Public bug reported:

I'm on a Lenovo X230T running Ubuntu 14.04 and I regularly video chat for work.
2.5 weeks ago, my camera didn't come on during google chrome google video chat.
It still worked when I ran cheese.
Then, it stopped work under cheese, g-chat, or skype. It didn't work even when I booted into 14.10 or 15.04.

Then, a week ago, after another update, it began working normally again.
Yesterday, during a gchat , my video suddenly went off and now the integrated camera doesn't work again under guvcview or cheese or etc.  An external camera works.

Once again, this problem is consistent across operating systems.
