I have been struggling to start my webcam as i need to clear an interview with a video conferencing. I updated the OS from 18.04 to 20.04 but still I get the message No device found when I try to open cheese. Below is the output of the command lsusb

nik@nik:/$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Below are some commands executed

   nik@nik:/$ sudo modprobe uvcvideo
   nik@nik:/$ 

   niket@nik:/$ sudo modprobe vfe_v4l2
   modprobe: FATAL: Module vfe_v4l2 not found in directory 
    /lib/modules/5.4.0-81-generic
   niket@nik:/$ sudo modprobe gc2035
    modprobe: FATAL: Module gc2035 not found in directory / 
     lib/modules/5.4.0-81-generic

Can someone clarify me if webcam drivers are not there or how do I need to resolve this problem. I have looked into lot of online docs and applied them but still cannot resolve this issue.

It would be nice to know the camera and model if you're plugging in a USB webcam, or if it's a built-in webcam. That would help, too.

I'd recommend looking for the text _uvcvideo_ in the output of dmesg, especially lines before and after it to get clues as to whether it was recognized, what devices it may have connected (or tried connecting) to and comparing that with the Preference / Webcam tab inside *cheese*

dmseg returns nothing, niket@nik:~$ dmesg | grep -i "uvcvideo"

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
