I have a Gateway NV series laptop, and have never needed to use my webcam until now, and unfortunately, it is not working at all.


ls -l /dev/video*
yields no results.

Result of lsusb:

I found a really old laptop recently and decided to install ubuntu server and make it my first home server experiment. I have installed apache, ssh, php, and ftp (other suggestions would be great)...

So I'm writing a Java program that will send and receive data over a serial connection. The serial port I am trying to connect to is /dev/ttyACM0.

The port is there, and active, because I can see...

AH! That worked the first time, but then after I closed cheese, it stopped.

I don't understand!:-k

It gave me the error:
Unable to open device.

I opened it in terminal, this is the output:

ALSA lib pcm.c:2212: (snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.rear
ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:...

Just got back to this, sorry for the delay. lsusb gives me weird output:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root...

So I decided to upgrade my computer and my girlfriends as well. Mine went well, and so far I am enjoying 11.10. However, my girlfriend unplugged her computer and it died in the middle of the upgrade....

Sorry to be so late to the rescue, but I came up with a solution that worked for me.
1. Ctrl+alt+f1 and login.
2. After logging in I ran sudo dkpg --configure -a
3. This will probably run for a...

I am not sitting at the right computer at the moment, but I remember running lsusb a while back and getting some weird results. I am almost certain I will need a driver. I'll post the results of...

Just got skype, and noticed my webcam wouldn't work. So I installed cheese and tried to use it, but nothing happens. I looked through my /dev/ directory and saw no video there. Any body have advice?

No offense taken, I understand where you guys are coming from, but I appreciate the hint!



Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Understandable, thanks anyway!

Ah, my apologies for not clarifying. I installed ettercap to test my network and see which machines/protocols are vulnerable to MITM attacks. I've had slow connections and odd behavior lately, so I...

What exactly isn't supported? Security testing?

I'm playing around with DNS spoofing using ettercap. I am testing with a windows 7 machine.

The redirection works perfectly, however, the URL changes to reflect the website that is actually...

I'm trying desperately to install a .run file on natty, but nothin I'm doing seems to be working.

Thanks for the help!

I have two ssh servers, I ssh regularly to the Mac, and to another Ubuntu host.

I do not know about the UPnP. What difference does it make?

Also forgot to say that sometimes the ip of the host will change. Happened to me recently causing quite a bit of confusion!

I'm getting my public IP from whatismyip.com

I've only tried from two different networks aside from my own. It didn't work from any of the three.



I'm using ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the...

I do believe it is possible, but will cause even more problems than you already have, as the two have the issue of interfering.

I think you need to focus more on configuration.

I do. But I know I'm putting the correct password in, and I shouldn't even have to use the password, as I'm using keys. Or am I completely mistaken?

So I've been using SSH for a while, but only to connect to machines on my network. The problems start when I try to connect from somewhere else!

I have set up port forwarding on my router. I have...

I had the same issue, but only when to computer I was trying to connect to was hibernating or asleep.

All I had to do was move the mouse on the computer I was connecting to.

This was linux to...
