Danial Behzadi, one of a handful on things you would want to clear up
first before reporting is as per
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t
-series-laptops/thinkpad-t430 an update to your computer's buggy and
outdated BIOS is available (2.69). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it address the issue?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Also, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status
Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Green Screen instead of video stream

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I found that in some software, e.g. gnome-sushi, cheese,  etc. video stream is malfunctioning.
  Due to this bug, the output of video is shown as a simple green screen, but the audio is fine.
  Here you can check the gnome-sushi bug I submitted earlier: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-sushi/+bug/1512316
  I attached a screenshot and some files dumped by apport from cheese, to this issue.
