My webcam will not work for skype. I have a sony vaio VGN-CR120E. I got it working before, but on an early version of ubuntu and don't remember what I did. I entered the following code following someones elses advice. But it did nothing please help




sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) &&
wget http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/archive/tip.tar.bz2 &&
tar xf tip.tar.bz2 &&
cd gspca-* &&
make clean &&
make &&
sudo make install &&
sudo depmod -ae $(uname -r)

I was able to get the video to work however the test image is very blurred and looks mirrored. Other people have had this issue but I cannot fix it. Please help.
