Title:
webcam not detected in ubuntu 11.04
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I found some bugs in Ubuntu 11.04 beta 2. This one is about my
integrated webcam not being detected.
My netbook is the new MSI wind U270. This one:
http://www.laptopshop.nl/product/127746/msi-wind-12-u270-004nl.html
I found a number of links, like this one:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1629538
which mentioned I could find information about my webcam with commands like
lsusb, lsmod, dmesg.
If I run gstreamer properties in the terminal, it opens the "Multimedia
Systems Selector". I can then test the video input, and get the following
message:
[quote]
Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'
[/quote]
And this is the output from the terminal:
[code]
~$ gstreamer-properties

[/code]
This is the output from lsusb:
[code]

This is the output from lsmod | grep video:
[code]
lsmod | grep video
video 19438 0
[/code]
After installing cheese, it either gives me a message that it can't find a
camera (no '/dev/video0') or it just doesn't open at all, and I have to force
quit it.
I posted this is a forum, and was told to file this as a bug report, I hope
this is useful.
