Good News, your kids can see you :-)

I searched for your webcam in the internet, and it is supported, but not compiled in the default Ubuntu kernel. See: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3092

You need to install spca5xx-source and run module-assistant (that will do the work for you).
In module-assistant, you can update and prepare ubuntu to compile and install the module.

sudo apt-get install spca5xx-source.
sudo module-assistant

#On module-assistant, this might be the correct way to do it.
#i.e. Update, Prepare, Select (spca5xx), Get, Build, Install.

or you can always manually install the driver by:

cd /usr/src/
sudo tar xvf spca5xx-source.tar.bz2
cd modules/spca5xx
sudo make && sudo make install

To test your webcam, you can use Ekiga, or you can record videos
through Youtube and Flash, (probably private) it requires Flash so, you need to
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree if it haven't been installed.

Hope this helps!

Yes.

Right click on the panel
  Select Properties
    Tick: Show Hide Buttons
     Tick: Arrows on hide buttons
Close

Then just click on either the right or left arrow buttons at the end of
the panel. That will hide it. To expand it back, just click the arrow again.

Ah... never mind - I see the "specific workspace" part & for that I
don't know, but I'll leave the post anyway for others that may not know
that you can hide the gnome panel in general.

re-post Nautilus missbehaving

Hi all,
am having problems with Nautilus, opens my home folder OK, then on first 
use freezes, and stops displaying files in it.
Shutting it down from the "not responding message, only results in it 
opening again, empty, again and again,
not showing any files, and it is now using nearly 100% of processor. 
Killing it with "Force Quit"
from Gnome panel, results in it re-opening still empty, and still using 
100% of processor.
Killing it with gps same. After killing it 3-4 times Desktop freezes,  
can fix freeze with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
Another strange thing, when the computer goes into powerdown mode after 
10 minutes, on reviving it, It
displays panel to enter password as the screen is now locked. I have 
"black screen set as screensaver.
Does this sound like I may have a hardware problem?

Any suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance.
take Care
Winton

I see that there is a gspca driver in the Ubuntu kernel, try loading it, then check using Ekiga.

sudo modprobe gspca.

much of the information on how to install your driver is in this link: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75284&highlight=webcam

Re: Is that like an Apple ?

YES!

The one and only thing that can make hooking up DSL completely trivial
is make sure that it's NOT just a cheapo USB DSL modem, but a DSL
Modem/ROUTER with a bunch of LAN network ports.  Then you have NOTHING
to do with drivers anymore, you're just connecting through a network
cable (of WiFi) which is very standard TCP/IP and ALWAYS works.

Typically the thing to say so as to not confuse the gibbons is: "I have
3 networked computers and want to connect all of them to my DSL
router."  

Often service providers offer you a choice of modems/routers, often at
no cost difference (or trivial cost difference):

1: Cheapo USB MODEM for one computer -> This can POTENTIALLY give you
the most work to hook it up to anything except windows.

2: A Modem/Router with like 1-4 LAN network ports. -> Great choice

3: A Modem/Router with one or more LAN network ports AND WiFi -> Also a
great choice.  Better even if you have laptops around, because then you
can browse the web in your bathtub or in the garden.

My company paid for my DSL connection and it came with a [2]. But only
one LAN port however, which sucks because my wife and I both have
laptops and there's also the Communal Desktop Beast.   So I bought
myself a [3], so including WiFi and a bunch of wired LAN ports.   

Cheers,
Chanchao

Evolution Calendar Tip

As everyone knows, Ubuntu includes the Evolution email/calendar client.
Perhaps many simply ignore the email client part (I do for the most
part, I use SeaMonkey, except when testing or for setting up my wife's
email & I like it more each time I do something on it), and maybe
occasionally only use the calendar client that sits in the Gnome Panel
telling you the date & time.

Anyway, I wanted to set up the calendar so that it would show US
holidays. Nothing in the help section so I did a bit of Google'ing &
found the following thread at linuxquestions.org:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=313847
<quote>
 I know of one possibility
add a new "Web Calender" with the following address

webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics

for UK holidays. For US holidays and other calenders check out:

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ical/library/

Evolution supports the ICS format.

Good luck.
</quote>

I found that using that advise & linking to the specific URL in:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ical/library/
the US holidays (including Daylight Savings Time announcements) are
easily added.

In Evolution:

- File|New|Calendar
  - Type: On The Web
   - Name: whatever you want - perhaps "Holidays"
    - URL: webcal:// [1]
     - OK
In the left Calendar panel:

- Select: On the Web
 - Tick the box for your new "Holidays" calendar & it will also be
available in your "On This Computer" Personal calendar as well.

[1] Right click on the particular calendar that you are interested in
can copy the URL - in my case it was the US Holidays, so right clicking
produces: webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/US32Holidays.ics
Past that into the Evolution URL box & off you go. Note: Clicking on
"more" at the end of the holiday list provides
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ical/library/holidays.html which
provides many other world holidays that can be added.

So... If that Date/Time calendar button is going to sit in your Gnome
tray anyway, you might want to put it to some use & add some features to
it. With this added, even if you don't want to use the full Evolution
calendar features, the Gnome panel standard month calendar dropdown when
you click on the day/date button box will now bold dates that have
holidays.
