Title: Linux Lite not finding webcam on MSI U100
Post by: CapnBeer on March 22, 2020, 04:52:18 PM

hi folks,

not able to get Linus Lite to recognize the webcam on my ancient 2006 MSI U100 laptop... tried the usual tricks like running Cheese and typing "sudo usermod -a -G video [username]" in Command Line... nothing works...

any advice appreciated... Linux Lite working very well on the old warhorse otherwise...

thanks much...
