One thing I didn't highlight earlier is that I am basically confirming Michael's suspicion that this works the same in Maverick as it does in Natty - i.e. nothing changed in the code base.
Note that MIchael and I also have the same hardware, so having a separate bug report for this seems to complicate rather than simplify things. And I now see another part of the confusion. The bug was changed from cheese to the kernel before we discovered that it was an issue of the camera presumably not having power. So there was no kernel regression. That's why "Fix Released" is the wrong status. >From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status Fix Released: Ubuntu bug task: a fix was uploaded to an official Ubuntu repository The issue is not specific to System76 machines. E.g. there is also a webcam button on the Advent 4211C notebook laptop (fn f6). And as I noted in my now-deleted description clarification, the Cheese application refers to Help that is not there, so this is at least a documentation issue. So I think the updated description is better and would be a service to a variety of users. And I think "Fix Released" clearly wrong. Say "won't fix" if you like, but I think the integrity of Ubuntu's bug reports is important. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/646540 Title: System76 Lemur webcam not detected -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
