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. :-)
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.
