Re: Estimated time of official release for Australia
My Goodness Scott that was quick ! Many thanks As soon as I have burned and tested the various flavours Intend to whack up on a torrent to take the load off the mirrors and servers by seeding via Mininova I must say extraordinary interest in this release Much more so than observed in previous ones .

Re: Ubuntu-Au Forum
Well Done and thanks Bronze What we have observed over here is that most Noobs just find it a pain and too much hassle to use some of the canonicle interfaces being very new Thus imo the Ubuntu and linux community in general chase off in part a valuable resource /user pool . Many are so used to gmail and groups some ISP have ditched usenet News groups altogther and thus manystay with this type of forum . Additionally I must say the silence was deafening from Oz ubuntu source forge area when attempting to join Here was able to join the Gmail group far more easily (this is no crticism of the hard working busy members from the oz source forge clan) Thus your Idea gets my vote and a Few Dollars if you need them and could almost guarantee over 20 folks day one Re fragmenting the communities I dont think so IMO the noobs would grow into the better and traditional communities via what you propose and through here in an Australian way . Take West oz Tas and NTACT representation -- I do not see much on the source forge area from them . As one new Ubuntu user well over 18 months now since I gave him a disc and set him up remarked this morning Some of the Ubuntu folks just talk a bit too geeky for me and no locals. Another indicator is how many whirlpool folks after a bit of whim contact after ahelpful post or offer to send solution script disk via whim or private email would enjoy and use what you propose (IMO) Thus like chicken soup -it cant hurt . I add my how can I help offer to your plan That way Linux and Ubuntu in particular benefits as have many remote and city folks because an individual got of thier tail and just went for it .

Hello all thought time to join via this NG Location Mid West of WA Ubuntu user since 08/08 Have burned and distributed over 200 discs to potential users oz wide since December 06 for free By no means techie or software savvy just bumble through and usually solve issues for self or others by trial and error scouring forums etc Live near Bary Kauler of puppy Linux who actually also uses Ubuntu and others to stay up to date (lovely bloke) Few Tech heads in Geradton and Perth want to kick on Ubuntu a bit over here by reapiring old junked boxes and giving to the oldies and those that cant afford or been exposed to 'puters much before . This has now created interest at senior Govt Level and agree its a good idea . Go hard but sorry no funds to help .But good work any way . Oldies who have hardly touched a machine before are using Ubuntu without any problems So how do we rekindle Ubuntu activity in West oz ?

Re: webcam drivers for ubuntu 9.04
Here is a Video Tutorial for you on how to get WebCam working in Ubuntu 9.04 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WajZ_pCh7Ag Please be aware that some Webcams do not work, but Logitech cam's almost always DO work! ;-) So I hope you have a Logitech... or a few different cams to try out... Just plug it in, get the msn client from that video i liked above and it will work out of the box you do not download and install drivers in linux like you do in windows if linux does not have the driver it will ask to download it otherwise it just won't work unless ur a ultra nerd who can rebuild the os to include it... never needed these days its all plug and play On 28 Oct, 17:48, depro wrote: > Where can I find a suitable Driver on the web, so I can use the webcam > on my laptop.

Re: webcam drivers for ubuntu 9.04
It really depends on the chipset that the camera is using, also some of the older cams need some tweaking to get them working. What model camera is it?
