Public bug reported: To reproduce on an hp pavillion dv1230 us in the utopic daily from 10-16 boot into a live session from usb and open guvcview Then the picture from the webcam will show a black screen. I switched to the video tab and it still showed the black screen.
guvcview: Installed: 1.7.3-1.1build2 Candidate: 1.7.3-1.1build2 Version table: *** 1.7.3-1.1build2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Description: Ubuntu 14.10 Release: 14.10 I was expecting the guvcview to work and show a working image. Instead I had to change the video and now it works and takes picture and video fine just it selects the wrong camera output by default.
