My dream is to become a Linux guru. Hoping to turn on less fortunate people to computers for free. I'm also hooked on installing the latest Linux distro out and seeing how it performs.

Why cant I get the same webcam that worked fine on Ubuntu 7.04 to work on 7.10?? I get: error Image magic needed. See Jasper Image converter.... and then gives the website (which doesnt exist anymore, So I googled for Jasper image converter. I ended up with a website that is user unfriendly. I found no help on the Ubuntu forums.

Thanks to anyone that can direct me to the right channels!!!

Image magic sounds like the popular imagemagick software package. Try:

to see if that helps.

I tried the code: sudo apt-get install imagemagick

It seemed to install. Yet when I try to (send/use) my webcam, this information bubble pops up:

I cannot find the jasper image convert program.
jasper is required to render the yahoo webcam images.
Please see http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?p...bcam%20Support for further information.

Maybe its time to buy a Mac and forget the Linux??

Not a bad idea.

...Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

On the one hand you could take the red pill ... and on the other hand you could take the blue pill.

I think I know which one you're gonna take.

...Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

Hmmm.. How would I get hit? Sounds like a threat?

No threat...if you don't like Linux then don't use it.

But if you want help you won't get it by complaining.

-C

Bring up your Terminal:
type, sudo apt-get install libjasper-runtime
Enter
type in your password
Enter
then it should fetch and install.
