Cheese on VirtualBox "no device found"



Hi Folks,

 

I am a professor at Western New England University. I am interested in having some of my students work with Cheese. However, I cannot get Cheese to work. My environment is:

 

Dell Lattitude E6500

VirtualBox 4.1.2

Windows XP host (32 bit)

Fedora 15 guest

GNOME 3

Logitech C310 webcam

 

Cheese appears to be successfully installed and the webcam works on native XP. VirtualBox can see the USB, but it is still is not recognizing the device as a web cam. I have added filters for that and for the printer, which VirtualBox correctly recognizes. However, Cheese cannot connect to the web cam. The characteristics are:

 

Cheese is showing “no device found”

All menu options are grayed out except sending things to trash and Help.

VirtualBox USB device listing is showing:  Unknown device 046D:081B [0010]

Lsusb provides (no printer attached):  

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021

 

My constraints are such that I can’t move students to native Linux machines. I’ve also been unsuccessful in finding a solution either on the Cheese or VirtualBox forums.

 

Any help would be most appreciated!!

 

Thanks,

Heidi
