I am pretty new to Linux and would like to seek help from experts. My issue is that when ever I start my camera software/ Skype I either get a black screen or just that the webcam is not detected.
I tried following the forums and community in Ubuntu but reached to no solution in my case.
I have tried doing a unity --reset and found warning and error messages regarding the video
WARN 2012-10-15 11:39:28 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:283 Calling method "InfoRequest" on object path: "/net/launchpad/lens/video" failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface `com.canonical.Unity.Lens' on object at path /net/launchpad/lens/video

Please could some one guide me through. My laptop is Acer Aspire 5710G and it uses Acer crystal eye webcam.
Best
