I noticed that my webcam wasn't working and I thought maybe it had some driver missing.
(base) bob@bob:~
$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c45:6363 Microdia USB 2.0 Camera
so I created a probe using linux-hardware.org app image and it found that I had this hardware component that wasn't working.
https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:0c45-6363 and it also has this in the website
Now, I searched for this exact keyword and found this driver lying around a little known guy's repository called linux.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_driver.c
Now, I don't know how to install it. So, how do I install this?
Now try
sudo v4l2-ctl --list-devicesInstall the package it's in if missing.
hey, I slept off. it was midnight in India
I installed
v4l2-utilsand did this, still no luck with the webcamedit:
The
virtual camera driverthing still shows nothing, but web cam is now working for discord. I thank you wholeheartedly! You made my day (this is morning now and this was the first thing I tried and it worked, it did make my day), thank you mate!!!! But do tell me the reasoning behind what you did!It was troubleshooting, but it looks like the package I had you install was what was missing. The first thing in your screenshot references it so there must be something in there you needed.
I would guess the 'virtual camera' has something to do with the unchecked 'advanced effects mode '
Glad to be of help. 😁
