  • 772

My Microsoft LifeCam VX3000 no longer works on 18.04 using Cheese. Worked before with 16.40 Microphone is fine but no video. No image on Skype either. I can see the camera on "lsusb". VLC error: "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2:///dev/video0' log: v4l2 error: cannot set format: Device or resource busy v4l2 error: not a radio tuner device v4l2 error: cannot set format: Device or resource busy But works fine on Camorama. Any ideas please?
