Hi,

I've used Ubuntu on the same Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872 for the last 4 years and my built in camera has always worked. A couple of days ago I noticed that the camera was not being recognized anymore. Cheese says "No device found". The weird thing is that sometimes after I boot the camera will work.

There is no mention to the camera in lsusb.

Code:
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 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 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Also, there are no /dev/video* files.

Code:
ls /dev/v*
/dev/vcs   /dev/vcs2  /dev/vcs4  /dev/vcs6  /dev/vcsa   /dev/vcsa2  /dev/vcsa4  /dev/vcsa6  /dev/vga_arbiter
/dev/vcs1  /dev/vcs3  /dev/vcs5  /dev/vcs7  /dev/vcsa1  /dev/vcsa3  /dev/vcsa5  /dev/vcsa7
I've looked through the forum and there seems to be a few other people complaining about this. Does anyone one know if there is a solution or if this is a generalized problem?

Any help is appreciated.
