Public bug reported:
My webcam used to work. It doesn't work anymore. I've tried cheese and
gstreamer-properties. The LED indicator does turn on but then nothing
happens. It just hangs. I am not sure how to check what kind of webcam
hardware I have. I have a thinkpad x300 with a builtin webcam. The green
LED of the webcam turns on when trying to use it from cheese or
gstreamer-properties but I am not getting any video. Gstreamer-
properties just keeps showing "Testing..." and nothing else happens.
