My Microsoft LifeCam VX3000 no longer works on 18.04 using Cheese. Worked before with 16.40
Microphone is fine but no video.
No image on Skype either.
I can see the camera on "lsusb".
VLC error: "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2:///dev/video0'
log:
v4l2 error: cannot set format: Device or resource busy
v4l2 error: not a radio tuner device
v4l2 error: cannot set format: Device or resource busy
But works fine on Camorama.
Any ideas please?

          Works pefectly (better than on m$ ;-). All you need to do is to add user to group 'video'.

                    How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

                    Image
                    3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

                    Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

                    0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder.

                    Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

                    Image
                    up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx...
