webcam not recognised ubuntu 64-bit 10.04 LTS

I've been helping a friend (via email) in an attempt to set up a new 
Logitech C270 webcam with his ubuntu box.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech 
suggests that it should work ok.

Have installed cheese as an experiment - no live streaming.

Expected the device ID for this webcam to be 046d:0825 so tried

dmesg | grep 046d:0825

which did not yield any clues.

The system appears not to recognise the new device when it's plugged 
into a known good USB port.   Device not listed in output of lsusb.   No 
relevant entries at all in syslog or kern.log - any other logs that 
should be checked?   Would you expect to see some sort of attempt at 
communication in the logs, even if it's to indicate that the 
communication has failed?
