So, when are you gonna try Ubuntu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's heavily disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffpugh Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 [quote name='mommas_boy' post='1638247' date='Aug 25 2008, 10:30 PM']Ubuntu? Try this page: [url="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam"]https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam[/url] Kris[/quote] I'ma be honest. I tried Ubuntu on this lappy, as well as Ubuntu studio. There was a few problems that were the deal breakers for me keeping it. One was the fact that when I plugged in my headphones, the speakers would still play. The other being the fact that I couldn't record anything with Audacity. I think there was another thing... alas... But! I'm rooming with a computer science major. I'll see if he's into Linux, and maybe he can give me a hand when we've got spare time. I wanna put it back on, but I'm sick of the frustration of being stranded with some bad errors/dysfunctions that I am ignorant of the origins. I hope that makes sense...
