[opensuse-support] Webcam not found on latest Tumbleweed
Hello, with latest Tumbleweed, my webcam (built-in in my Tuxedo laptop) no longer works - both Chromium and Webcamoid say "no webcam found". About a month ago (2019-05-14), the webcam still worked. I didn't need it since then, therefore I can't give a smaller timeframe. Is this a known problem/regression, or do I need to dig for possible reasons?

I digged a bit, and according to the logs, the webcam was last found on May 19: May 19 15:19:36 tux kernel: usb 2-8: Product: BisonCam, NB Pro May 19 15:19:42 tux kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device BisonCam, NB Pro (5986:055c) May 19 15:19:42 tux kernel: input: BisonCam, NB Pro: BisonCam, NB as / devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-8/2-8:1.0/input/input30 After that, grepping for BisonCam doesn't show any results. The last zypper dup before these log entries was on 2019-05-18 23:44:02, and there was exactly one boot after that zypper dup that still found the webcam. The next zypper dup was many reboots (without traces of the webcam in the logs) later after oSC on 2019-05-26 23:34:54. There is another option - I replaced the laptop's keyboard some days before oSC. I'm not 100% sure, but IIRC I did that on 2019-05-18. The camera was last found 2019-05-19 so that should hopefully be unrelated ;-) If someone has hints or ideas what I can check or needs logs etc. to help with debugging, please tell me ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- those low-level tools [...] give you the most flexibility (and, of course, the most potential to shoot yourself in the foot - which you might do with a YaST equivalent of that, too).

What about greeping for 055c or uvc? Is uvcvideo module loaded (lsmod). Is the cam in the lsusb output? regards, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Both give the same timestamps: # xzgrep 055c messages-20190[56]* | tail n2 May 19 15:19:36 tux kernel: usb 2-8: New USB device found, idVendor=5986, idProduct=055c, bcdDevice= 6.05 May 19 15:19:42 tux kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device BisonCam, NB Pro (5986:055c) # xzgrep uvc messages-20190[56]* | tail -n2 May 19 15:19:42 tux kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device BisonCam, NB Pro (5986:055c) May 19 15:19:42 tux kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
Is uvcvideo module loaded (lsmod).
No, only "video" (which is used by i915 for video output).
Is the cam in the lsusb output?
Unfortunately not, even after a "modprobe uvcvideo". # lsusb Bus 003 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.

Probably a silly question, but it's not a hardware fault is it? You do have some software that the camera still works with?

I got the webcam working again, and the solution was way too simple ;-) There is a Fn+F10 hotkey on the keyboard. For some strange reason (I have no idea if pressed this hotkey a month ago, at least not intentionally), the camera was switched off via this hotkey - and pressing Fn+F10 brought the camera back :-) (You may laugh now.)
