I cant run ubuntu-bug linux on the machine itself because of the bug 538097 so I will attach a file with useful information.

I've found out why the camera won't work. There's a button that enables it: Fn+F6. The problem is that it's disabled by default, and it's not working at the first boot after installation, like the other Fn keys. After making sure that all other Fn keys work, I rebooted the computer one more time and the Fn+F6 powered up the camera. I've tested the camera with Cheese and it worked as it should.
