My Microsoft LifeCam VX3000 no longer works on 18.04 using Cheese. Worked before with 16.40
Microphone is fine but no video.
No image on Skype either.
I can see the camera on "lsusb".
VLC error: "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2:///dev/video0'
log:
v4l2 error: cannot set format: Device or resource busy
v4l2 error: not a radio tuner device
v4l2 error: cannot set format: Device or resource busy
But works fine on Camorama.
Any ideas please?

          Works pefectly (better than on m$ ;-). All you need to do is to add user to group 'video'.
