Hello All,
I am a NEW Linux user. I would like to have Cam Abilities with UBUNTU. I have tried Kopete and Pidgin with no luck. Normally I would just use Yahoo Messenger in XP to be able to do this. But, I would like to wean myself off of the Microsoft nipple and Become strictly Linux for personal usage. I have personally found that "Ultimate Edition" (based on Ubuntu) to have the features of which I am looking for in a substitute operating system.
Since Kopete and Pidgin did seem to allow me to view or accept webcam requests I reverted to Yahoo Messenger; or at least tried. I cannot get Yahoo Messenger to login when I use WINE to install it. I am not sure what I am missing. But, the only program I know for SURE that seems to have VERY LITTLE problems with webcams is Yahoo Messenger. I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS concerning any other chat programs that will allow me to login to my yahoo account and use my webcam. I would like to figure out the LOGIN issue I am having as well....just so I can help anyone else who may have similar issues.
Respectfully Submitted
