My webcam image is distorted
I'm using ubuntu 18.10, and my laptop's (ThinkPad 25) built-in webcam image is distorted and pink. I tried in google hangouts and in cheese, and they both show the same kind of image.
Screenshot of cheese showing webcam image, which is distorted and pink.
Cheese doesn't show any errors on command line, just says this:
(cheese:5930): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:00:44.808: Theme parsing error: cheese.css:7:35: The style property GtkScrollbar:min-slider-length is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version
which I imagine is not relevant(?).
I found this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam/Troubleshooting but it is very old and talks about Skype, and starting Skype with different options, but I can't use Skype, I need Google Hangouts to work.
I believe this may be what my webcam is:
product: Integrated Camera [4F2:B5AB]
vendor: SunplusIT Inc [4F2]
bus info: usb@1:8
version: 0.10
capabilities:
USB 2.0
configuration:
driver: uvcvideo
maxpower: 500mA
speed: 480Mbit/s
Any ideas what to do? Thanks!
