Webcam Issue in Ubuntu 11.04
I installed a clean copy of Ubuntu 10.10 (reformatted the drive and wiped out windows), which went flawlessly.
I then upgraded to 11.04, which also went flawlessly.
In Empathy during chat sessions, the video call and audio call options are not available.
To see if my webcam was working, I installed Cheese.
Webcam works fine in Cheese. As another check, I installed Kopete.
Under preferences, my webcam appears to be working fine, however, in a chat session, I get the message about not finding Jasper.
So I installed it (correctly, I think).
I still get the message about not finding Jasper.
I checked again in Empathy, and still, the options for video and audio (as well as file sharing) are not available. Am I missing something?
My webcam is a Logitech HD C270 cam, which is listed in the UVC database.
I'd like to get this resolved as I refuse to go back to windows just for online chatting.
I do not want to install Ubuntu 12 as I do not like the interface, nor do I want to upgrade to 11.10 as I couldn't find an option to boot classic ubuntu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Scott
