Programming :: Clearing Cache - Reading Data Upon Investigation

Apr 9, 2009

I have been saving an XML file wherein I shall be reading data, if and only if the XML is present on Hard Drive. If same is not present, the code shall generate first and next time it shall simply read and not jump into writing part again and again. The issue that I am facing is, I am deleting the file manually going to that location, and checking whether it is reading the data, upon investigation, I found that it is really reading the data although the file is deleted.

I suspected that there may be some cache issue from where it is picking values, hence it fired the command
"sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
But it is still doing the same pattern.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Use A DV Cam As A Webcam?

Mar 23, 2011

I am a recent convert to Ubuntu 10.10 from Vista. I work from home and do all of my work via remote login and video conferencing through Skype. In Vista, I could use my DV Camcorder as a webcam which, in turn, gave me video for Skype. In Vista, I used a program call "Tracker Cam" which I could run, and then it would act like a video driver for Skype and presto, I had perfect video in Skype.

Now that I am in Ubuntu, I am trying to achieve the same thing. I can hook up my DV Camcorder (A Sony Handycam HDR-HC5) and see the live video through Kino. However, this doesn't help me with Skype. I still can't enable video, or select a video device in Skype. I have Googled this up and down with no leads.

So, I am wondering if anyone has done this with Skype (or other programs) to get their DV Camcorders acting like webcams for video calls or is this just one of those things that won't work in Ubuntu?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: HDE Webcam Won't Work / Fix It?

May 12, 2010

I'm using Wubi to dual boot 9.10 off windows xp. I have been having very good luck figuring things out using this ubuntu forum, which I am more grateful for than any of you could ever imagine, But I have a webcam issue I just can't figure out. Heres my question. I just recently bought a VERY cheap usb webcam from a company named HDE. There doesn't seem to be a specific name or even model number for this webcam, but here is the web page of the webcam I bought, http://www.hdeshop.com/USB-3-LED-PC-...B0015TJNEY.htm The website only provides drivers for windows vista and windows xp, but I figured there might be a chance or possibility that I could force this webcam to work on ubuntu 9.10. I plugged in the webcam and it did show up in skype, but the picture is all green and there is a double of me.

Plus, the actual webcam device will not show up in skype, I can't select the webcam, but regardless it still shows a green double vision image when I test it or do a video call.Skype seems to be the only thing this webcam kind of works with, It will not work with Cheese though and doesn't show an image in gstreamer. I want to mention that when I go to Cheese Preferences there is a webcam device that appears and sayse "USB 2.0 Camera (/dev/video0)" but I can't select it. I'm not sure what to do about this or how to fix it? I've searched around the internet and read the ubuntu documentation on webcams but really haven't had any luck for my specific webcam. I would just like the webcam to be detected by ubuntu 9.10, to work properly in skype, and work in cheese so I can record video's.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Take A Picture With Webcam?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Easycam2 Won't Install - Webcam

Jan 31, 2010

I have a webcam (Trust 16430 [Chat Webcam]) that just doesn't seem to work. Now according to multple guides I simply have to install easycam2 to find the drivers and install the cam. There lies another problem, easycam2 is giving me a hard time... it just won't install.

Now here is what I do in the terminal:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Cheese Can't Detect Webcam?

Feb 3, 2010

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?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Webcam Brightness Increase ?

Mar 10, 2010

Ubuntu, in its most recent version (9.10) has stopped to support certain webcams that it previously supported with just plug-and-play simplicity. After many searches on the web, I could somehow managed to make my old webcam (Logitech QuickCam Traveler) work. Skype couldn't see it, but adding the command bash -c 'export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so; skype' to the launcher, worked the miracle.

Whatever, the image was very dark, and in a new web search I found a solution [url] As stated there, I opened the Terminal and entered:

Code:

All is OK, brightness gets up, I can finally see my face (not a great view, but I somehow got away with it) in Skype's test, but I need that change to be PERMANENT, so every time my parents open Skype (it's my parents' computer) they won't have to mess with Terminal (they're 69 and 72 years old, it's their first computer, so I CAN NOT expect them to use Terminal, they just want to open Skype and use it, as they did when they used Windows (until two weeks ago, when I finally convinced them to switch).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Configuring Webcam And Microphone

Apr 4, 2010

I've been having problems setting up my microphone and webcam for internet use. I won a Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 on the internet and it doesn't work on ubuntu. I'm sure it works because I also have Windows Vista installed on my laptop and it works perfectly well when using Skype, Windows Live Messenger and even Gtalk.

This webcam model has an integrated microphone, which doesn't work either, even though it works just fine on Windows. I have tried to configure the mic, but when I test-record the sound all I can hear is just noise. I have test-recorded using a headset (which also works on Windows), but I didn't have any success, so I have to believe that I haven't configured something the way it was supposed to be or that a driver is missing.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Check If Your Webcam Is Working ?

Jun 13, 2010

I ran across this command the other day, and found it useful for a quick check to see if your webcam is working. If you have a webcam and have mplayer and mencoder installed just open a terminal and type:

Code:

And it should open a window with you webcam running. I would think it would work with any webcam. Just for the record, I am running on a Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop with a build-in cam. You can find this in mplayer man pages, but there are 191 pages even if you send the man pages to a text file. mplayer is a very powerful program and there are many more things you can do with it.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Webcam Works Only On First Launch?

just installed ubuntu 10.04 a week back.It updated as well through the update manager.Then I installed latest version(beta) of skype from the .deb downloaded from their website.In the beginning my webcam was detected but the video used to flicker.So I searched the net for a solution.I tried launching skype using 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype' command but there was hardly any difference.Then I came across gstreamer properties.I tried the three options and there started the problem.Now my webcam is detected only on its first launch.Once i stop the test there appears a black screen.I uninstalled and reinstalled skype but in vain.I tested it using cheese and vlc as well.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Get A Very Pixelated Image From The Webcam?

Aug 9, 2010

I'm writing to ask for help with a quality issue when using my webcam on sites like chatroulette, and even testwebcam. My webcam, albeit not a very expensive webcam, is quite decent quality, the box claims that it is 2.0 megapixels but... I'm not too sure. However-- When using this webcam on flash sites, the quality drops - it seems - from 640 x 480 to a measly 160 x 120. I get a very pixelated image from the webcam, but using it in cheese it works perfectly fine, at 640 x 480.

The webcam also works on windows, and the quality is fine on flash sites. But, I wouldn't want the only reason to be using windows to be chatroulette. Here are some screenshots comparing the qualities, the first being a screenshot of the webcam in use on [URL]... and the second being a screenshot of the webcam in use in cheese. I probably look like a bit of an idiot in both of the pictures, apologies for that.
