Advent Webcam

[lizandeen]

I have an Advent 9215 laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 installed. The problem is I cannot get the inbuilt webcam to work! (Cheese,Skype-no devices found,other alerts- no /dev/video0).Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, lizandeen

to load a driver for it...

or...possibly


lsusb it..may..be listed as a USB device
