Upside Down Web Cam Simple Fix

Many laptop put their webcam upside down resulting in flipped images in Ubuntu. There were fixes for some but for some you had to physically remount the camera. The webcam that comes with Lenovo Ideapad Y510 is also mounted upside down. Unluckily there wasn't any simple fix for this. (some people rotated the camera physically). Fortunately Hans de Goede  came with a beautiful solution . Open Terminal and add libv4l ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libv4l/ppa Update your software list sudo aptitude update Install libv4l sudo aptitude install libv4l-0 You have to use the following command to open any application that uses webcam LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so application_name If you use 64 bit system, use the following command LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so application_name

If you don't want to go through this hassles, you can always open multiple browsers. For case in point you are browsing facebook.com and your sister wants to open the same site for quick check, you can either open different browser or open the same browser that has different profile. (or open in private mode too) Both my favorite browsers Chrome and Firefox supports multiple profile. For now I'll write instructions for Chrome: Right click your panel, select add to panel and select custom application launcher (if you want to add in panel) or Right click the menu , se
