I use Toshiba Satellite A200, my chicony web camera does not work

If you run:

cheese

Do you see yourself?

What is the output of:

sudo dmidecode -t 1; lsusb; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

thanks for your response, cheese does not work either, as I start Skype,
the camera open, and the it immediately goes black screen. same when I try
to open cheese.

thanks

What is the output of:

sudo dmidecode -t 1; lsusb; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Thanks Andrew, I just tried copying 'sudo dmidecode -t 1; lsusb; lsb_release -a; uname -a' into the terminal and then installed cheese again, but I still get the same results

Thanks for your support will wait for a solution to the situation

Yes I want the output, meaning copy and paste the outputted text as an update on the forum. Running the command changes nothing and reinstalling cheese also does nothing.

Thanks Andrew once again for your assistance,

Well if I have understood correctly by what you meant by 'outputted tex as an update on the forum.

the following is what I get on the terminal

The program 'udo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:

Ok if you use the ID of the device in websearches you may find guides.

The ID of the device is:

Can you please tell me where am to start the websearch for this ID. Thanks

Google?

Too obvious?

Try testing it with an Ubuntu 14.04 live usb
