How to install webcam for lenovo y510 on ubuntu 8.10 i386
 

Hi.
I finally am giving ubuntu a try after using windows xp for many years and recently bought a computer with vista.
I installed ubuntu 8.10 on my lenovo y510 which has an integrated web camera. On vista it used LenovoEasyCameraDriver.exe. But this driver is made for vista. Is there a driver or program I can use to be able to use my web camera.

Thanks,

hey! i want to consult you with one thing and it is really important for me and thanks very much for your time!

could you tell me where you download the ubuntu 8.10 ?? i have got one,but i can not install it! because it says 699M but it is actually 698.8M.and i have checked it, some file missing! ~

so~ if you know ,please tell me~thanks in advance

I downloaded it here . Now I was having problems to install it to my second partition at first as AutoPlay from the DVD I burned it onto. I think it was due to a bad image mounting. So, after a few tries, what I did was. Instead of auto play, I right clicked on the DVD and clicked on explore. I then opened the umenu.exe . I then had the option of installing ubuntu - mythbuntu. Since I was only opening the umenu.exe on the DVD the other files were obviously missing, it automatically connected to a server and downloaded the whole thing and installed it automatically. (or something like that):scratch:


Now, it would be nice if someone answered my question.:confused:

ok,thanks! which location you chose to download?
