systemdlete | Finally got my webcam working again in vbox VMs. Turns out that I had to enable usb 3.0 for a webcam that is usb 2.0. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the port it is plugged into, which is a usb 3.0. I would hope they'd be back compatible. | 08:03 |

systemdlete | At any rate video and mic (both crummy, btw) are now working for me, so I am happy. | 08:03 |
systemdlete | I say "crummy" because this is a cheapo Microsoft VX-800 I picked up for about $5 in one of those huge bins near the front door at Fry's Electronics. | 08:04 |
systemdlete | And even then, I likely overpaid. | 08:04 |
systemdlete | I'll point out that I have a new mainboard in the machine hosting the VMs. But I would also think, there too, that such issues would be abstract to the VM environment. | 08:05 |
ficonni | hi, I would like to ask if I made a mistake when choosing the netinstall image : I have a Thinkpad x220 and the netinstall tells me the firmware is missing and must be loaded from a CD/DVD (like in Debian) but on the website it says for the netinstall the image includes firmware ? I probably can't see my mistake, can you help me ? I want to install it now | 21:58 |
ficonni | talking about the wifi drivers | 21:59 |
fsmithred | ficonni, you can ignore that first message | 22:07 |
fsmithred | you will be able to install firmware-iwlwifi (probably will be automatic) | 22:07 |
fsmithred | the question is there in case your firmware is not on the CD. (i.e. some broadcoms) | 22:08 |
ficonni | thanks for responding. Here's some output runing lspci regarding Ethernet and Network controlers. I guess these will be supported ? They were in stock Debian. 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [Condor Peak] | 22:12 |
gnarface | ficonni: it's the same exact kernel | 22:19 |
ficonni | ok yes makes sense now that you say it lol | 22:20 |
ficonni | thank again | 22:20 |
