Title:
  No webcam video input ubuntu 14.04 x86_64

Status in v4l-utils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I tried different webcams on different machines with Ubuntu 14.04 x86,
  x86_64 and Ubuntu 14.10 x86_64.

  This is a BIG trouble : No video on 14.04 x86_64 systems !

  Latest tests :
  Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64
  Lowlatency Kernel and Generic kernel on a second machine.

  lsusb : Bus 003 Device 003: ID 093a:2621 Pixart Imaging, Inc. PAC731x Trust Webcam
  No image on /dev/video0

  vlc : "main demux error: option v4l2-exposure does not exist"
  guvcview : "Could not grab image (select timeout): Resource temporarily unavailable"
  cheese : no output
  skype : nothing

  Same cam pluged on my netbook under Ubuntu x86 : worked out of the box with the same softwares.
  Tried on a Ubuntu 14.10 x86_64 Laptop : perfect

  Two of my customers have the same problem with logitech webcams under
  Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64.

  Any idea ?
  I can't ask them to use normal versions with only 6 months lifetime !
