Dear Parag:

The device entry (/dev/video0) is missing and it is expected to
"dynamically" appear when a webcam is attached.

can you please attach the webcam that you have and wait for 5
sec ?

next,

ls -l  /dev/video0

if you get no such file or directory, please paste the 'dmesg'
command output at http://twincling.pastebin.com/ and post the
URL here.

Additionally, please post the output of the following commands
as well:

1. uname -r

2. lsusb

The info you provide will help in troubleshooting your scenario.


thanks
Saifi.
