Is the uvcvideo module loaded ?
Give the results of
lsmod | grep -i uvc
If uvcvideo is not listed in the results, then you can manually load the module with the command below
sudo modprobe uvcvideo
Then retry to use the camera. If it works, you can add this module in /etc/modules , to be loaded in every startup. (make it permanent)
echo uvcvideo | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
