I have a Dell Latitude 7640. I am running on this Laptop Ubuntu 23.04 and Windows 11. So the problem is, that Windows does find my integrated camera, but when I open cheese in Ubuntu, then it does say "No device found". I also tried to find my camera in terminal with couple of commands but nothing seems to recognize a webcam. What can I do?

Edit: I can not see any camera devices, when I run sudo journalctl -b 0

After typing this command sudo lshw -C video I get this output:

With this command ls -l /dev/vid*;id I get:

The command and its result:

ls -l /dev/vid*;id
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Mai 30 10:07 /dev/video0
uid=1000(nathan) gid=1000(nathan) Gruppen=1000(nathan),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),100(users),118(lpadmin)

show us that:

  1. You're producing non-English outputs. Since AskUbuntu is an English language site, you should preface your commands with LANG=C command to generate messages in English.
  2. /dev/video0 is owned by [root,video].
  3. /dev/video0's permissions (rw-rw----) say it can be read/written by its owner (root) and by members of the video group, and NOT by "other".
  4. The id command shows that you're not in the video group, so you're "other".

To fix, join the video group:

sudo adduser $USER video

Then logout/login, because groups are set up by login.

I have the same device & system and I am facing the same problem.

sudo lshw -C video

produces

  *-display

And

ls -l /dev/vid*;id

returns

ls: cannot access '/dev/vid*': No such file or directory
uid=1000(user) gid=1000(user) groups=1000(user),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),122(lpadmin),135(lxd),136(sambashare)

When plugging in an external webcam and asking lsusb I get
