I'm new to this forum, but I've been using Ubuntu since 2009 or so. I'm using 12.04 on an MSI Wind u100, and Cheese cannot detect the built-in webcam. Pressing Fn+F6 does not work. However, the problem is only with Cheese. Skype can detect the webcam after pressing Fn+F6, but Cheese cannot. I have looked on the forums for a similar problem, but none of them had a solution that worked for me. I've also read many times to type lsusb in the terminal, probably to check something, so I'll post what I got already: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0951:160e Kingston Technology Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:0158 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. USB 2.0 multicard reader Cheese worked perfectly when I was running 10.04; the webcam turns on everytime cheese is started. Any suggestions? If I missed anything, just ask me.
