@penalvch: No. It's not an issue any more! ;)

Title:
  Webcam doesn't work anymore

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My webcam was working well in previous releases of Ubuntu. It even
  worked well during installation of 12.04 and I could take pictures for
  my account ".face", but It doesn't work after restarting to installed
  system. I couldnt take any picture from cheese or VLC with the message
  "No device found". I searched for the device in /dev/ directory and
  there was no video0 node. I searched for that in Intermet and I found
  this page: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=71236

  I made the node and gave access to it with this commands, but nothing happened:
  sudo mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
  sudo chmod 666 /dev/video0

  Then I called the module "gspca_vc032x " with:
  sudo modprobe gspca_vc032x
  and opened cheese. It worked, the webcam LED turned on and I had picture for about 5 seconds and after that it doesn't go on at all. I tested removing and recalling the "gspca_vc032x " module twice, but there were no point. this is the tail of dmesg:
