Listing usb devices in my system
When I type the command in Terminal 'lsusb' nothing happens, whereas 'lspci' gives a list.

Re: Listing usb devices in my system
That is weird. Make sure is installed. Try running in a terminal to see if it shows any info on USB. If you look at the output of lspci, it should have an entry like "USB Controller". See if it is recognized. Do any USB devices work in Mint?

I have rechecked thru Package Manager that 'usbutils' are installed.
In the virtual box when I try to mount webcam I get the following message
USB device 'USB camera' with UUID {c21966a6-d2e6-406b-add9-7cb5cb743228} is busy with a previous request. Please try again later.

I do not understand what this means.
My usb mouse is working well.
I have downloaded the driver for Philipos Funcam on Desktop pwc-10.0.12-rc1.tar.bz2 ( available from http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/files/
I extracted it but not able to install it.
Any advice is welcome. As I use Skype extensively, not having webcam - voice chat would be a problem for my total migration to Mint
Thanks in advance
Re: Listing usb devices in my system
Is Mint installed in a virtual machine? If so, then this changes everything. You should have mentioned this to start with. A virtual machine is not the same as a hard drive install. USB is not supported by default in virtual machines. What virtual machine are you running?

Re: Listing usb devices in my system
You can't get USB support with the virtualbox open source version from the repos. If you have that, uninstall and use this to install and set it up with USB support: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04 ... heron.html As for installing drivers, you have to compile them from source if they aren't in .deb format. Here is another link to explain anything you ever wanted to know about installing things in Mint/Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/

A couple of queries:
- I have Virtualbox 1.6.2 installed in XP.Do I uninstall this version.
If so, what version I download in XP, as I have to open it in XP to install Mint .iso in it
If I uninstall VBox wil I also not lose ALL I have done within Elyssa
The site you have mentioned shows command lines for upgrading, updating it. Do I use thenm within Mint
Re: Listing usb devices in my system
I didn't see your last post. I assumed you were running virtualbox with Linux as a host. That tutorial was for using Linux as the host. I don't think it is possible to get USB support with XP as a host. You are basically stuck without USB from within Windows on that one.Did you try the webcam while running the live CD? That would be a better way to try it. You will also be able to run lsusb from there.

On lsusb command the Terminal shoes
dnmint@dnmint-laptop ~ $ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0471:0321 Philips

Therefore the Camera is now recognized. Now I have to make it functional by installing driver
I have downloaded the driver for Philipos Funcam on Desktop pwc-10.0.12-rc1.tar.bz2 ( available from website http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/files/
I extracted it but not able to install it.

It seems it is getting closer to being resolved- with your timely help
Thanks in advance
Any advice?
