Public bug reported:
Since cosmic kernel (4.18) and above, I am aware that there will be two
/dev/videoX even there is only one device physically. This issue could
be found in many hardware platforms[1]
[Steps to Reproduce]
1. Install Ubuntu desktop image (cosmic or above) on one of the platforms[1]
2. Check /dev/video*
[Expected Result]
There is only /dev/video0 because there is only one video device (the
default webcam).
[Actual Result]
Both of /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 are shown.
[1] The platforms have this issue:
Dell Vostro 5568
Dell OptiPlex 3011 All In One
Dell Computer Corporation XPS 15 9550
Dell Latitude E5570
Dell Vostro 3459
Dell Vostro 3559
Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 62z All In One
