I have had a problem with Karmic not recognizing my Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks Pro.

It has worked flawlessly in previous releases.

I have discovered if you plug-in the camera before booting-up my PC it works fine.

May be worth you trying the same if you haven't previously done so.

I realize that this is just a work-around, but it may suffice, until a permanent fix comes out.
