I have a Lubuntu 13.10 installed on a HP Pavillon dv6000. I just bought a new webcam, Make is Growing, model is "Impala PC Camera". I want to use it with skype, but it is not detected at all. Nor it is in cheese. Any help would be appreciated.

The following command gave those results:

lsmod |grep uvcvideo 

uvcvideo               71309  0  
videobuf2_vmalloc      13048  1 uvcvideo   
videobuf2_core         39125  1 uvcvideo   
videodev              107508  2 uvcvideo,videobuf2_core

i am not sure weather it will work or not but may be you can try this script

1st of all your terminal should give you

$ ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0 

where video0 is your current webcam

then

sudo apt-get install fswebcam 

then

fswebcam --device /dev/video0 --input 0 --resolution 352x288 --save /var/www/public/webcam/webcam.jpg --skip 20 -v

or

fswebcam -r 640x480 -d /dev/video0 -v ./webcam.jpg

or simply use software center and install

Darktable Photo Workflow Software

Found one and not anywhere, inside Software Center. Darktable:
