soo i previously posted about this that my webcam isnt working.there is some progress the thing is that my webcam finally stared giving input on the gnome camera app after i downloaded it. it shows everything in the camera app but when i try to take a pic or record vid from webcam,it says it cant although its giving input.sidenote:my webcam also has a built in mic which also does not work
sidenote2:i dont ave a video card
ive tried many other camera apps and the result is same
Do you have very new, up-to-date hardware? If so, it might help you to use a newer kernel. You can install this with mainline.
The camera may still require permissions to be able to save images/recordings.
Can you please open a Terminal (Menu | Utilities | Terminal) and enter:
lsusb
and post back the results please

i have zorin updated
Is it better now? Can you take pictures or record videos with your cam now?
Your camera appears to work on some machines and not others with some being detected and others malfunctioning:
You have to be aware your machine was designed to work with that other OS. I recommend that you purchase a cheap usb powered webcam if you have enough ports spare. I've never had an issue with logitech cams or if you want a GNU/Linux dedicated camera:

I've trawled through the devices on that Linux hardware link I sent you and onky major brands are mentioned and even then mist only get detected which means the hardware isidentified but will not work. Sorry to say there is no way to resolve this issue.
