Problems With Logitech Communicator STX Webcam on Ubuntu 9.10 & Skype 2.1
Tough two weeks until I got them all play together nicely. Now they do. How come? Why did it take so long? There are many tutorials out there solving the problem by making Skype use Linux for Video version 1 drivers instead of version 2, which it does not seem to like. It boils down to the following lines:
Create a file in /usr/local/bin/skype and insert
#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
finally, make it executable by sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/skype
Use this file to start Skype from now on. Done.
But not for me. Skype refused to eat it: “ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.”
Until I finally found this one here — and **** yes, I searched, read and tried a lot of nice forum entries.
Just to cut a long story short, here is why: all the other solutions work for 32bit Linux only – but hey, I do not have any potential of my laptop to waste – I am running Kubuntu 9.10 64bit. And with a minor tweak, the fix will work for you, too. 
Get this. sudo apt-get install lib32v4l-0
And change /usr/local/bin/skype to LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
Its just about the “32″. **** **! 
Thanks Eoin Murphy.

This movie was a big challenge for me, because although I was the worst drawer in the whole group for sure, I got the chance to do the drawings for the movie. Some sleepless nights with a pencil, quite some sheets of paper and some pots of fruit tea — but finally, this small movie became something beautiful and unique and I ended up quite happy and proud . The video part and the coloration of the drawn part was done by collegues.

My first movie! A stop-motion movie about a bird. It is horribly much work — approximately one hour to do one second of film, but it would always do it again!
But see yourself below!
