    My webcam isn't working after lubuntu 13.04 installation

    Hello everybody. I recently installed lubuntu 13.04 and one of the problems I have is that my webcam isn't working, nether in cheese nor in guvcview or skype.I tried the same webcam with another p.c. while runing lubuntu 13.04 via live-cd and when runing guvcview the webcam is showing image. I have no experience with ubuntu and linux in general but opened the terminal and typed some commands I found while serfing the web. I would appreciate any help anyone could give me.

    I would like to add that I have an on-board usb card. I am writing this because my first problem after installing lubuntu 13.04 was that I could not reach the web. This problem was solved by adding a pci ethernet card and using it instead of the on-board ethernet card my machine has.
