Hello Linux men in Dorset.
My name is Sandie & I attended 1 of your pub meetings in August '17 &
have been on the mailing list since. It's enjoyable to see how you get
things fixed. If I was ever to venture back to the UK I'd really like to
see the Wimbourne model village set up, it being run on Raspberry pi's.
( I have one stored away only used a bit in Ecuador a few years ago,
loved it)
I am currently in Mexico.
Now I have a couple of questions/problems that hopefully someone will
have time to & won't mind assisting me with.
There is no one around here that can help me. I've mostly been in Latin
America since '12. At that time Linux was on most school computers & was
used a lot. That has changed now & no one's heard of it.
I recently bought a new Hyundai HYbook 14 & installed via a disro
created on a usb Ubuntu 22. (I've stuck to & loved '16.04 on now
retiring computer, I created the usb on it.)
I have done this usb install previously on a couple of 2nd hand
computers & it has worked well. I saw someone commenting on the process
a few months ago here. This is a new computer. I'm not even sure if it
has totally eliminated windows as some sort of menu for windows is
available at start up.
The install has not found the web cam! I tested the camera in the shop
before I bought the computer. On the Windows system it worked well.
Application Cheese came installed on Ubuntu 22 but it couldn't see a
camera so I uninstalled it. I have reinstalled, uninstalled quite a few
times. There are 2 versions of Cheese on offer in the Ubuntu software
menu. I tried both several times. Then I tried & installed an
application called Cameratrls? It found a camera named 0 & worked not
too well on one zoom call. Now it too has failed.
I tried a little bit of commanding on terminal, from tips I found
searching for help. However some permission/s were denied.
I'm not too sure about this 'snap store' app? either. It is threatening
to close something if I don't close it but can't see how to.
The computer is now failing to awaken from hibernation, that worked well
for a few days but no longer.
Anyway with this info I hope someone can help.
Thanks in anticipation Sandie Ball.
