i cannot get my webcam to work with skype in ubuntu.
conversation works great (both mic and speakers) and i can see my friend's webcam, but he cannot see mine.
i know my webcam (logitec quickcam e 3500) works on my 9.10 installation, because i installed the "cheese" package which works perfect.
skype installation: i downloaded the latest deb package from skype (skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.47-1_i386.deb). when i double clicked it, i noticed it says that it depends on 8 packages (libqt4-core libqt4-gui etc.) so i installed all the dependencies with apt-get, and then finished the skype installation, which went well.
when i right-click skype on the panel and choose Options>VideoDevices i can see that "UVC Camera (xxxx: xxxx) (/dev/video0)" is selected, which seems correct. but when i click "test" i get nothing.
any clue?
