How to make virtually any webcam work with Skype in Linux Mint 9 Isadora - Gnome 32-Bit:

How to make virtually any webcam work with Skype in Linux Mint 9 Isadora - Gnome 32-Bit:

(1) Install Skype v2.1.081 Beta either via Terminal (sudo apt-get install skype) or via Software Manager
(2) Install Video4Linux Control Panel (v4l2ucp) either via Terminal (sudo apt-get install v4l2ucp) or via Software Manager
(3) Run "v4l2ucp" from a Terminal (sudo v4l2ucp)
(4) From the top bar, select 'preview'.
(5) Select 'configure preview'.
(6) In the 'application to use line' replace mplayer with Skype.
(7) Click 'OK" and close the sub-menu.
(8) In the preview menu, select "start preview"
(9) This will start your Skype program. Sign in with your Username and Password and you are ready to go with Video Calls (just to make sure everything works, test your video - from Skype menu go to Options and Video Devices)

Just so you won't have to start the Video4Linux Control Panel via Terminal console command line (sudo v4l2ucp) everytime you can set a Desktop shortcut to it.
Depending on what version of Linux Mint you have installed you will find the Video4Linux Control Panel in one of these two locations:

Filesystem/usr/share/applications or Filesystem/usr/share/app-install/desktop

Just right click on the Video4Linux Control Panel icon and choose Copy to/Desktop and you will get the icon on your desktop for faster and easier access.

Проблема с NO_PUBKEY:

При установке пакетов в Ubuntu Linux, например, с помощью команды apt-get иногда возникает ошибка вида «W: GPG error: [..] Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY [..]

Решение

sudo apt-get update

дождитесь строк типа

W: Ошибка: deb.opera.com unstable Release: Следующие подписи не могут быть проверены, так как недоступен открытый ключ: NO_PUBKEY 10B3F6FDBE35DEDD

10B3F6FDBE35DEDD — это КЛЮЧ, он разный для разных репозиториев
