i solved my problem updating my Kernel at first i installed ubuntu 8.10, and my web-cam (microsoft vx-1000) didn't work, i tried updating to 9.10, but still didn't work so... i went back to 8.10, and updated my kernel to the 6.12.29 version. My camera started to work, not as good as on vista, but it was good enough. On the time that i was using my pc (i had some hardware problems and it's not with me right now) i had no problems after updating my kernel, and ubuntu was as stable as possible.
you can find a lot of info about how to update your kernel, on google. It's as simple as possible. i don't have the exact tutorial that i used. This is the link of one tutorial that i found, and i think it's very similar to the one i used: http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/06/10/linux-kernel-2-6-30-installation-guide-for-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/ and this is the link of the different kernels that you can download from ubuntu: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ after updating the kernel i don't remember if i had to re install/compile all the drivers that i had downloaded previously, i probably did. ps.: I only had one problem. When i updated my kernel it asked me to install one program, that i didn't have and i don't remember what was, but i just searched for it on the synaptic, installed, and it installed the kernel after that. -- vx-1000 green screen in ubuntu 9.04 tested with cheese https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
