Doh! There is no MS driver for that camera for Windows 10 either. I give up.

That is an interesting one about the USB ports. I have a couple of laptops, 1 running Ubuntu 18.04 and the other running Ubuntu Budgie 18.04, with a virtual machine of Windows 10 running on them. I...

The camera still cannot be found by Skype, but the fact that Camorama can see it indicates that the problem is other than a kernel driver.

Ahh, the joys!!

Ah, now that shows me an image. Interesting. Thanks for that. I will now check out how it works on Skype, etc.

Thanks for the info. I booted off the installation USB medium - no good. I ran up a new clean install on an HP machine I had in the corner and still no joy at all. I tested the camera straight...

Desktop or Laptop? Both. The camera is on my desktop, but I have also tried, without success, to get Cheese to see it on a laptop running 18.04. A laptop running 16.04 has no problems.

Hi All,

Since upgrading to 18.04, the Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000 which used to work in 17.10, has ceased functioning. It still reports in lsusb: Bus 003 Device 003: ID 045e:00f7 Microsoft Corp....

Try running Simple Scan from a terminal as root: sudo simple-scan

Worked for me with my V370 scanner.

Also versions of 16.04 suffered the same problem after recent updates to the kernel.

If your computer is running the Intel 945 chipset, and you are attempting to install 17.10, then be aware that there is a known bug in the 4.13 kernel which affects graphics on the 945 chipset. The...

I am not sure how far you are getting with the reboot, but I have noticed that with some machines and 17.04 the reboot stalls and needs a hard power off to finish it. After the hard power off, the...

If you intend to dual boot, then you need to have Windows installed first, resize its partition to make room for the Ubuntu install (use gParted on a CD), and then make sure that you select the...

If you have an Ubuntu server which is on all the time, consider ownCloud. I run an ownCloud server and it is so easy to create several user profiles, with usernames and passwords, then share...

Hello,

Any application which uses nautilus to open and save files should be able to connect to the samba share and save or open files on that share. However, if an application has its own or a...

Hello,

They are normally mounted in /media/{username}/{drive_name}

I tend to agree.
Run
sudo apt-get purge transmission*
to remove any software starting with "transmission"
Then
sudo apt-get autoclean
and
sudo apt-get autoremove
just to be sure.

Hello,

I have never actually done this but I think your problem may be that you cannot edit the boot partition size while the partition is mounted and, if you have run GParted from within the...

I just had a look at the syslog output on page one, and noticed:
Temperature_Celsius changed from 111 to 110
in relation to /dev/sdc/

What is /dev/sdc used for. That is a damnably high...

Personally the only partition I would consider deleting is sda5 because that is probably (emphasis on "probably") your recovery partition but I cannot guarantee that the system will work OK after you...

Just a question: When the temperature spikes up and the fans go hard at it, what happens to the actual temperature of the CPU heatsink? It is OK to touch the heatsink while the computer is running,...

You could try installing GSmartControl and do a short, and if possible, an extended self test on your hard disk. Check for, in particular, any read errors, write errors, and the reallocated sector...

I have noticed a couple of drivers missing from 16.10, namely the AMD HD7500/7600M video chip (maximum resolution 1024 x 768) and the Huawei E153 3g USB modem (just doesn't work).

Both worked in...

Bleachbit may be able to assist. install it from the repos and then have a look through what it offers. You may find an option there.

Sorry for not being 100% sure, but I don't have a machine...

Hi All,

I have a Toshiba laptop running an AMD Radeon HD7500/7600 video card, according to lspci output.

Display resolution is fine with 16.04 (1366 x 768) but with 16.10, the best resolution I...

I just read your bit about up to date maps. Tragically, that is determined by Google. We have one area south of where I live in which the latest photograph is 2006. It is a rural area so I guess...
