Ubunto 8.04 and Logitech Webcam Deluxe software

[mazatl]

I just bought the webcam listed above and find that the software on the disk does not list linux as a compatible type. How can I use the webcam with my ubuntu desktop? Thanks.

Your web cam may work out of the box. Install cheese, it is available for installation in Add/Remove Programs, Sysnaptic Package Manager and of course the command line.

If it doesn't work could you paste the output of:


lsusb

in your next post.

You will have to open a Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal for the above command.
