have had the system lock up in XP as well, meaning I believe this is a hardware issue. I have run two passes of Memtest86+ with no errors.The system has a fan that has died, so I initially suspected overheating. However the system just locked up on me while I was in the middle of typing a script to warn me / shut down if the temperature was too high. When the lockup happened the temperature was 88°F, so I am now starting to believe that may not be the issue.When the system locks up, I cannot SSH in nor ping it. Nothing shows in syslog when I reboot. I have configured it to send syslog messages to a local server as well and no messages appear on that server when the lockup happens.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm having some problems with Ubuntu 10.04 64bit finding my digital camera (Nikon CoolPix S4000). For whatever reason, when I plug in the camera via USB connection, Ubuntu will not detect it. The odd thing is that on my old Ubuntu 9.04 32bit install my camera was detected fine (it appeared as an icon on the desktop, akin to a flashdrive or any other mounted drive).
View 7 Replies View RelatedSince I upgraded to 10.10 my Canon camera is not detected when I plug it in.
This happened a few years ago and I was able to downgrade libgphoto2, but when I tried that this time I ran into dependency problems. When I returned to the version that comes with 10.10 it worked once then failed ever since.
I installed skype on my linux distribution (Linux singh-VGN-CR35G-L 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux) but when i make video calls the camera doesnt work. I checked with the lsusb command ...it confirmed the availability...even when i Tried to run Cheese..it gave me error "No device found"
I installed luvcview and when I Tried to run it...it gave me following error....

My previous laptop died (HD failure, etc.) so I just put F15/LXDE on a Dell Latitude D610. All updates applied. I inserted my Canon Powershot A480 in a USB port, but o/s doesn't seem to react. No desktop icon, no FileManager presence, nothing in /media folder. Other USB devices are detected, mounted and recognized (external HD, memory stick, etc.), but not the camera. what I should do to get the camera recognized?
Edit: DigiKam and Digikam libs are installed and system was rebooted. Still no camera detection.
I am a newbie. I have a Dell Vostro 2510 running XP. I have virtualbox and installed ubuntu 10.10 aS guest.
The one issue I seem to have is i cannot get my webcam to work. I searched everywheres for some tips on what do to, but nothing seems to work.
I installed both Cheese and Skype. The camera is not even detected.
Have logitech camera, seems to be detected initially, but dropped later for some reason.

new Compaq 510 laptop in which we installed Ubuntu 10.04. When Wireless is switched on it shows the available networks but won't connect. It connected on a few occasions but still we can't browse. The proxy settings are correct.Will installing wireless drivers help? If so, where can we find them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using Ubuntu for years. I just bought a new laptop - HP Compaq 621. Hardware settings:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6570 2.10GHz
Memory: 1GB
ROM Date & revision: 01/07/2011, 68PVI Ver. F.09
Video BIOS Revision: ATI 01/05/2011
I followed exactly what is described on Ubuntu [URL] Believe me, I burned image (not .iso data) to CD, but BIOS won't boot from the Ubuntu bootable CD. I also created a USB stick, again BIOS won't boot from the Ubuntu bootable USB (I selected to boot from USB first) stick. I tried with Desktop 10.10 32bit, 10.10 64bit, 10.04 32bit, and 10.04 64bit.
I also tried with my old Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 64bit bootable CD, which my very old Compaq Laptop installed. It allows me to see the menu. I selected "Safe mode" to install Ubuntu. But it gives me the error message: "udevd-event [1412] run_program /sbin/modprobe"
how I can install Ubuntu on my HP Compaq 621 Laptop?
This device doesn't automount, doesn't show in KDE 4's device notifier, and I can't mount this camera manually because it doesn't appear to get assigned to a device node. Any known solutions? It worked in Slackware 12.2, but not in 13.0 or 13.1.

I'm trying to install Lubuntu 11.04 CD on a Compaq Presario M2000 Laptop to replace XP.
Processor: Intel Pentium Celeron M
RAM: 256mb
Existing O/S XP SP3 (boots & runs but is very slow)
Hard Drive 40GB (28Gb free)
Installation hangs about 1 minute after selecting language in both try Lubuntu & install Lubuntu modes. Have also left the laptop running all night to see if it was just a slow install. Have tried various other disks (Xbuntu, Puppy, Mint, Lubuntu 10.04), which have worked on other PC/laptops ok, but all stall after the language settings. Have tried burning the Lunbuntu iso with both Windows & Ubuntu at slow speeds & have verified the burnt iso. The laptop BIOS cannot be set to boot from usb, so an external CD or USB stick installation may not work? The BIOS has been updated to the latest one on the Compaq web site this morning. Although I have installed a few flavours of Linux on various hardware, I'm still a real Linux newbie. Can Lubuntu be installed within Windows, but still format the hard drive to ext2/3 ?
New member here. Was introduced to Ubuntu by the IT guy at my last place of work and liked it so much, I ran WUBI on my laptop for a couple of months before taking the plunge and today fully converting my Compaq Presario CQ56 Laptop to the full Ubuntu OS.
The only issue I have is I have no sound whatsoever. I have seen some suggestions where you should check the hardware drivers and when I do that the only driver that appears is for ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. It also says this driver is active and currently in use.
So, can anyone else offer some help. I love the system and the way it does everything but it needs sound. Incidentally when I ran WUBI (while Windows 7 was on there) I did not have a problem with the sound!
I got a laptop from my customer whose make/model is Compaq nx9000 business notebook. It has NIC card of 10/100 Mbps. As per my customer feedback, its was working fine but from last week it shows and connects on 10Mbps. I tried to connect the laptop with another laptop and PC as well with a crossover cable but it showing the same speed. Customer having a gigabit switch an their end, when they connect it in the network, atfirst it displays the network status in the systray that it continouly connecting and disconnecting to/from network. After couple of minutes it remains on 10 Mbps. Scan the laptop for virus using Symantec, avast, macafee etc. But still the problem persist.

I installed a 1GB PC2700 SODIMM in my Compaq R3000 Athlon 64 laptop.
I am currently running Mint 7 (32 bit), 2.6.28-11-generic.
I removed one of my two 256MB sticks and installed the new 1GB stick.
When I installed the memory, the BIOS was able to recognize it, saying I had 1.25 GB of memory.
However, Linux refused to boot.
When I did a Memtest, I got nothing - it scanned the 768k of system memory in a fraction of a second, and then rebooted. It couldn't see either my new 1GB stick or my old 256MB stick.
Did I install the wrong type of RAM? Was the stick invalid?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've installed CENTOS 5.3 on my laptop, on dual boot with windows xp. The problem is that my wireless network manager doesn't find any networks. Another laptop with fedora 10 installed finds the network, so the problem is not the network. I guess it's a problem with the wireless driver / firmware, as i had this problem on fedora some time ago, and i've solved installing the firmware. Now i've installed the firmware, i rebooted, and it still doesn't find any network.
