All other third party downloads work. I tried changing the source and had same result.

Dual-boot Asus Vista/Hardy

The ASUSTek A8M_A8T Series Notebook came with a built in webcam and mic so streaming should be easy — if I can get Ubuntu to recognize the hardware. It is a dual-core AMD Turion 64×2 TL-52 803 MHz mobile technology chip (AMD K8 Processor), 32 bit operating system, ACPI mother board, NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100, 120 gig HD, bluetooth, SD card reader and DVD burner. It is not the most blazing fast computer, but with the fan it runs really cool and it has connectivity with 4 USB, mini firewire (will need a special converter jack), S-video out.

Built in webcam and mic not working.

Need mediabuntu plugin packages for gstreamer.

Still trying to get it to work.

With Cheese, camorama and gstreamer - the webcam should work.

Worked before in Gutsy.

The mic worked before too -- but I really need some help with multi-media audio and video.

I think if I can get to mediabuntu and download the packages - it will all work again.
