Just installed Drupal Quickstart which puts Ubuntu 11.04 in VirtualBox. The creepy thing is that my webcam is on and I can't figure out why. Nothing in the host pc or Ubuntu seems to show it running, but the little blue light is on. The webcam is a Philips SPC1000NC.
Disable usb support in VM and reboot maybe. See what happens.
Seems there is a few backdoors to these webcams and people are getting some personal info from peoples homes.
Tried that and VirtualBox complained that I had another device that needed USB support. Could be the mouse.
I found a lot of folks complaining about the same problem with laptops since the 8.04 version of Ubuntu. I just unplugged the webcam at the USB port for now.
