Camera Not Working

[pekote]

I'm trying to setup octoprint in ubuntu, this script works excellent but the webcam does not start, I tried different cameras with no luck. My camera is a generic Hercules and works fine with Cheese. I tried to setup octoprint several times from fresh ubuntu installations with mjpg streamer or ustreamer

This is my latest attempt with mjpg streamer->

Try restarting the camera service: sudo systemctl restart cam_PrusaCesimar
