virtual box cannot detect webcam in ubuntu
- by user23950
I have installed virtual box for ubuntu 9.10. I installed a windows xp inside it. And I don't know why it does not make the webcam available for the yahoo messenger installed in xp.
When I click on the device in the interface of virtual box. I can see the webcam but it is grayed out. And I don't know why. It is also not available when I use wine to execute yahoo messenger.
And I know that it is working because I can see its working when I use skype for ubuntu.
Any suggestions?Its an acer aspire laptop, the webcam is built in.
