When I plug the webcam in (usb), the led starts to shine, indicating that it is filming. When I use a program (XSane for example) and click the 'scan' button, the led turns off! It seems that the cam works when it shouldn't, and vice versa.

Sometime after I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 I've been having trouble with my wireless network connection.It will usually log on to the network, then disconnect a shortly after. Then try to connect again, usually successfully, then it cuts off again. Then connects again, then disconnects. FWIW, ubuntu 9.10 works on a different machine pretty consistently, so I don't think its a problem with the router.

I am using the routing multiple upstream providers solution available on internet using iproute and gwping script. It works great but the problem I am facing is;
Code:
ip route add 192.168.15.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.15.2 table ptcl
ip route add default via 192.168.15.1 table ptcl
ip route add 192.168.16.0/24 dev eth2 src 192.168.16.2 table nayatel
ip route add default via 192.168.16.1 table nayatel

I'm running a Source Dedicated Server on my Ubuntu laptop, and to connect to it via external IP from other computers in the network I need to enable loopback in my router.This was working fine, but then I disconnected my laptop for a few days, and when I came back the wireless stopped working on my Xbox. I reset the router to factory defaults, and then setup everything again. It was all working fine until I enabled loopback again and power cycled my router. Now every time I do that, the internet on Ubuntu stops working and the wireless on the Xbox stops working.
Edit: You can ignore this I guess. It seems I was actually DISABLING loopback by enabling that router option, which I guess caused this. Strange, because the first time enabling this option was the only way to get my external ip to work. Oh well, everything is fine now.

I have a logitech c310 webcam. When I open cheese, I get a blank. Also my wifi adapter stops working - it doesn't show up on lsusb anymore. How do I fix this? How do I get both my wifi adapter and camera to work at the same time and how do I get my webcam to work? The adapter is D-Link DWA-125. Here are the outputs for lsusb:

Slackware 13.0, dell vostro 1320. When I start up the laptop without the ac charger plugged in the keyboard doesn't work. This is the case when booting into runlevel 3 and 4. Then after restarting 3 or 4 times and getting sick of it, i plug the charger in, restart, get to the login screen and confirm that the keyboard works, unplug the charger and it's all good. I ssh into the laptop when the keyboard is not working and restart hald but it doesn't help. Btw, tried ubuntu and the problem wasn't there.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat 64-bit on my desktop with a wired internet connection (with no firewall). For the past 2 days, I have observed that1. Firefox randomly throws up errors like "Problem loading page" whenever I click on a hyperlink. When I click on Reload, the page loads up just fine. This has been happening a lot recently..and I do not remember updating anything consciously. By the way, ipv6 is disabled in Firefox.2. The network stops working all of a sudden (usually indicated by the Firefox error). The Autho Eth0 indication is active, but I am unable to connect to any external machine.
3. Needless to say, this error is manifesting itself in apt-get as well. I get "something wicked happened" errors all the time, and am unable to download or install anything.That this is not a problem with the ISP is obvious because I also have Windows (from which I'm typing this, ironically), which is able to access the internet.Is this a bug in Ubuntu 10.10?

I am on a toshiba laptop with a wireless internet connection, I have recently purchased a logitech pro 9000 webcam , I plan on using it for skype. So the wifi is working fine, I plug in the usb webcam and all of the sudden I just lose connection and my keyring doesn't even remember the wep key for my wifi. I am amateur with linux based system but I have taken a operation system class so I know some stuff and can follow instructions quite well.

I had been asking how to enable Ctrl-Alt-Del to call the gnome Logout/Poweroff or whatever is the hidden name of the program to logout from the GUI in a Hardy system.
Today I discovered that once logged in the GUI, it stared enabled but, after three or four succesive calls (or a certain amount of time), it became disabled.
I don't know whether the ouput of dmesg and syslog give a clue. There's a strange interrupt.
Code:
$ dmesg|tail
[ 34.323721] apm: BIOS not found.
[ 34.462563] sky2 eth0: enabling interface
[ 34.466384] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

I'm installing slack 13.0 in a Dell 2350 for a friend. once installed, it works ok for a while then within some somewhat random period of time, just plain locks up. the keyboard stops working, the mouse cursor still moves, but there is no response from mouse clicks. i was ssh'ed into the machine one of these times to see if i could read the logs during a lockup. the machine stopped responding to the ssh session as well (actually i had an instance of mc running at the time, and the machine still responded to it. when i exited mc, i was stuck in console never-never land). the logs show absolutely nothing. /etc/messages keeps showing MARK long after the lockup. all other logs are not updated since boot. this machine has an i810 chipset, is there a driver issue here?

I have a small network of an Ubuntu server 10.4 , Debian server, Win XP, and an ubuntu desktop 10.4. I have configured a DNS server and DHCP server successfully on my ubuntu server, also a slave DNS server on Debian. I recently configured apache2 as part of LAMP on ubuntu server, but when I type my ServerName in the URL of my Win XP browser, I get this response: The webpage "mansour.net" cannot be found DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found. The link may be broken.
I have an A Record in my DNS zone file for mansour.net and have that as my ServerName in apache2 Definition file, but I don't know why it is not working. I am trying to learn to install and configure various servers on ubuntu.

