For anyone interested I've posted the question on the Ubuntu forums as well.

I tried to get webcams to work on Ubuntu Server by installing all relevant packages, tried both desktop and server kernels, made sure all modules were loaded, etc. Though with no success. Sandeep is working on it as well as we don't really want to deploy a bunch of capture agents using the desktop version of Ubuntu (shorter support lifespan, uses more resources, takes longer to install and update). This will be an issue for anyone else wanting to use a webcam with the Ubuntu capture agent in future versions of Matterhorn (which seems like quite a few wanting to use webcams and UVC cameras). So whether we discover the solution later or if someone else already has, it would make a good addition to the Wiki. I'll be sure to ask the Ubuntu community but wanted to check here in case someone else has already run into the same issue because the likelihood is high.

Thanks, > Sandeep Tamrakar Hi Sandeep, I think the ubuntu forums would be better off to help with this, unless someone here is using a similar camera on ubuntu...
