Quote:It seems that Ubuntu recognizes the webcam and initiates its sound hardware correctly. The following commands might solve the problem with video hardware initialization.
1. Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
2. Enter the following command to stop linux webcam driver,
$ sudo rmmod uvcvideo
3. Enter the following command to restart the driver,
$ sudo modprobe uvcvideo
4. Now test your webcam with the Skype in Ubuntu. If it works fine, please let me know.
Good luck!
