My PanP6 has recently stopped recognizing that it has a built in webcam. I don't know exactly how to fix this.

Actually this question come up once or twice a month... even I posted the question (http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1261566) back in September when my webcam 'quit working'. There's no icon above F10 to show it activates the webcam, so it's easy to miss.

So no worries since some new lucky S76 user will probably ask it again soon :)

There's no icon above F10 to show it activates the webcam, so it's easy to miss.If the picture on the System76 website is accurate, the PanP6 does have a camera icon on the F10 key. That notwithstanding, it is still easy to miss. In my experience, it is usually the "simple" stuff that messes people up. I'm always having that experience myself...
