I cannot use my (good) Logitech 922 USB Webcam

Hi @Wikinaut,
I created a standalone debian-10 teleconferencing VM and I took an old webcam from the bottom of my drawer. Then I checked the procedure.

The result:

  1. So dom0 is never used in this procedure.

  2. sys-usb detects the webcam (dmesg -Tw), which is listed by lsusb but without driver (lsusb -t). Note that lsusb display the full name of the webcam (“Hercules Dualpix infinite”).

  3. in the tray bar/Panel, I click on the USB icon, choose the webcam device and attach it to the teleconferencing VM.

  4. teleconferencing VM detects the webcam (dmesg -Tw), which is listed by lsusb with a driver (lsusb -t, Driver=uvcvideo). Note that lsusb display the short name of the webcam (without “Hercules Dualpix infinite”).

  5. I launch the “cheese” software and it displays the webcam video

Could you try this procedure, maybe you miss the step 2, and it isn’t a driver problem…
