I've installed Ubuntu 13.04 on a Lenovo G580.
Now I noticed that the built-in (web)cam is not being recognized. Does anybody know how to fix this and get the webcam running?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks
I've downloaded/installed the suggested program and the webcam is working within that program.
However, when running Camera Test from the System Testing here's what happens:
- when clicking on "Test", there's NO image showing up
- a few seconds after clicking on "Test", an error message is popping
up saying "Sorry, Ubuntu 13.04 has experienced an internal error"
When going to Skype, video is enable and under "select webcam" there's "Lenovo EasyCamera (/dev/video0) as only option selected. But, Skype doesn't recognize the camera as there's no pictures.
Any ideas on how to get this straightened out?
