Dell Precision 5480 Ubuntu 24.04 Webcam not working
Hi all,
this is a well known problem for all Dell PC mounting a specific Intel webcam -- the webcam is not recognised by the system and hence does not work. At all. In no softwaere etc; and of cours,e the kernel does not "see" it.
There are different solutions floating around, that turn around this one:
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000203830/webcam-is-not-detected-on-xps-13-plus-9320-laptops-running-ubuntu-22-04
and this one:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6sudo apt install linux-modules-ipu6-generic-hwe-22.04 linux-modules-ivsc-generic-hwe-22.04sudo apt install libcamhal-ipu6ep0sudo reboot Now, the problem is that the second one (that used to do the trick on my old 5470) is not working on my 5480; and that the first one depends on a repository that has not yet be ported to Noble (24.04)
The result is that while the camera worked fine out of the box (with Ubuntu 22.04) after upgrading to 24.04 it does not work any more.
Is there a way out? Are there news on when the repo from solution (1) will be ported to 24.04?
Thanks

Precision 5480 Mobile Workstation webcam Does Not Work on Ubuntu 24.04
Ubuntu and Canonical advise that the Ubuntu 24.04 operating system is adding support for the MIPI webcam. However, due to an issue found during testing the release has been delayed until July 1, 2024.

Precision 5480 webcam does not work on Ubuntu 24.04. If other systems use the same camera, then they also will not function on Ubuntu 24.04. Ubuntu 24.04 does not support the MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) webcam.
Ubuntu 24.04 is not present on any of these system Drivers & Download pages. Dell only tested the operating systems shown on those specific Drivers & Downloads pages.
Precision 5480 Drivers & Downloads page only shows Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
Precision 5680 Drivers & Downloads page only shows Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
XPS 13 9320 Drivers & Downloads page only shows Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
Latitude 7440 Drivers & Downloads page only shows Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

@DELL-Chris M
XPS 9320 was the first and also the last Dell I will ever buy.
Ultrabook for 2.5 thousand dollars and you can't even upgrade your drivers.

@DELL-Chris M I read elsewhere that there are plan to update Ubuntu 24/04 kernel to work with MIPI cameras.
Have you got any visibility on those, and when should we expect a working driver?
The camera was working on 22.04, and since 24.04 is the LTS and is hence here to stay, I suppose sooner or later this will be ported.
As in, better sooner than later.

@DELL-Chris M, the problem is related to the fact that Dell still hasn't added IPU6 camera repo (out of the kernel tree) for Ubuntu 24.04.
https://people.canonical.com/~oem-enablement/oem-meta-packages/
It's available for 20.04/22.04, but still not for 24.04.
This is a huge miss and we need the fix ASAP, please.

Despite what they've said earlier in this thread, Dell now says that support for MIPI cameras is coming to Ubuntu 24.04 "by the end of May 2024":

That's just two days away...
