Laptop camera issue

Sharkscott · 11-12-2019, 02:47 PM

Hello all,

I have a Lenovo Laptop with a built in camera that apparently Linux Mint 19.2 doesn't recognize. Is there a program I need to download or driver I don't know of that I need in order to get it to work?

The laptop is a Lenovo Idea Pad S340-15IWL, Model Name-81N8 with 4G of RAM, a 926gig SSD and a Intel Core i3-8145U 2.30GHz chip.

I am not new to Linux but I am self taught on computers in general so there are gaps in my knowledge. Any help is welcome, thank you in advance. :-)

Scott R.

Dupe Ubuntu posts in a slackware forum. Bless your heart. Ya know. One of the mods will have to delete one.

Make up your mind?

Sorry about that.

OK. I know Ubuntu comes with inxi and we got the thread thing sorted so

Code:

inxi -v8

and

Code:

lsusb -v

would be a good place to start here. Use the hash mark in toolbar< advanced reply > to put terminal readouts in code tags like I did when posting my reply. Good luck.
