    USB and Cameras not loading

    I have just hit a problem with using my built-in and USB cameras, and also my memory/USB sticks. First noticed when I had to attend a TEAMS call, and all I could get was the virtualcamera, and then I tried my USB storage device. Now I know they all work and the USB sockets are fine as they all work perfectly in the Windows OS.

    Everything is iup to date, and I have tried everything I can find on the various forums.

    HTML Code:

    The two cameras are listed. The BISON is the plug-in USB camera and the ARC is the built-in. Note that in the ABOVE output the Bison is missing. It was there, but disappeared.

    Re: USB and Cameras not loading

    Thank you. That hit the button. I didn't go through giving access as you showed, but instead just uninstalled Usbguard.

    I have now discovered that sone directory permissions have changed too. I tried to tidy up my desktop and update sone files and they won't save or move directory. I.e. from Desktop to a directory in Documents. Never ends! 😭😭

    Re: USB and Cameras not loading

    It sounds as if some files or folders in your home may no longer be owned by you which will cause many difficulties so run command
    ls -la
    to see if anything obvious shows in that list that is owned by root or some other user.

    Have you misused any sudo commands to run GUI applications which could in the past change ownership of files in the user's home.

    Re: USB and Cameras not loading

    Not that I am aware, but could possibly whilst trying all the suggestions from various threads... But unlikely.

    I'll give that CMD a bash over the weekend.

    THANK YOU!

    If you still have problems with permissions, a possible would be
    Before any changes mine looks like:
    Code:

    Always have good back-ups in place before make any system changes.

    For clarity:
    This -h -h, --no-dereference
    affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file (useful only on systems that can
    change the ownership of a symlink)


    and this -v, --verbose
    output a diagnostic for every file processed


    and of course -R, --recursive
    operate on files and directories recursively

    Re: USB and Cameras not loading

    Thought I had replied to this, this AM, seems not, but it was on my phone.

    Thank you 1fallen.
    I had a go yesterday. I could not affect the directory where the files and documents etc. are all stored. I keep everything on a separate partition which mounts to /media/Storage/ It says chmod failed for every line. It says wright protected. Tried changing it but that does not work. I've tried using terminal and via recovery. NOTHING works. This ONLY started after the update and the installation of USBGuard. SO no change there.

    I also did as you advised, below, and sadly since then I can not boot into my desktop. I get the log-in screen. Log in, BUT then the screen goes black and hangs there. Sometimes I get a curser top left, which sometimes flashes, sometimes not.

    Any advise, please ;-(

    Always have good back-ups in place before make any system changes.

    For clarity:
    This -h -h, --no-dereference
    affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file (useful only on systems that can
    change the ownership of a symlink)


    and this -v, --verbose
    output a diagnostic for every file processed


    and of course -R, --recursive
    operate on files and directories recursively

    That would not have anything to do with a broken-login
    I personally ran the command 3 times, once before suggesting "chown -hvR me /home/me" to You.
    And once more on another system and just now,
    Code:
    chown -hvR me /home/me >chown.txt
    chown: changing ownership of '/home/me/mcolors': Operation not permitted
    chown: changing ownership of '/home/me/plt': Operation not permitted
    chown: changing ownership of '/home/me/zpcachys': Operation not permitte

    That's only a third of the return seen on my end.

    EDIT:A third reboot and still good.

    Dang I feel bad, but lacking anything helpful to work from I'm clueless.

    At the login screen use {Ctrl+Alt+F3}
    Login as you would normally and when returned to the prompt use:
    Code:
    startx

    Re: USB and Cameras not loading

    For god's sake don't feel bad. Not your fault. It's just frustrating and you are working blind and I have little clue.

    I personally ran the command 3 times, once before suggesting "chown -hvR me /home/me" to You.
    And once more on another system and just now,
    Code:
    chown -hvR me /home/me >chown.txt
    chown: changing ownership of '/home/me/mcolors': Operation not permitted
    chown: changing ownership of '/home/me/plt': Operation not permitted
    chown: changing ownership of '/home/me/zpcachys': Operation not permitte
    And the rest is far to big for forums so a snippet with how the rest returned:

    That's only a third of the return seen on my end.

    EDIT:A third reboot and still good.

    Dang I feel bad, but lacking anything helpful to work from I'm clueless.
