It's really pretty and has a buttload of fun stuff. But so confusing at first. I've been using it for about 3 hours and trying to get everything set up. Its fun...ish.

I think I'm going to eventually start loving it after a while.

2 questions though...noob questions... LOL

How the hell do I get the audio to work? I've tried going through the prefrences and all that and I'm thinking I might need drivers for the speakers? i didnt in windows but...maybe linux ?

also...

I need help setting up my webcam. =/ So far I've heard people mention "cheese"....and that just made me want cheese really bad.

help plz?


p-s - I googled all this and it just confused me more. =/

first thing's first. we need to know what distro you have. I presume Ubuntu. correct me if I'm wrong.

Now you need to open up a "terminal"

type in "lspci" which is 'LiSt PCI devices'
highlight the output (probably a page and a half, so expand the window and highlight everything. right click and copy. paste it in here.

now do an "lsusb" which lists USB devices, do this while any USB devices you want to use are plugged in.

do the same for "lsmod" so we can see what modules are being loaded or not loaded.

for the webcam, I'll wait to find out what distro you have.

logitech uses the gspca drivers for the 046d:08d9 quickcam. So the drivers are loaded, so you should be able to use it with no problems (i actually have that webcam and it works well in linux)

Your audio device is loaded and operational.

What distro did you install? that plays a part in debugging.

Im glad theyre working but uhh..theyre not. Lol!

I tried to take a picture on facebook and it couldnt find the camera. I also tried to test the audio on youtube and nothing came out of the speakers. =/ I have everything unmuted and stuff. I'm pretty sure its a REALLY obvious thing I'm just missing.

annnd what exactly is a distro? lol I'm guessing mine would be Linux MinT 7 ? I have no idea.
 
WOO!

Yeah, I figured it out. XD

I feel like such an idiot right now.

Thank you so much for your help, Noiro Do you have any suggestions for applications to get ?




** no I lied.... I'm missing something. I still cant get the audio or camera to work on firefox. The tests in the system controls worked though.

hmmm

What distro? <asks for the third time ;) EDIT oh missed that, Mint is a decent distro. not to terribly bloated.

Here's my list of toys and gadgets
Gimp for photo editing and creation
songbird A media library management system that is based on mozilla with the capabililities to add in hundreds of plugins and device support (including ipod i think) it's pretty quick and snappy and i love it.

OpenOffice an open source office suite with pretty much all the bells and whistles you need for office work or reports.

Wesnoth a turn based strategy game that i'm addicted to

zsnes SNES emulator to play SNES games.

pidgin the de-facto standard IM client (formerly GAIM)

amsn msn messenger client if I ever want to talk on cam.

gnucash a financial books that work in the dual-entry method.

Fyre chaotic function renderer that draws pretty pictures. I use this to make new backgrounds almost once a week.

fun stuff! >=)

I had songbird on windows, I really loved it.

Thank ya =D now as soon as I get the speakers working... LOL

Okay, so...my little IM box plays noises now but I cant get anything on youtube to do it. =(

*kicks Linux*
 
I fixed everything!!!


Is anyone familiar with WINE and downloading windows stuff?

I have photoshop cs2 already and I would much rather have it back on here than freaking GIMP.

I've come to realize its just Flash thats not working.....uuugh.
Click to expand...

LOL .. Noiro you noob! I figured this one out while reading the first few posts :) Camera not working on facebook = can only be flash. Sound not working on youtube = can only be flash :P

Unfortunately flash on linux is still a major PITA .. but that's mainly adobe's fault ..

About photoshop .. I am sure there are some WINE tutorials for that on google, as many use it like that :)

The only thing that would make it better would be if I could use Paint Shop Pro X2. tis mah favorite.


Other than that, its pretty fricken sweet.
 
Linux is cool. the ones i like most are knoppix, and pclinux2007. in my opinion though knoppix has suffered in the last few version updates. not as good as it was or seems that way. i've not tried mint yet.
