I have Ubuntu 20.04 on HP Elitebook 840 G4. For a few months, the camera is showing "No device found" when I open Cheese. Previously it was working fine. I can not even access the camera with any web application. I'm not sure if it is a hardware or software related problem. What could be the issue?
