Hi All,
Back from FAT testing last week spent the day updating JIRA tickets with results and playing with the camera that was bought for taking photo evidence. Using the basic interface it is just acceptable, As it is a web camera rather than a DSLR we can't use the recommended DigiCamControl. It is an Anran 'AN 80-F' I have been using the iSpy 64 software which gets around most of the issues we were seeing. I was wondering if there were any better options you know of...

Apparently some web cams can be controlled after suitable payment.

I have this allusion that I can except that sometimes people get words mixed up, but then realize it effects me to the point that I must allude conversation with them.

In a long experience with Ubuntu (well, LUbuntu) I never had such a problem.
Unfortunately I don't know a workaround for that.

Apparently I haven't had the problem either.
Thanks so much. Somehow I've literally been typing my password for weeks without actually knowing it. I was one character off today and couldn't get it. Yes, I'm obviously senile and a savant at the same time, because I can type a password incorrectly for weeks then not know it.
OY!!

You are welcome and, for sure, not alone on that.
I keep typing wrong passwords at work, just because the company password policy is insane and, above all, I am an old dog.

You might be able to boot to single user. Generally CTL-X, at the boot screen, then add "single" to the kernel boot parameters.
Alternatively, get a Knoppix (or other) Live CD/DVD and boot from that. Mount the root partition from the laptop's hard drive, and blank the password in /etc/shadow
e.g from something like this:
k5054:$6$gVGCezrmD49p1H/a$S2YUlUknRaPHIjdskN6dQ1GJeZpxxg4hlnuCB68CO8ZgmGEmAQiYjn0wjc83bM8aGOaYTdprtva0rIRRGVLSu1:18108:0:99999:7::: to this
k5054::18108:0:99999:7:::
Save, reboot, change password when you get logged in.
Next, generate ssh-keys for your both your Desktop and Laptop, and do a ssh-copy-id between the two. You should now be able to ssh in either direction without a password. If you'd prefer to retain the security of a password, add a password when doing the ssh-keygen.
If you'd prefer not to hard-boot the laptop you might be able to CTL-ALT-DEL to trigger a reboot (or a tap on the power button might work too). If the "Vulcan Neck Pinch" doesn't work from a GUI screen, you should be able to get to a non-gui login using CTL-ALT-Fn. I'm not sure which virtual console Ubuntu uses. Fedora uses VT1, and other systems uses VT7 or VT5, so try F4 or F6.
