Ubuntu 13.10 with Linux 3.11.0-13 and the bug is still back here. Camera
works only in VLC, other software like Cheese or Skype show black screen
or artifacts. VLC every 2nd start shows too dark video (so only 1st
start the video is OK). Once I managed to see camera view in Cheeze by
changing resolution. But the problem stays that if I close Cheeze and
run it again video is too dark.

Title:
  Lenovo EasyCamera not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Lenovo EasyCamera is detected in Ubuntu 12.10, 64bits but does not
  work.

  Skype, Gmail chat, etc detect the camera (under /dev/video0) but the
  camera output is a black screen and the camera light never gets
  activated.

  I've tried solutions as the one depicted here without luck:
