My mini's web cam works great in Cheese and in the Dell video chat application. However when I log in to tokbox.com or any other web based chat program that uses Adobe Flash for video, the web cam shows up as a device to select, but then no video is displayed. I talked with Dell support and they told me it wasn't their job to support Flash. I read on the Ubuntu forums that Flash 9 has this problem. But I can't update to Flash 10 because the Dell repositories don't contain the update and the Adobe's Deb version won't install since it is i386 not lpia. I just want to video chat in a web browser with my Windows friends...am I completely out of luck?

I just pulled up the site and from past experience with phpBB using sites, it could just be too much traffic for the connection to the MySQL server right now.

May want to post your problem over at the above forum since it has quite an active Ubuntu Mini base...
