[clue-tech] Installfest 22jan : Help with CUPS, Audio & Skype on Ubuntu

[dennisjperkins at comcast.net]

I've had good luck with CUPS, so I might be able to fix that problem. I've never tried Skype but I would like to see it. Someone in France has been writing webcam drivers, so we might be able to get yours working.

Hi, If anyone is planning on being at the installfest on the 22nd, 
that has experience with any of the following any advice 
in trouble shooting or configuring the following would be greatly accepted. 

I hope to arrive at the installfest by 10am, and will be tinkering until 
either the problems are solved or I run out of time. 

1. Computer : 
dell inspiron 1545 
running ubuntu 0.10 2.6.35-24 generic 
Just ran the latest updates this morning. 

Problem: after the last CUPS update, it no longer connects/prints to the 
home HP Laserjet 1320 printer. I have tried several tips online but no joy yet. 
I will bring in both computer, printer and necessary cables to the installfest. 

2. Computer : 
Dell Latitude D630 
running kubuntu 
Linux renoster 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 00:51:09 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux 
Updated all the packages this morning. 

Problem: 
2a. Audio configuration : when I play a internet video - the video displays but no sound. 
2b.Skype: I would like to get skype working on this machine. I have an old logitech webcam, 
which i would like to see if I can get to work. 
(windows 7 said it was unsupported but maybe Linux can make it work) 

TIA 
- Todd.
