Public bug reported: The 046d:08da Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messanger webcam that was being detected fine in Ubuntu 17.10 is not being detected in bionic by applications. It is detected fine by the system, but Cheese for instance reports "No device detected", and I've tried with other applications and none of them is capable of detecting the webcam.
This is what is shown when the webcam is plugged in: [ 1266.823479] usb 3-13: new full-speed USB device number 11 using xhci_hcd [ 1266.972299] usb 3-13: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=08da [ 1266.972303] usb 3-13: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 [ 1266.972681] gspca_main: gspca_zc3xx-2.14.0 probing 046d:08da [ 1268.055730] input: gspca_zc3xx as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-13/input/input15 lsusb shows: Bus 003 Device 011: ID 046d:08da Logitech, Inc.
