This is already obvious to anyone reading this report. >"I am a normal user who just would like to help going forward with an annoying issue with Ubuntu." If you want to help, you would want to follow the directions previously advised to you in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1325412/comments/13 . >"The original issue is still on Ubuntu 3.13.0-27.50-generic 3.13.11 and upstream kernel (2 versions ahead) proved that, somewhere in the code there is something blocking normal use of the Orbicam." See above. >"Does it really make sense to open so many reports in different places?" As the vast majority of upstream developers aren't looking at this report, but the appropriate upstream mailinglist, e-mailing them would only increase the likelihood of your bug being addressed as soon as possible. Would that make sense? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325412 Title: 046d:0896 [Acer Aspire 5630] Orbicam not working on Ubuntu 14.04 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Webcam Logitech Orbicam (046d:0826) does not work on a newly installed lubuntu 14.04.
