Lenovo IdeaPad S205 Camera is not detected. Worked flawlessly in 12.04 LTS

[Andrew]

Hello.

I've Installed Mint 17 Quiana Mate 32-bit (kernel 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP) on my Lenovo IdeaPad S205 along with Lubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit on other partition. Th integrated webcam is not being detected by Mint17, but works great with Lubuntu 12.04 LTS. I haven't find bug-reporting script like "ubuntubug" to provide detailed hardware report. But I've noticed that the camera is not present in "lsusb" output with Mint 17, but it is listed with Lubuntu 12.04 LTS. Even more - after boot into Lubuntu 12.04 then warm restart and boot into Mint the camera is detected by Mint and it is working till shutdown. The camera is not being detected by Mint 17 always in "cold boot" case.

BTW the camera has no "switch on/off" keys.

This is the "lsusb" output under Lubuntu 12.04 LTS:
