I have referenced the thread at: MacBook Pro camera not working on Ubuntu 18.04
It lists the following steps:
cd /etc/local/src
git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git
cd bcwc_pcie/firmware
sudo make
sudo make install
cd ..
sudo make
sudo install
sudo depmod
sudo modprobe -r bdc_pci
sudo modprobe facetimehd
I had the camera working, but forgot what I did. After an update, the camera stopped working.
I just followed the above steps except for the sudo install
didn’t work, so I did sudo make install
.
I am now getting the following error when I try to sudo modprobe facetimehd:
wayne@MacBookUbuntu:~/Downloads/bcwc_pcie$ sudo modprobe facetimehd
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'facetimehd': Exec format error
Also is there a way to make the change permanent once fixed?
For anyone who runs into this in the future, you need to run a make clean
on both the facetime firmware and bdc_pci. So...
cd facetimehd-firmware/
make clean
make
sudo make install
cd ../bcwc_pcie/
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo depmod
sudo modprobe -r bdc_pci
sudo modprobe facetimehd
sudo vim /etc/modules
then make sure that facetimehd
is still written into your modules file.
Hope this helps!
