How can I install the drivers for the Logitech QuickCam Connect on Linux?

[josephbluefish]

I have Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition, with WINE, 2 GB's of RAM, nVidia GeForce 8800 GT, and the Logitech QuickCam Connect. How can I get the WebCam, or just the microphone in it, to work? I am new to Ubuntu, so please give as much detail as possible!

You don't.It's a very odd concept for newcomers to Linux to adjust to, but for 98% of devices out there, the distribution either has all of the "drivers" it needs to run the device, or there aren't any available, period. Odds are, your camera is already working; you just need to use a program that uses it. Try playing a webcam Flash game on the internet. If it detects your camera, then you know it works.http://www.newgrounds.com/game/webcamgames
