I'm new to Linux, but fear not, I am posting here after having tried all the relevant solutions available and also asking a friend who is proficient in Linux to have a look. My problem still persists. Would be grateful if someone could help me out here.

Small Backstory: I purchased a second hand Lenovo Z370 that was successfully running Ubuntu 12.10. I did a fresh installation where I erased and installed 18.04. My integrated webcam is not working.

Cheese tells me No Device Found

dmesg | grep uvc gives nothing.

Checked dmesg | grep uvc after running sudo modprobe uvcvideo and it yields
[ 2901.557462] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo

Cheese still doesn't work.

EDIT2: The webcam mysteriously started working. I'm guessing the software updates in the previous months have made it possible. I first noticed this when running zoom. The webcam worked and then stopped working after 5 seconds or so. So I opened cheese and the webcam worked for maybe half a minute (with poor quality) but then stopped working.

Try lsusb and look for "Lenovo Integrated Camera" or some such thing. Also, post the output of dmesg | grep uvc. If that gives nothing, try: sudo modprobe uvcvideo and try the dmesg | grep uvc command again.

Hm. That's odd. Is it possible that the integrated camera is turned off in bios? I don't have direct experience with the Z370 but I have used many Lenovos and nearly all of them have internal usb cameras driven by uvcvideo. Your post suggests that 12.10 drove the webcam. You might try to boot a live usb for 12.10 or for some older releases (old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases) to see if the webcam works on those. If so, use dmesg to figure out what driver is being used.

But did it used to work with any Ubuntu? If not, perhaps the cam is not uvc compliant. You could try v4l drivers using the command mplayer -cache 128 -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480 -vo xv tv://. You may need sudo install mplayer, if you don't have that package already.

Oddly enough I had the same problem with the Playstation eyetoy camera that should have run out of the box as it did on previous installations of Ubuntu 18.10. This could possibly work for you as it did for me. I typed lsusb in terminal and it did not recognize my camera. Cheese and other programs did not recognize it either. I had to go online to a chatting site for the dialogue to come up on if I wanted to initialize my camera. After agreeing to use my camera on Firefox suddenly it was accessible to every previous attempt that it did not work for. Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks for your reply. I tried this but I get a message in lots of websites saying a webcam/camera is not connected or the camera is disconnected. I never get a dialogue box popping up.

For the sake of possibly saving someone else who wasted time like me, some laptops have a keyboard button to turn on the webcam, like my Clevo P150EM, Fn + F10

I also had to restart Cheese to check it worked

Thanks for your reply. I tried this but I get a message in lots of websites saying a webcam/camera is not connected or the camera is disconnected. I never get a dialogue box popping up.

For the sake of possibly saving someone else who wasted time like me, some laptops have a keyboard button to turn on the webcam, like my Clevo P150EM, Fn + F10

I also had to restart Cheese to check it worked
