cheese (or any camera app) not working

What's wrong:
cheese or any other camera app used to work well some months ago. But now none of them works. Even not in any distro.

Technical Details:

Stop

I have already tried solutions like setting up the image capture size to 640X480 etc but none of those solutions work either.
The fingerprint reader doesn't work too but I know that device is not supposed to work on linux cause there's no driver so that's not my problem for now.
Laptop is Thinkpad L14 Gen 1.

Re: cheese (or any camera app) not working

Is the device picked up by any driver?
Please post your complete system journal for the boot: 

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Assuming the device is there it's likely a permission problem

strace -f -o /tmp/cheese.strace cheese
cat /tmp/cheese.strace | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st # upload it to a pastebin service

Done everything that you have told me to check. Nothing works so far. Also, doung `cheese -d /dev/video0` or `cheese -d /dev/video1` makes the camera to go away from the `lsusb` output temporarily.

Re: cheese (or any camera app) not working

Please refrain from pointlessly bloating the thread with full quotes.

What's the actual output of "wpctl status" and what gets added to the journal when

`cheese -d /dev/video0` or `cheese -d /dev/video1` makes the camera to go away from the `lsusb` output temporarily

?

Re: cheese (or any camera app) not working

What does "go away from the `lsusb` output temporarily" exactly mean? How "temporarily" is "temporarily"?
There's no trace of your webcam in http://0x0.st/HdR6.txt at all (it's just full of openvpn failures)

Also get rid of xf86-video-intel:

Feb 14 13:03:29 Archpad plasmashell[2132]: libva error: /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed
sudo journactl -f

Then 

cheese -d /dev/video0

and post the tail that produces in the journal command above.

Also

/usr/sbin/cheese

are you running this as root???

Re: cheese (or any camera app) not working

::: Sorry english is not my first. By going away temporarily, i meant for example:
> I execute `lsusb` at 12:01. The webcam is visible along with other connected devices.
> At 12:02, I execute `cheese -d /dev/video0`. The camera fails to work as always.
> I execute `lsusb` again at 12:03. Bt this time the webcam is not in the `lsusb` output. As if there is not integrated camera in my laptop.
> I execute `cheese -d /dev/video0` again at 12:04. This time cheese says "No Device found."
> After waiting for a few minutes, let's say at 12:15, I execute `lsusb` again. But this time the integrated camera has returned back in the `lsusb` output.
> I run cheese again and that fails again.
> Loop continues.

::: Note that this has changed since the other day. Means, `lsusb` doesn't detect the camera anymore no matter when.

::: Got rid of xf86-video-intel like you told me to.

::: After running `sudo journalctl -f; cheese -d /dev/video0`:

sudo journalctl -b | tail | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

http://0x0.st/HnoF.txt
It's indeed full of openvpn failures.

::: And I only ran cheese as root when you mentioned that it might be permission issue. Other than that, I have always executed cheese without root.

Re: cheese (or any camera app) not working

You should disable the broken openvpn service so it doesn't spoil the journal.
Then then point of "sudo journalctl -f" is so you can see what happens there when you do something with the camera, the random tail you posted just covers 6 seconds and most of it is the openvpn service but we want to know what happens in response to your actions, whether that's 10 or 100 lines.

However, wrt

'lsusb' doesn't detect the camera anymore no matter when

Does it show up on a different SW stack like grml or knoppix? Can you toggle it in the UEFI?
