    Crap....
    Well, let's wait and see what the Sys76 guys say. I can't think of anything right now.

    Press Fn+F12 on your keyboard. My guess is that somehow the update turned off the camera, and that will toggle it back on.

    Yay, isantop!

    I tried out your answer, and even with bluetooth, it wasn't working. Then I tried out Fn+F10 because it had the camera icon on it, and now it works!

    I thought you already tried that before your first post...?

    Sorry about that, I somehow read the entire post as "Bluetooth" rather than "Camera".

    Re: Webcam not working on Gazp7

    I've been looking at this problem on a lemur ultra. The Fn+F10 key did nothing to
    start with, then I loaded various suggested other tools ... such as libwebcam0,
    xawtv. One thing I noticed was the error message from gstreamer-properties
    saying that there was no /dev/video0.

    And, reading this, I tried Fn+F10 again, and now there is a /dev/video0, and
    cheese works to take a picture.

    I see that the Fn+F10 key toggles the existence of /dev/video0. I like that, but it
    does cause confusion in figuring out how to get {cheese, skype} to work.

    I've been having similar problems on my Lemu4. The function key toggles the existence of /dev/video0 but nothing is displayed in cheese or skype.
