While plug a camera to EndeavourOS we cannot see the device

well - while plug a camera to EndeavourOS we cannot see the device … on the “explorer”

well after some research i fonund that the following steps can help here:

cam setup:
To use a USB camera on EndeavourOS, simply plug it into a USB port, as most modern webcams are plug-and-play and will work with the built-in uvcvideo kernel driver. To verify it’s working, open a terminal and run

to see messages after plugging in, or use


journalctl -f

and see the following


v4l2-ctl --list-devices 

@tp14 ~]$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices 
Integrated RGB Camera: Integrat (usb-0000:04:00.3-3):
        /dev/video0
        /dev/video1
        /dev/video2
        /dev/video3
        /dev/media0
        /dev/media1
[heike@tp14 ~]$ ^C

well - how to go ahead - how to get the connection - so that it works

you need actually start a terminal before you plug the cam and check what journal shows while plugging in the device.
