Regarding the version, type this in a console: cat /etc/issue

If you're running the final version, there will be no output like RC,
release candidate or such.

Regarding the webcam, I don't know. Look here:
http://fosswire.com/2007/08/12/quick-review-logitech-quickcam-communicate-stx/, it should work. Try this: plug it in, and enter "dmesg | tail" in a
console, to see if it was detected and what action was taken.

Cool, Chris,
Just downloaded and and tried Skype Beta w/videocall ! ;-)
Unfortunately my system seems not to recognize the connected USB
Logitech Communicate STX webcam and so does Skype ;-((

Any hints ??

TIA & cheers, svobi

Hi svobi,

I use Skype under Gutsy, but for voice-calls only. According to
http://skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/ there is a new beta of
Skype, which includes video call functionality. I have not yet come to

test it, but it should work :) If you installed skype from the gutsy
repos I believe you are using 1.4. The new 2.0 beta can be downloaded
at the location I mentioned above (as a .deb package).

Slightly off topic: Why are you using Gutsy 7.10 RC ? The final
version is out. "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" :)
And also: do you have a better networking experience with static IPs?
Dynamic IPs should work just as well.

Regards,
Chris

Hello
Since 2-3 weeks I am experimenting and using Ubuntu 7.10 RC
Gutsy ;-)
Still struggling with notebook and external TFT screen's and the
best
static IP settings of the wired and/or wireless configuration.

Finally one more difficulty:
How is Skype under Linux / Ubuntu ?
Comparable and incl. Webcam for Videocalls to Windows XP Pro ??

Skype works here without the webcam and I am not sure if I made a
mistake or I really cannot get it !?

Please advice and guide me ;-)

TIA & cheers, svobi
