I am struggling here and need help. I am a linux newbie and don't want to fall back to windows if I can help it. I have Ubuntu 8.10 desktop installed and successfully installed VMware server 2.0. I built a Ubuntu guest and want to use my USB webcam in the VM but no matter what I try it doesn't work. Can someone tell me the specific steps in the host and in the guest to get a USB webcam working in a Ubuntu VM? It's a logitech 4000 webcam.

I've tried so many suggestions on these forums to try and get it working and nothing has helped.

Thanks!
