For those who are waiting for patch, here is the step to temporarily load the module.
--- # Download kernel sources mkdir ~/debian/src -p cd ~/debian/src apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) cd linux-lts-xenial-4.4.0/ << it can be any kernel. wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/230434847/uvc.patch patch -p1 < uvc.patch cd drivers/media/usb/uvc/ make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules The above step will create a file named uvcvideo.ko in "drivers/media/usb/uvc/" directory. Simply copy and load the module to fix the cam issue. check your running kernel. $ uname -r 4.4.0-42-generic copy module sudo cp uvcvideo.ko /lib/modules/4.4.0-42-generic/kernel/drivers/media/usb/uvc/ -v unload old module and load new one: sudo rmmod uvcvideo; sudo modprobe uvcvideo Done. Check your cam now.
