    Greetings,
    Has anyone been able to get the webcam to work in Stickam. I've looked at the Flash settings and it seems to register the webcam but no video is displayed. The webcam works find with Messenger and Skype. Any help would be appreciated. BTW it doesn't work in UStream either. Thanks in advance,
    D5wstat

    I'm just bumping this up because I'm having the same problem, does anyone have a solution? I'm on Linpus Lite if that matters.

    You need to update flash.
    I think some people have had trouble doing this,
    here's is a manual method...

    Download: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/fl ... e.i386.rpm
    And extract the files:
    $rpm2cpio flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv
    Back up your existing plugin
    $sudo mv /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so.bak
    And replace with the new one
    $sudo cp ./usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
    Then you need to restart firefox.

    If it all goes wrong, you can just reinstate the original (.so.bak) file.
    (it's possible the proper setup script does more, but this has worked for me so far).
    Finally, you can check to make sure your new plugin is working by opening "about:plugins" as a url in firefox.

    Best, -Duncan.
