Ariel Schiera: aha! F9 (actually, the "camera key": F9 is actually Fn-F9) has now made my camera work again! It is not at all a hardware problem! I must have pressed that by accident -- I didn't even realise that there *was* a key to enable and disable the camera. It would be nice if Ubuntu could detect this, although from what Joseph Salisbury is saying the camera key removes the camera to such an extent that Ubuntu cannot tell that there even was one at all!
