[Bug 459586] Re: Karmic: OV2640 Webcam no longer works (Inspiron 1520)

[UbuntuFlo]

This bug ist still persistant in Lucid using a Dell Inspiron 1525
(bought from Dell with Ubuntu 7.10 installed in January 2008).

Some informations about the used system:
$ uname -r → 2.6.32-24-generic
$ lsusb       → Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. OV2640 Webcam

You can get your webcam working by entering these lines in the terminal after becoming root:
rmmod uvcvideo                       ## unload module
modprobe uvcvideo                  ## load module
After this command the webcam is working again.
