[Bug 999875] Re: My camera stopped showing video feed since about two weeks ago

 

Reinis Zumbergs, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e5520 an
update is available for your BIOS (A13). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?

If not, 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

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

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

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  My camera stopped showing video feed since about two weeks ago

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1) Kubuntu 12.04 amd64
  2) v4l-utils:  Installed: 0.8.6-1ubuntu1
  3) It was working fine all the time on 11.10 and Precise Beta. And I believe it was still working after final release, but I'm not 100% sure.
  4) The returned video is just black and a bit of faint colored circle in the middle

  It's built in webcam of Dell Latitude E5520
  In lsusb, I think, it shows as "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05ca:181e Ricoh Co., Ltd"
  In vlc it shows as "CN0CJ3P2724871B9C7XGA00" - "Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_FHD"
