@4:
This one:
[ 5798.225088] usb 6-1: Product: PC Camera
[ 5798.225092] usb 6-1: Manufacturer: Vimicro Corp.
is a web cam that I had lying around. I attached it. It was detected by the system, but only displayed a black box, thought I suspect this is due to the camera, not Ubuntu
This is the one that I had always used and the one I care about:
[ 3.690652] usb 2-2.1: Product: Monitor Webcam
[ 3.690657] usb 2-2.1: Manufacturer: OmniVision Technologies, Inc.538-
Note that the failure is system wide. If I reboot, the camera sometimes becomes available in gstream-properties, after which it is available system wide.
