View 7 Replies View RelatedMy wife use to look at this webcam using the Opera web browser, setting it to reload each 2 seconds or each second or so. However, she'd like to be able to watch the link in a minimal window without having to start the web browser. Anyone know of such a program? The program is supposed to open the link as an image and update it every second or so. It should be "ultra light" and have a minimal user interface.
Another option would be to view the webcam directly on the desktop instead of only having a picture there. Is that possible? What additional software does she need for that? She has compiz fusion installed, if that matters. She has Ubuntu 9.04 on one computer and Ubuntu 9.10 on the other one. If you click at the link above and it's completely black (except for some text and some logos), it's probably because it's night (Swedish time) and they turned off the lights.
Does anyone know if there is a list of which webcams are supported in Ubuntu?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have it installed on a HP mini 1010NR It worked great once I got help to figure out how to make my wifi work. Now I am trying to find the best program to use to chat and view webcams on yahoo I used gyache at first but got sick of it gliching and booting me telling me people were online when they were not. So I tried Kopete and like it but cant get the webcam to work every thing works just fine I cant send invites and cant receive images. At first I was getting an error message telling me to go to a nonexistent site for help. Now it just tells me No "webcam image received" and just strait up does not send invites. I am trying to get this to work or be directed to a better program that meets my needs and how to set it up.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wonder if someone might be able to help with a webcam problem I'm having (or point me in the direction of a previous thread on the subject?). I'm trying Xubuntu on my wife's elderly Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop. It's working beautifully for the most part. But I've tried two different usb webcams, both of which are recognized by Cheese but don't work in Skype.
In Skype, what happens is that Skype is aware that a webcam is present. It does NOT say "no webcam detected". But in Skype Options, when I visit the Options for "Video Devices", and click on the "Test" button to test the webcam, nothing happens at all.
And when I make a test video call to a friend, with video turned on, all the friend sees is a black screen where the image should be, and a little turning symbol presumably to indicate "please wait for image to appear". It never appears.
Is there drivers for linux for my webcam to work? I have a Creative Webcam.
View 5 Replies View Relatedignore powertop's recommendation. After searching around the web, that message about how to enable autosuspend is very out of date. This thread discusses the history of the powertop suggestion, and discusses using the driver or udev to autosuspend an eeepc webcam. It also includes this nugget:
Quote:
In the mean time - the thread I linked to includes a helpful note from Xandros. They measured that enabling the camera on the 901 model cost ~3% of overall power. So autosuspending the camera won't extend your battery life that much, but every little bit helps. This page describes the user interface for dynamic power management in a device's sysfs directory. This caveat and another note from that page should be considered: 214For this reason, by default the kernel disables autosuspend (the 215power/level attribute is initialized to "on") for all devices other 216than hubs. Hubs, at least, appear to be reasonably well-behaved in 217this regard.

I've got an old laptop with F15 installed. I want to use it together with two usb-webcams to monitor my wood boiler in the basement. And I want to stream it via http. I tried zoneminder and it didn't found my cheap cams. I tried vlc but it didn't work that well. Are there any other options to put out the streams on a webpage?

Does this meet the required 4 ports mentioned for alike cameras in the forum posting. If not, I have one of these.. Is this what they are talking about. I have just started thinking about this again and am not sure if I'm asking the right question. I don't want to go buying a bunch of hardware I can not use. So I'm hoping to look to someone here who has some experience in live streaming audio / video to one of the distribution sites.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just completely put Ubuntu on my laptop and I am looking for a replacement MSN messenger that allows multi-session. Basically, in most of the WLM versions of MSN Messenger it allows Multi-session, as in I can login into the same MSN account on both my desktop (Windows) and my laptop (Ubuntu). Both Pidgin and Empathy don't, and rather going through all of them I thought I'd ask here.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using Ubuntu 10.10 for a few weeks now (have been using Ubuntu/Linux on and off for quite a while). I had to work around some things for a while to get it correctly partitioned with Windows 7 and what not which led to me formatting and reinstalling a few times to get it just right. Along the way, I was able to upgrade my Empathy messenger from 2.32.1 to 2.32.2. I loved the upgrade as it has the notification icon for me installed which is much nicer than the colored envelope when someone sends me a message. I have tried to upgrade to it recently and it is not allowing me to do so. Can anyone help me upgrade back to 2.32.2 from 2.32.1?
