Please note that while the above "quirk based" patch by gmiscko does make the Acer Integrated Camera work, it is an earlier attempt at the fix which was not approved by the UVC maintainer. The patch that has been signed off and sent towards upstream maintainers attempts to fix the brokenness in a

Hi Joseph The patch has landed in this repository: https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/log/ While I have no experience with this process, I was speculating that this entire branch will be pulled into mainline when the next merge window opens. But like I said, I don't actually know what to

Hi Thanks for providing the test kernel to people! I have also installed it and successfully tested. (Even I don't always recompile my own patch from source every time there's an upgrade.) The patch status is that the uvcvideo maintainer has signed-off on it, and forwarded it to linux-media

Progress is unfortunately slow. The work to be done is minimal, but response time from the maintainer has been in months. I guess this is a reflection of Linux being mostly a server OS, and the desktop side being developed in people's free time. I would have had higher hopes for Canonical

Patching and building your own kernel is indeed a bit non-trivial. Some guides were written already earlier in this thread. Personally I've used this process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel A good first step is to simply check out the right ubuntu kernel, compile it and reboot,

Hi Just wanted to ask Canonical guys: It's encouraging to see some activity on this ticket, is there any chance this will actually get into Ubuntu before next .04 release? (Or, if next release is an LTS, is there any chance this will get in right after that?) (Yeah, I'm lazy, I don't even

Hi I've submitted a patch that fixes this issue. Maybe give it a few days for comments, but would be great if Ubuntu could incorporate this patch ahead of upstream, since a lot of us seem to be using Lenovo. (Thinkpad used to be known as a brand that just worked with Linux, sad to see it's no
