Some parameters around the bug may have changed, but the main issue is the same, same webcam, same garbled green output with some strips of correct video, e.g. the very top. I actually do have a /dev/video0 though. Initially I just get a black screen as output that seems non-functional (e.g. cheese fails to get a black screen photo, but I manage to get the green if I preload compat and cheese will take captures of the garbled output:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so cheese

I am attaching a screenshot. The green can vary quite a bit, sometimes more pink, etc... Not entirely random, but clearly garbled.

This is now in 18.04 with the Mate desktop environment.
