It might be your webcam not working, use

Code: Select all

lsusb
Which should return something like:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 064e:a110 Suyin Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c51a Logitech, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
In my case my webcam is the first listing, Suyin Corp. Use the ID and Google to find the correct driver with this string:

Code: Select all

064e:a110 ubuntu
Replace the ID with your, of course.

Try removing aMSN and install it from the repositories, it looks like you have a bad install.
