Jan </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Hi Jan, Firstly I was saddened to see you say that you visited the forum and was told to go away :( I however see many attempts from you to solve the problem on "Ask Ubuntu" so I assume that is what you tried and not the official Ubuntu Forum (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.ubuntuforums.org">www.ubuntuforums.org</a>) so at least I take solace in the fact that it wasn't actually "the forum" that asked you to go away... It would really help to know what you have tried and what you haven't. Did you follow the advice you got the first time around etc? I see many threads on Ask Ubuntu about this issue (in example <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/126765/skype-video-not-working-after-upgrade-from-11-10-to-12-04">http://askubuntu.com/questions/126765/skype-video-not-working-after-upgrade-from-11-10-to-12-04</a>) and various others... not many with advice however :/ I don't use Skype (in fact I don't even have a Linux compatible webcam so I will be off little help further I expect. Cheers Neil</pre> </blockquote> Hi Neil, Many thanks for your reply. I am sorry that I have saddened you, did not intend to sadden anybody. And, no, I was not asked to go away in so many words, but I did read that the question had been solved; which gave me the message because obviously I was there because my problem was not solved. I have been to the site you provided the link to, I was there previously and did everything prescribed there to no avail. I went through the posts again, for some reason my line 4 read <meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype %U so I changed it to <code><big>Exec=bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype' but no difference. I subsequently also checked on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/219">http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/219</a> but here my files were exactly as shown. As far as I was able to, I followed up and tried all advice given. Kind regards, Jan </big></code> <title></title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="LibreOffice 3.5 (Linux)"> <style type="text/css">  </style> <blockquote cite="mid:CA+6J4YUj3Ujzc13=H9ExUUXfOOk+jSSyReM1E8=0_tuRJNN5bw@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
