I'm new to Linux, but fear not, I am posting here after having tried all the relevant solutions available and also asking a friend who is proficient in Linux to have a look. My problem still persists. Would be grateful if someone could help me out here.



Small Backstory: I purchased a second hand Lenovo Z370 that was successfully running Ubuntu 12.10. I did a fresh installation where I erased and installed 18.04. My integrated webcam is not working.



  1. Cheese tells me No Device Found


  2. I have run sudo apt-get install libsbigudrv2 libsbigudrv0 and I get the following message

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree

    Reading state information... Done

    libsbigudrv2 is already the newest version (2.0.0-0ubuntu1).

  3. I have also run ls -ltrh /dev/video* and the result I get is


ls: cannot access '/dev/video*': No such file or directory



  1. I have also run sudo apt-get install cheese build-essential linux-headers-``uname -r ` and what I get is

build-essential is already the newest version (12.4ubuntu1).

  1. I also see a camera icon on my Esc key and I pressed Fn+Esc but I'm not able to detect if anything happened. One thing I can report is that /dev/video was still not available.


  2. Running lspci yields

Any other ideas ?!



Thanks in advance.



EDIT1: Ran a few more commands based on input from Martin.



  1. lsusb gives

  2. dmesg | grep uvc gives nothing.


  3. Checked dmesg | grep uvc after running sudo modprobe uvcvideo and it yields

    [ 2901.557462] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo


  4. Cheese still doesn't work.

    Try lsusb and look for "Lenovo Integrated Camera" or some such thing. Also, post the output of dmesg | grep uvc. If that gives nothing, try: sudo modprobe uvcvideo and try the dmesg | grep uvc command again.

  • Hm. That's odd. Is it possible that the integrated camera is turned off in bios? I don't have direct experience with the Z370 but I have used many Lenovos and nearly all of them have internal usb cameras driven by uvcvideo. Your post suggests that 12.10 drove the webcam. You might try to boot a live usb for 12.10 or for some older releases (old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases) to see if the webcam works on those. If so, use dmesg to figure out what driver is being used.

    Try lsusb and look for "Lenovo Integrated Camera" or some such thing. Also, post the output of dmesg | grep uvc. If that gives nothing, try: sudo modprobe uvcvideo and try the dmesg | grep uvc command again.

  • Hm. That's odd. Is it possible that the integrated camera is turned off in bios? I don't have direct experience with the Z370 but I have used many Lenovos and nearly all of them have internal usb cameras driven by uvcvideo. Your post suggests that 12.10 drove the webcam. You might try to boot a live usb for 12.10 or for some older releases (old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases) to see if the webcam works on those. If so, use dmesg to figure out what driver is being used.
