I use a Logitech QuickCam S7500, it has great image quality, and worked out
of the box. The only thing I noted is that in aMSN I had to check "use a low
resolution webcam" for it to show up properly in aMSN, which I think was due
to the high resolution the camera works on. It works perfectly on Sky

Hello.
I want to wipe XP from my hard drive, but the only thing which is
preventing me is that I can't get my 6 year old Logitech Quickcam Chat
webcam to work very well in Ubuntu (9.04 or 9.10), with aMSN. The camera
works well in WindowsXP, using the Logitech driver, so it isn't a faulty
camera.

Hi -- I've rather gracelessly let one of my Ubuntu machines stay at Ruby
1.8.6, and the official release has moved on to 1.9
For the apps that are currently on that box, I need it to be running 1.8.7,
now.
I found an instruction that details how to do it here:

I suppose a reverse SSH tunnel to your home machine and then a second tunnel
forwarded through the home machine to the destination would (in theory)
work, although I can't test this where I am at the moment.

It would appear that they control their own sales process and the full
company is on board with the project, they shouldn't have their own

Gitso is great for this.
It creates a reverse VNC tunnel - meaning that the end user whose machine
you wish to control has to establish a connection back to you. This means
that they are in control of the session and it gives them assurances that
you cannot just login again at a later date.
