and there is again this?
uvcvideo: Failed to resubmit video URB (-19)

can you try unloading uvcvideo and loading it again?

sudo rmmod uvcvideo 
sudo modprobe -v uvcvideo 

if this does not help - try some live USB distro and check if it works. It
could be anywhere from the hardware/bios through firmware, kernel and udev
