My guess would be nvidia, as it's a video driver so it could impact on whether a camera is found or not (if driver doesn't recognise your camera anymore for example or if driver sends to Skype some incompatibility signals). Also, by eliminiation process, and as you have already eliminated kernel: libgl is lib for open GL, it wouldn't have impact on whether or not it finds your video camera lbjack js audio stuff, not video libxatracker is some video acceleration stuff, I don't think it could impact on whether your video camera is found or not flashplugin is unlikely to impact on whether your camera is found or not Do you have Cheese installed? Does your video camera work in it? If not, do you see an error message (if you run it from terminal)? > > -- > Terry Coles > 64 bit computing with Kubuntu Linux > > -- > Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2013-05-07 20:00 > Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ > New thread on mailing list: mailto:[email protected] > How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2013-05-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:[email protected] How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
