Webcam does not work, though it works on Windows
by Knut07 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RHVG)
Hi :)
My webcam is not working. On Windows 10 it works fine, no problems. lsusb shows no webcam. Cheese says there is an error. Guvcview also runs without luck.
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I am new to Ubuntu so my webcam has never worked, as far as I know.
This is a laptop, model ThinkPad X1 Tablet G2. It is an integrated webcam.
Below are some outputs of various commands (I have asked for help elsewhere, but nobody has been able to fix my problem):
