Ubuntu – Integrated webcam not detected after update to 14.04

updateswebcam

Yesterday I updated my Thinkpad T530 from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 (both x64). Since then the integrated webcam is not working anymore. I tried to use it with Skype and Google Hangouts, but it says that no video device is found. I found some solutions but they did not work.
First thing I did was to check if the integrated webcam is activated in bios settings. Then I found this "How can I get my webcam to work with Ubuntu 14.04?" but I don't have any /dev/video* device.

Can anybody tell me what to do? Thanks.

I know that a long time passed since you posted.

with lspci get:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)

The solution was to activate the webcam with the keys: fn + CAM in my case f10.

I hope this helps. Regards.
