Today, I installed the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit. And I open the cheese webcam booth, the webcam works fine. I want to change the user photo in profile, webcam not works. I also try "browse for more picture" and select a photo. But its hangs...

Note: Dafault image selection works fine

I got the same problem. User Accounts doesn't seem to detect webcam.

Use Cheese, take a photo of yourself, save it as a file and then add it to your account.

If that doesn't work change your user account photo without using Gnome Control Center ( as seen here) by running in terminal:

sudo gedit /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<replace_with_your_name>

and change the Icon setting under User with the path to a 96 by 96 pixel jpg file. Then Log out and in. Your name lowercase as the user folder in /home (tamil in your case)
