Exception occurred when trying to parse web cam profile file in Ubuntu

I am using Unity in Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and I am getting error. I have tried Vuforia 9.8.11 and lower versions. 

 

Exception occurred when trying to parse web cam profile file: Could not parse webcam profile: <windows><!-- size of the web cam texture requested from Unity --><requestedTextureWidth>640</requestedTextureWidth><requestedTextureHeight>480</requestedTextureHeight><!-- size of the texture Unity's web cam texture will be rescaled to --><resampledTextureWidth>640</resampledTextureWidth></windows><osx><!-- size of the web cam texture requested from Unity --><requestedTextureWidth>640</requestedTextureWidth><requestedTextureHeight>480</requestedTextureHeight><!-- size of the texture Unity's web cam texture will be rescaled to --><resampledTextureWidth>640</resampledTextureWidth></osx> UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object) Vuforia.EditorClasses.UnityPlayModeEditorUtility:LoadAndParseWebcamProfiles () Vuforia.WebCamProfile:.ctor () Vuforia.EditorClasses.WebCamEditor:DrawInspectorGUI () Vuforia.EditorClasses.VuforiaConfigurationEditor:OnInspectorGUI () UnityEditor.EditorUtility:DisplayDialog (string,string,string) Vuforia.EditorClasses.UnityPlayModeEditorUtility:LoadAndParseWebcamProfiles () Vuforia.WebCamProfile:.ctor () Vuforia.EditorClasses.WebCamEditor:DrawInspectorGUI () Vuforia.EditorClasses.VuforiaConfigurationEditor:OnInspectorGUI () UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr) (at /home/bokken/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:197)

Hey there,

 

Vuforia Engine isn't commercially supported when using Unity with Linux, therefor I cannot provide any technical support.

I assume that Vuforia is trying to retrieve the webcam feed but because you're not using Mac or Windows, it fails to find it.
