Bug Description

I have noticed that the integrated webcam on my Dell monitor SP2008WFP stopped working a few kernels ago (I don't know exactly which one).

It probably just needs a new quirk added to drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_driver.c for id 05a9:2641.

Let me know if you need any more info or testing.

Christopher Townsend, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (1.45). If you update to this, does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

I don't think a BIOS update to my laptop is necessary to see if a *monitor's* integrated webcam will function properly :-)

That said, it looks like Joseph is on this, so I'll wait on advice from him on the next steps.

Thanks!

I created a patch and built at test kernel with it, which can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1217957/

Can you test this kernel and see if it allows your webcam to work? If it does, I'll submit the patch upstream and to the Ubuntu kernel team for inclusion.

Note that you will need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Joseph,

Yes, the camera works like a charm now. I noticed this was for the 3.11.0 kernel for Saucy. Is there any chance this will get SRU'd for Raring?

Thanks!

Thanks for testing, Christopher.

I'll send this patch upstream and also request it for the stable kernels. I'll include a SRU request for Raring as well.

Thanks again!

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-raring-needed' to 'verification-raring-done'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
