I installed Linux as a complete replacement for my computer use today (or yesterday depending of your timezone
). I have Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon x64 on my little Lenovo Ideapad Z500 laptop and everything worked out of the box after disabling the secureboot-thing for Windows 8 in the bios (god I hate Microsoft).The only thing that didn't work (that I'm aware of) if the webcam,
I ran lsusb, here's what I got:

Cheese doesn't work (obviously).
Can I do something to make my built-in camera work? (Please don't tell me I need to buy one :S)
(also, where can I report bugs?)
Your help is appreciated, thank you very much,
