scroll down to the last post and :

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!

That is the last post in the thread so the op either solved it or gave up Smile
