Installing Logitech WebCam C210 on Ubuntu 9.04

The title is deceptive, implying one has to do something. Actually, it works right out of the box!

1. The Logitech Webcam C210 comes with a USB connector. Plug it in.
2. Install Cheese - sudo apt-get install cheese
3. Run cheese. You can now start recording video and taking pictures!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam.

  1. It is an Ok product but difficult to naviate the controlsfor the pictures and video. It doesn't have a very secure hold on my laptop.
