If you want to try yourself, this is what worked for me on a E550, Ubuntu 15.10:
uname -a # check your current kernel version, then download the same version # note, no root! apt-get source linux-image-extra-4.2.0-19-generic # install packages needed to build the kernel sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-extra-4.2.0-19-generic sudo apt-get install git cd linux-4.2.0 wget -O webcam.patch https://launchpadlibrarian.net/229627414/0001-uvcvideo-Acer-Integrated-Camera-5986-055a-add-UVC_QU.patch git apply webcam.patch you can now change the version in debian/changelog, adding "-webcam" or something of the like, which makes it easier to identify your kernel package. DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=4 AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic # now wait until kernel is built, this takes some time sudo dpkg -i ../linux-headers*.deb ../linux-image*.deb Then, reboot. You'll have to repeat this process if Ubuntu updates kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1433906 Title: Acer, Inc ID 5986:055a is useless after 14.04.2 installed.
