Are there any PPAs with webcam drivers? If there would be a good PPA with Webcam drivers, it would be very great.

Many cheaper laptops are equipped with an Intel video chip. The config file 20-intel.conf is located in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

Which settings and options within the 20-intel.conf file are necessary to obtain a maximum performance for gaming and watching videos?

Is it safe to install ubuntu-restricted-addons and ubuntu-restricted-extras in Linux Mint 20 Xfce, or will they break the system?

This webcam is recognised in VLC by opening /dev/video0 and functions in VLC, but Skype for Linux doesn't recognise the webcam, camera windows is black. Even running Skype by invoking LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skypeforlinux or LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux...

I think that there is a problem with the Linux Mint's download servers. Maybe they are being attacked by a Ddos attack?

You're very welcome.

I only hope that python-is-python3 package doesn't mess up anything else. Not my area, so I'm not sure.

Or simply run in the terminal

Code: Select all

python3 youtube-dl

if you are not sure whether

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-is-python3

will cause problems in the future.

Let's see the output of lsmod please. If uvcvideo isn't in the list, try sudo modprobe -v uvcvideo and see if cheese then can find the camera. Also, does apt policy libv4l-0 show as installed? lsmod shows: Module Size Used by gspca_stv06xx 32768 0 gspca_main 24576 2 gspca_stv06xx videobuf2_vmalloc ...

Okay, pulse doesn't recognize it as a sound device. First, see if post #17 here helps. You might also need to run sudo modprobe snd-usb-audio This was referenced from another page with the same camera that you have. I have run sudo modprobe snd-usb-audio . I have done the following instructions at ...

Are you using a PPA? Mine are still at 18.2.2 (updated system this morning). Using PPAs like Updated Open Graphics Drivers - since 2011! to update your graphics subsystem (X11, Mesa) can wreak your system. Because they can cause dependency problems and version conflicts with your installed Mint ver...

Problem solved. Uncomment the line "force_color_prompt=yes" in the .bashrc in the /etc/skel directory and copy that file to your home directory:

I don't like a monochrome terminal in Linux Mint 19.1 Xfce. It is just like MS-DOS or the default Dos box of Windows XP, which were monochrome terminals too. And different items in the terminal window aren't clearly distinctive when it's monochrome. I edited the .bashrc file in /etc/skel by uncommen...

The badblocks command can also be used on optical drives to scan your CDs and DVDs for bad sectors. For example "badblocks -tv /dev/sr0" sr0 is the CD-ROM drive. A similar command for scanning optical media is cdck.

Doesn't use Linux Mint 18.x use the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file anymore? Rather stupid that the Xorg -configure command sais that there is no device to configure.
