web cam
Hi i'm New to linux just finding my way round still
I'm trying to configure msn to run with linux cant get my web cam to work, I am trying to use a trust WB-3600R webcam been to trust sight cant find drivers 4 it on there. Any ideas how to get web cam running please or where i can find drivers 4 it many thanks, Ian. |
I am interested too, I would like to run MSN messenger on a Linux platform.
At the moment I use Pidgin (I guess the Linux or Ubuntu version of IM), though it does not have all of the functionalities of MSN. |
Pidgin and msn
If you want to use a camera with the Amsn client supports some cameras http://http://www.amsn-project.net/ here is a link. If you are using Ubuntu sudo apt-get install amsn should install it. As for help with your camera it is probably best to Google it.

Yes, on Debian it would be that command aswell but other distros use other package management tools.

They use RPM packages, here is some more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager Tools like yum (fedora) and Smart Package Manager (mandriva) are used to manage the packages and check for dependencies. btw, ferdora is the community release of Red Hat |
