I think apport-collect has a problem. Here is the trace. I cannot send a valid apport-collect report because of this (see attachement)
** Attachment added: "apport-collect stdout/stderr" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1017692/+attachment/3205136/+files/apport-collect%201017692.log ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: This bug is reported against cheese as this is the procedure stated by http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/Webcam/Builtin but cheese is not the cause. The cause is Ubuntu doesn't detect Asus Eeepc 1215P internal webcam (screen top) since 12.04. It was working fine before (If I remember the first Ubuntu version on my Eeepc was 10.10 and it was OK). Cheese is reporting no device found. Gstreamer-properties isn't able to see video input ; when launching gstreamer-properties, the sysout shows : gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sunaudiosink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin
