Dear Neil,

My new laptop has a built in webcam. However, when I run cheese I do
not get any picture. This suggests to me that the camera is not
switched on. So can anyone tell me where to go from here please. I
have already searched, to no avail.

Running MX Linux which is based on Debian.

I've got a few ideas that might lead to an answer :)

Further to my previous reply ....

simpler than I thought. When I looked more carefully at the camera lens at the top of the screen I noticed a little slider button. Moving that turned on the camera.

Now I must check if that also turns on the built in speaker,

Neil
