Can't find integrated camera in Ubuntu 22.04 on Lenovo

[Wayne Elfo]

Dual boot, Win 10 & Ubuntu 22.04.
Camera works on Win but not discoverable on Ubuntu 22.04
Never any image or video in cheese
F6 does not turn it on in Cheese.
Used synaptic, nothing broken.
Checked for driver, nothing available.

Boot from USB (ie install iso) Cheese does not work in "try Ubuntu" mode, ie cheese cannot find camera.

I have tried other programs that use the camera & none work.
Looks like a driver is missing to me but I can't find one to add.

I know the camera is there & working in Windows.
Something is missing for it to work in Ubuntu 22.04

1)Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
2)Cheese
3)expected camera to open
4)Message "there was an error playing video from the webcam"

Thanks Paul.
I am amazed that someone (you) has looked at & considered my problem.

I have tried “Kamoso” with a strange result.
It opens the camera, takes a shot of my face, then freezes. No video or picture or tabs function.
After trying every app that accesses the camera, this is the closest I could get.

Bug report was all I could think of to try.

I have uploaded the apport information as requested.

Extra Info.
I have just opened "SIGNAL" & tried the video link call.
It opens with a normal, if somewhat grainy, video.

This tells me Signal can find & use the camera.
So far this is the only programme that can find the camera.
