I've got a bug similar to this one here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872634
There's a detailed description here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1241552/making-hercules-classic-link-web-camera-work-with-ubuntu-19-10
The strange thing is, it does not work in 19.10 and live-usb 20.04, but it does work in 14.04 and 16.04. The last one I tried from Virtualbox by adding a USB device in the settings - and it works just fine. When I do `lsmod | grep gspca` in 16.04, I get the following output:
gspca_pac7302 20480 0
gspca_main 36864 1 gspca_pac7302
v4l2_common 16384 2 gspca_main
videodev 188416 3 gspca_main, gspca_pac7302, v4l2_common
Whereas on my machine with 19.10 it's like this:
gspca_pac7302 20480 0
gspca_main 24576 1 gspca_pac7302
videobuf2_vmalloc 20480 1 gspca_main
videobuf2_v4l2 24576 1 gspca_main
videobuf2_common 53248 2 gspca_main,videobuf2_v4l2
videodev 208896 5 gspca_main,gspca_pac7302,v4l2_common,videobuf2_v4l2,videobuf2_common
I already tried modprobe -r for all videobuf2_* and gspca_* modules and adding v4l2, but it just restored the previous module config.
Could you please advice how could I solve this? I'm not sure which way to follow from here.
