Webcam working erratically.

That's a solution but wait a bit more if someone else come up with an idea.

If you have less than 3GB RAM you can install 32 bit and Linux Lite will recognize the whole amount of memory.

Yes, I have 2 GB.

Yes, I have 2 GB.

Go ahead and install the 32bit version.

Code:

harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$ inxi -S
System:    Host: harry-Latitude-XT2 Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic i686 (32 bit)
           Desktop: Xfce 4.11.6 Distro: Ubuntu 14.04 trusty
harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       5125336    1693936    3431400      77192      82032    1027908
-/+ buffers/cache:     583996    4541340
Swap:            0          0          0

As you can see. The stock kernel sees all 5 gig of my ram on this Dell XT2. I have no internal webcam that came with this
tablet/netbook though.

Recommend installing LL 32bit, as you had zero problems before.

[Madhuvan Rishiraj]

Hello, thank you everybody. I will do that after taking backup.

[Madhuvan Rishiraj]

Hello, I wiped the 64 bit and reinstalled 32 bit. Now I have the same problem with 32 bit.

[Madhuvan Rishiraj]

hello, after having installed the 32 bit my problem continues. Strange because when I had 32 bit previously, all was OK.

Hi Madhuvan Rishiraj,

Just want to confirm that you installed all updates after the new 32 bit installation?

Menu > All > Install Updates


And there are no additional drivers to install?

Menu > All > Install Drivers

Is it possible that your webcam hardware is breaking down?
Loose connection or something?

[Madhuvan Rishiraj]

Hello, I tried both, the updates and drivers, but to no avail. I would have believed that it was a hardware problem, but the webcam takes the videos perfectly. It works very well on video chats on Skype and Google hangouts. Can it still be a webcam hardware problem?
