Built-in Webcam Not Working
#11
options are hardware or software
hardware = disabled or broken
software = likely kernel problem

keep at it, my assumption is it is either privacy key, kernel problem, or bad hardware - in that order of likelihood.

have y'all tried to reflash the keyboard firmware?

Updated my keyboard firmware. While this did fix the SUPER + arrow keys issue, camera still doesn't work.

Same issue here. Got my unit from the latest batch shipped out from HK June 1.

output in terminal:

Code:
dmesg|grep video

Tried the privacy switch - toggled off and on and rebooted. Still the same issue.

try to update and pull a new kernel. you might have to change branch to testing or unstable. this would test if the shipped kernel is defective.

the other option would be some devices are shipped with broken/missing webcam...

iirc no one with this problem has fixed it...

Flashed Debian for pbp on external drive and booted the machine with it - same error in Cheese app.
Did a dmesg|grep video in terminal with the following result:

Code:
rock@Debian-Desktop:~$ dmesg|grep video

Sorry, but I'm rather new to Manjaro...How do I pull and update the system to a new kernel?
I did sudo pacman -Syyu an here's the result:

Code:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date

error: target not found: update

warning: snapd: local (2.45-3) is newer than community (2.45-1)
there is nothing to do

Still no device found and dmesg|grep video still the same result.

Update:
I also updated my keyboard firmware via this guide: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-flash.../112366/27

And still no webcam

Here's the output from lusb:

Code:

the camera works, but is not great

Yes, my user is added to the video group.

Here is my dmesg output (doesn't change if the privacy switch is enabled or disabled):

output of a working webcam. (is the same).

I received my laptop this week. Only had problems with WIFI (so was turned off, privacy switch). My webcam works.

https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...y_Switches <- switches. i had to reboot.

For those with working webcams, would you be able to check which modules you have loaded and post on this forums pls?

lsmod

Would be a good starting point to compare outputs.

Thank you so much!

For reference, this is the lsmod from Pinebook Pro with non working webcam:

Update: uvcvideo is in the output for lsmod working webcam while it's nowhere to be found in that of the non-working webcam pbp..
I've already tried doing an modprobe uvcvideo it seems to add it to usbcore when I do dmesg | grep video but still webcam is not working after that (even after reboot as well) Huh

Same problem here. PBP shipped in June. No way to get the webcam to work



compared to others there are no



/dev/video3

/dev/video4



here



From a running webcam PBP:



Code:
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
rockchip,rk3399-vpu-enc (platform: hantro-vpu):
        /dev/video1
        /dev/video2
        /dev/media0

rockchip-rga (platform:rga):
        /dev/video0

USB Camera: USB Camera (usb-fe3c0000.usb-1.2):
        /dev/video3
        /dev/video4
        /dev/media1


From my - no webcam system:

Code:
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
rockchip,rk3399-vpu-enc (platform: hantro-vpu):
        /dev/video1
        /dev/video2
        /dev/media0

rockchip-rga (platform:rga):
        /dev/video0


I have the fear that this is an hardware problem within the latest PBP models delivered in June!


Where can I contact Pine and check this out?

You can try opening a support ticket here, but the response time for their 2nd line of support... Let's just say it isn't great. I created a ticket back on June 7th, they forwarded it to their engineering team on June 9th, and I still haven't heard from them.
