@Rick-

The uvc_video driver contains a machine/model-specific quirk for a similar OmniVision webcam in a different Dell machine ("UVC_QUIRK_PROBE_DEF" in uvc_driver.c). Since you're getting "UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported", I suspect that the same quirk might be appropriate for the OmniVision cam in your machine also. Admittedly, that wouldn't by itself explain why your camera works in 12.10, but especially since the failure in Raring is not consistent, this is a logical thing to try.

So, here's a Raring kernel with the UVC_QUIRK_PROBE_DEF enabled for your machine model -- please install these two .deb's with "sudo dpkg -i *.deb":

Any change in behavior?
