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...

modprobe rtsx_usb modprobe usbhid then i tried with sudo too:
sudo modprobe rtsx_usb sudo modprobe usbhid Nothing happened!
