This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.13.17

---------------
ubiquity (2.13.17) raring; urgency=low

  * Remove webcam step (LP: #1118589):
    - User testing showed people are not expecting to be photographed and
      raise privacy concerns as to where the picture will be uploaded to.
    - Provides limited benefit, as avatar only ever shown on multi-login
      systems in the switch user indicator / pkexec.
    - Crashes the installer or doesn't work with certain webcams.
    - Miss detects camera presence, when it's just a sensor.
    - The recommendation is to move webcam test to checkbox / hw testing,
      as video conferencing is very popular these days and should work
      reliably out of the box.

  * Do not count optional pages, when updating the progress dots. This
    fixes "Porgress dots, well don't progress after partman step"
    LP: #1152746
  * Do not mark explanatory text on "Installation Type" screen
    insensitive, as otherwise it's ineligible (LP: #1074386)

  oem-config detecting camera where no camera exists

Status in “linux-ti-omap4” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  SRU:

  BUG:

  while panda boards have a camera interface, there's no camera (in the
  optical sense) attached to it

  IMPACT:

  software (like our installer) detecting the presence of a webcam
  presented the user with a black screen

  FIX:

  turn off camera interface support in Ubuntu-3.2.0-1412.15

  ---

  On omap4, the camera module is built into the kernel for development
  purposes, and creates a /dev/video0 device, but there is no actual
  camera.
