1. Open a terminal.
2. If it's not already installed, install lsusb and run it, then post the results.
3. After plugging in the camera, run the command dmesg in the terminal. There should be information about the device there. Post the relevant information from dmesg.

It may be helpful to post information from v4lctl too.
