[SOLVED]Integrated Webcam

I have an HP Pavillion laptop running Linux Mint 17.0 and Cheese is not recognizing the integrated webcam. Any suggestions?


Resolved issue by modifying my Update Manager to include Level 2 (Suggested Updates) and running sudo apt-get update in terminal then REBOOTING!

It's not a USB camera, it's integrated into the laptop itself.

In most cases the integrated camera is actually connected to the system via USB. Post the output of the lsusb command.

Nevermind, it appears the problem has been fixed.

Please mark the thread as solved via the thread tools pull down menu at the top.
