After a resent update to Ubuntu 14.10, I can not use my external webcam with any of the programs for webcams. It only sees my laptop built-in webcam now. It use to give me a choose which cam I want to use. How can I get it to recognize the external webcam? Why can't I choose which webcam to use with Cheese now?

Does chrome recognise it? Go to webcamtoy.com or something?– TimDec 7, 2014 at 19:52

webcamtoy shows the option with the USB camera but it doesn't show any picture, it is just black. It use to show a picture of what ever it was pointed at.– casawyerDec 7, 2014 at 20:46

Works just fine with Chrome, shows a good picture with it.– casawyerDec 7, 2014 at 20:53

This could be a bug in Cheese. Take note of the last version of Cheese which worked if you can, and consider filing a bug against it in Launchpad.
