			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to everyone helping me out, making this instruction better. Once again, this shall help you getting a Logitech QuickCam Messenger (ID: <strong>046d:<span style="color: #dd0000">08f0</span></strong>) running on Linux Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) using Skype. <strong>Please don&#8217;t waste any time posting instructions for other webcams. We don&#8217;t care! </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.kuhrti.de/wp-content/uploads/mess.gif"><img src="http://www.kuhrti.de/wp-content/uploads/mess.gif" alt="" title="Logitch Quickcam Messenger" width="115" height="115" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-202" /></a></p>
<p>To make sure, you got the right cam, plug it into your computer.<br />
Check if your camera matches my ID by running:</p>
<div class="shell">lsusb | grep QuickCam</div>
<p>There should be something like this:</p>
<div class="codeBlock">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="codeLines">Bus 008 Device 003: ID 046d:08f0 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messenger</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>If your ID matches, please continue, otherwise you might be lucky and can start installing Gstfakevideo straight away. However this &#8220;Howto&#8221; was only tested for a QuickCam Messenger with the ID above. For other IDs please take a look here: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams</a></p>
<p>All you need before we start:</p>
<div class="shell">sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev pkg-config subversion linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential</div>
<p>Remove the old <em>quickcam_messenger</em> module because it will not deliver the correct colors for our cam. If you do find a solution for this problem, please leave a comment! Thanks. Anyway removing the installed module:</p>
<div class="shell">sudo rmmod quickcam_messenger</div>
<p>To make sure it is not going to be loaded again we add the following line at the end of <em>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf</em></p>
<div class="codeBlock">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="codeLines">blacklist quickcam_messenger</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>Download the new qcmessener module:</p>
<div class="shell">wget http://home.mag.cx/messenger/source/qc-usb-messenger-1.8.tar.gz<br />
tar xzvf qc-usb-messenger-1.8.tar.gz<br />
cd qc-usb-messenger-1.8</div>
<p>Apply this patch:</p>
<div class="shell">wget -v http://kuhrti.de/files/qc_2.6.28_patch.txt<br />
patch -p0 &lt; qc_2.6.28_patch.txt</div>
<p>Continue installing:</p>
<div class="shell">make<br />
sudo make install<br />
sudo insmod ./qcmessenger.ko</div>
<p><strong>Ignore the &#8220;Kernel configuration is invalid.&#8221; errors.</strong></p>
<p>Give it a test:</p>
<div class="shell">sudo qcset /dev/video0 compat=dblbuf<br />
sudo gst-launch-0.10 v4lsrc device=/dev/video0 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink</div>
<p>If every thing works go on and install Gstfakevideo:</p>
<div class="shell">svn checkout http://gstfakevideo.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gstfakevideo<br />
cd gstfakevideo<br />
make<br />
sudo make install</div>
<p>Create a new file (i.e. in your home directory) called skype.sh and add these lines:</p>
<div class="codeBlock">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="codeLines">#!/bin/sh<br />gstfakevideo v4lsrc device=/dev/video1 ! ffmpegcolorspace</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>And run:</p>
<div class="shell">chmod a+x skype.sh</div>
<p>Now reload the module</p>
<div class="shell">sudo rmmod qcmessenger<br />
sudo modprobe qcmessenger compatible=6 video_nr=1</div>
<p>Info: run
<div class="shell">sudo modinfo qcmessenger</div>
<p> to view more options.</p>
<p>Create a new file /etc/modprobe.d/qcmessenger.conf and add:</p>
<div class="codeBlock">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="codeLines">options qcmessenger compatible=6 video_nr=1</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>This makes sure, that your webcam will always be /dev/video1 (as /dev/vidoe0 is needed for gstfakevideo) and uses &#8220;dblbuf&#8221; (correct colors).</p>
<p>Add your account to the &#8220;video&#8221; group:</p>
<div class="shell">sudo usermod -a -G video &lt;YOUR USER NAME&gt;</div>
<p>Finally fire up Skype by running skype.sh. That&#8217;s it!</p>
<p>Please leave a comment if you got some problems or want to give me feedback.</p>
<p>Here is a test image.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wer ihn noch nicht kennt, sollte den folgenden Artikel unbedingt gelesen haben:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/opensource/articles/Linux_ist_nicht_Windows/">Linux ist nicht Windows</a></p>
<p>Im Kern des Arikels geht es darum, dass Linux eine Alternative, aber keinesfalls einen vollständigen Ersatz für Windows bietet. Desweitern geht der Autor auf die unterschiedelichen Ziele beider Systeme ein und versucht zu verdeutlichen, dass Linux eben nicht Windows ist und auch nicht so werden will.</p>
<p>Meine persönliche Lieblingsstelle ist folgender Absatz:</p>
<blockquote><p>Der &#8216;typische&#8217; Linux-Nutzer ist ein Hobbyist: Er benutzt Computer, weil Computer Spaß machen, Programmierung Spaß macht, Hacking Spaß macht. Und Linux ist ein weitaus besseres Betriebssystem für einen Hobbyhacker: Er kann es nach Belieben bis zur untersten Ebene auseinander nehmen und wieder zusammensetzen. </p></blockquote>
<p>Wer also Linux Nutzer ist, um von Windows wegzukommen, aber selber gar nicht daran interessiert ist einen eigenen Kernel zu backen, weil ihm das zu &#8220;nerdig&#8221; erscheint, der ist mit Linux eigentlich mit dem falschen Betriebssystem unterwegs und sollte laut Artikel lieber auf Mac wechseln.</p>
