I am trying to run an ubuntu 11, in VMplayer 5 on an ubuntu 12.04 host, and when trying to run the guest, i get this error, and no display.

The specified device is claimed by another driver (uvcvideo) on the host operating system. The device might be in use. To Continue, the device will first be disconnected from its current driver.

I also found a sort of related comment ( RESOLVED ) on similar issue on:
