Now i have on my desktop 32-bits computer installed Xubuntu 12.04 and also Cheese. When i start Cheese i get only a blank screen for a while. Following some advice on the FAQ i tried "sudo apt-get install gstramer0.10-conf" but got the answer that the newest version is already installed. If i use Kamerka i get an image from the webcam. However the image is hazy (not clear). I think this is due to my webcam "microsoft vx1000" . So before buying a new webcam i would have the concerned applications running. Many thanks in advance for some help. <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> This looks a bit cheesy to me. It is probably a driver problem. Have you searched online for drivers? Microsoft may have them on their website. Thanks! In Christ, Ryan <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> I have had Cheese working on both Xubuntu vers 11.10 & 12.04. Cheese version used is 3.4.1. The video cam is an old Logitech Quick Cam IM connected by USB - 046d:08d9 at /dev/video0 - resolution is set at 640x480. However, I have not been able to get it to work in Skype [vers 2.20.35 - Oneiric] with either 11.10 or 12.04 Xubuntu. The video cam is recognised but a "test run" in Skype gives nothing. Using Cheese to record me looking intently at a computer screen is not of much use - the idea was to contact grand-children via Skype with Linux [Windows XP - with Skype works!]. I also need help.
