I have installed latest version available 3.15-0-031500-generic and
result is not convincing.


First time I launched guvcview, nothing happened as usual, no video window and no camera working. Program closed

I then launched Skype which did exactly the same apart of the camera led
which was "on" this time but no video working. When I quit Skype, the
led shut down then shortly blinked after ca. 15 sec.

Back to guvcview, the camera worked straight away. So, I closed it and
started Skype and video did not work.


When I quit and open Skype again, it does not work anymore neither with guvcview.

Back to Skype, the LED is "on" but no video... (on /dev/video0). I quit
Skype, restart it and this time no video and no LED...

Reboot-----> Skype = no video nor LED --> Quit

Guvcview = no video nor LED --> Quit

Skype = LED but no video --> Quit (LED blink when closing video options)

Guvcview = video fully working -->Quit

Skype = no video nor LED.... --> Quit

Guvcview = the same --> Quit

Skype = LED but no video --> Quit (LED blink when closing video options)

Guvcview = video working --> Quit

Skype = no video nor LED --> Quit

Guvcview = video working --> Quit

Skype = LED but no video --> Quit (LED blink when closing video options)

Skype = no video nor LED --> Quit

So it looks too random for a normal human to use the webcam!
