  1. Hello! Thanks for sharing! However, I have some problems with opening the video device in VLC: main input error: open of `v412:///dev/video0' failed. I checked the file and it exists, I there are permissions sets, but still not opening it. Any idea why that could be?

  2. Did not work for me 🙁 Got an error Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
