cheese camera device not found

[Arwen]

seems unable to find camera or device needs to be enabled

The camera device has both a privacy switch, (aka enable / disable), and needs to be built into the kernel. So;

• Check the privacy switch to make sure it's enabled:
  Wiki - Pinebook Pro - Privacy Switches
  
• Next, you will need to tell us the OS you are using, it's release and what kernel its using.
  

With that information, we can help you further.

For those that don't know, Cheese is an Linux camera application.
