[Bug 1433298] Re: integrated web cam stopped working suddenly

 

Christopher Barrington-Leigh, could you please test the latest upstream
kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the
release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the
daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ?
It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.XY-rcZ

Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-3.XY-rcZ

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  integrated web cam stopped working suddenly

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
