I was poking around with this for a whole night with the Quickcam STX (046d:08d7)
and a Zoneminder Virtual appliance (http://blog.waldrondigital.com/2012/09/23/zoneminder-virtual-machine-appliance-for-vmware-esxi-workstation-fusion/)

It would not work at all, i only got green or black images with digital noise on it. The Zoneminder log was also full of errors like ‘zmc -d /dev/video0′ exited abnormally, exit status 255

I found out, that on newer Ubuntu versions (the virtual appliance uses 12.04), the v4l1compat.so file is at /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/ instead of the path mentioned at step 5.

I now got a image sometimes, but it is still very buggy

I am trying to upload to “my local file” the events of zoneminder and then synch it to my Ubuntu One. How can I do it so that I shall get the evnts in the video format? Thanks advice!

Classic! How about this: how boring would a forest be if there were all the same animals and plants? And what would be the point in travelling if it was all the same from region to region? In that case we actually like and cherish differences but with humans we are not so excited about differences. That said, I’m convinced the problem is language rooted in Genesis 11 at the Tower of Babel. In Vancouver here where we are all born/raised with all the races of the rainbow, we don’t think too much about colour, in my opinion. But if the dude/dudette has an accent or zero English that usually creates more issues. Side-by-side with language is cultural differences.

I’m guessing that if the Ubuntu community defined and spoke the same language and had the same ‘culture’ this thing would explode in a few short months

It’s a great reminder that we are all in this together. Even if we have different LoCos for geographical efficiency reasons, that shouldn’t be an ideological divide. We need to collaborate with each other. Even Mars is bumpy, and as we explore a new territory, we may need to expect setbacks. But that’s when a unified group is even more important. This doesn’t mean we may not have some disagreements — but we need time to try new things out to see which approach works best.
