How to install webcam (camera) driver on Ubuntu 17.04? (No device found)
My laptop can't detect my webcam anymore, so I can't take pictures or see myself from the webcam.
I was using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and everything was OK..., until I decided to install 17.04. After installing 17.04, I was faced with this problem.
In 16.04, I didn't have to install a webcam driver or anything like that. The webcam worked fine.
In 17.04, when I try to access the webcam in Cheese, it just shows a black window that says:
No device found
See below:
So I decided to install the webcam driver.
I searched, but couldn't find any useful codes to install the driver...
My laptop: MSI GE62 6QD - C
I have no idea how to fix that...

The output says that both of the drivers are active.
I tried all these commands for activation:
modprobe rtsx_usb
modprobe usbhid
then i tried with sudo too:
sudo modprobe rtsx_usb
sudo modprobe usbhid
Nothing happened!

Solution 1:
Try to press [fn] + [F?] on your laptop keyboard
? in my case (Fujitsu Lifebook) is F12 (with camera icon)
