[Temporarily] lost webcam access

Hi guys!

Until the latest kernel update this morning my webcam worked like a charm. And it's still recognized by the system:

$ dmesg|tail
...
[32069.335668] usb 1-4: Product: HD Pro Webcam C920
...

However, it's not registered yet, probably because the module is missing now:

~# modprobe uvcvideo
modprobe: FATAL: Module uvcvideo not found in directory /lib/modules/[b]5.0.5-arch1-1-ARCH[/b]
~# pacman -Qi linux

So, shall I just wait for some more updates, or is there something else I can do?

Did you reboot after the kernel update?

... and now, whatever happened, it's been working again since a couple of days ...