I have a problem with my wlan connection. it works for few seconds, then stops for few seconds and then starts again (without interaction from my side). I run Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid. The issue started few days ago. Using ethernet, there is no problem. The problem does not exist with other computers i have, there wifi and internet work continuously and flawless. I ping my wlan router. one sees that connection to the wlan router starts and stops every few seconds... (of course, internet connection then behaves analogous)

I tried to install Ubuntu netbook remix Lucid on a Lenovo IdeaPad netbook with an Intel Atom processor and a SSD HD 4 GB and a SATA HDD of 160 GB. The installation starts normally, but stops on step 3 of 7, where I choose my keyboard layer...it never passes on to step 4 of 7. I must mention that I had a corrupted installation of Windows XP running on it...I made an USB bootable disk, and everything goes fine untill step 3 of 7.

When i set skype to load on start up my webcam will not work. However if I manually start it after booting up the system it works fine. I am not using ciaro dock but am using docky. My webcam is a Logitech. This can be anoying as I would sometimes forget to turn Skype on manually.

I am running Server 10. I have a requirement to perform an action before the MySQL service starts, and perform another action after MySQL service stops.
I found the init script for MySQL under /etc/init/mysql.conf. I added my thing to the pre-start script there and works fine.
I am having trouble finding the script that stops the server so I can modify.

A friend of mine has asked me to install Ubuntu for a long time. Today I set up his partitions with Lucid LiveCD and GParted.
However, the LiveCd throws an error that makes me hesitant to continue.
If I boot a LiveCD on my computer I get a question meaning "run Live or install?"
This question does not appear on my friends computer. The first thing you see (about 2 min after boot) is an alertpanel saying something like "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. We will now set up a desktop environment so you can investigate the problem." After that the normal Lucid (Live) desktop appears and functions well, as far as I can understand.
Sorry for not being able to give more data about my friends system. It is a stationary computer about 2 yrs old, running XP. I can't really make investigations on his system either. I had hoped to go there next time and just install Lucid.
Maybe one should try the alternate installer, but my friend just got used to the LiveCD and I would therefore like to use the LiveCD.
I don't understand why it seems to start installation by itself.
Most of all. I wonder if it is a good idea to run the installation from the desktop icon? Maybe it will encounter the same error that the LiveCd seems to encounter at startup?

When I plug in a USB GPS device, using cypress_m8 module, is creates /dev/ttyUSB0 with read/write permissions for owner,root, and group, dialout. My question is really just where are the rules for setting these permissions and how exactly are the owner and group names set when /dev/ttyUSB0 is created, i.e. a serial USB device is plugged in.

I'm doing a clean install on a new machine, and when I tried to boot the install DVD, ISOLinux gave me the following error:
Code:
Could not find kernel image: linux After some experimentation, I found that switching the SATA mode in the BIOS from AHCI to Native IDE solved the problem and installation is proceeding normally.
However, I want AHCI enabled. (I think, unless someone has a compelling reason why I shouldn't.) My web-searching suggests that if the system is installed in IDE mode, it won't boot if I switch to AHCI afterwards. Is this a common problem? Is there a workaround? Is it a motherboard issue?

Today I stumbled upon Magic_SysRq_key. Basically, it's allows the user to perform various low level commands regardless of the system's statee.g.Alt+SysRq+b will reboot the system without syncing or unmounting.(SysRq is Print on most systems.)I see the point the use for kernel hackers and such, which compile their own kernels anyway, but why is this enabled by default?

Just wondering now I see computers everywhere with 6G of ram or more if the new 32b kernels are going to be setup for large amounts of ram or will they still need to be recompiled? Also will there be better ssd support for things like "trim"? I know you edit the fstab to get the Linux version of trim but I am just wondering if stuff like that will just be automatic or if I will continue to need to tweak. I like to tweak but sometimes its the lack of need for tweaking that makes me like slack.

I updated to latest -current last night and since then have not been able to login to my KDE desktop. After typing in the password, I get the starter icons come up, and just as the last one comes up, the desktop logs out to the login screen again. I worked out that it was because desktop effects were enabled - disabling these in kwinrc allows me to login, although without desktop effects.Using NVidia 256.53 binary drivers b.t.w.

I use NetworkManager to handle my net connections and it's applet that allows me to control everything from the gui is called nm-applet. I was able to edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fluxbox so that nm-applet starts when fluxbox does and away I go. From runlevel 3 that is.
On my laptop I like to boot into runlevel 4 for various reasons. When I start a fluxbox session from runlevel 4 this doesn't happen. What file do I have to edit to get this to start from runlevel 4?

Been thinking about changing over to 64 bit, but I was just curious about whether or not I'll have to worry about incompatibility with a few 32bit-only applications I use, once I've set up multilib. I'll test it out in vbox when I get home but I wanted to check here to see if I could maybe get a solid yes/no/maybe answer.
