So I decided to start using Ubuntu (Version 20.04) on my Macbook Pro one day, all was well until I tried to take a picture from my internal camera through Cheese.

The Cheese window is just a blank screen that says: 'No device found' And on any other video recording device that should have access to the camera shows a blank screen with no Input Capture from the camera.

I tried installing the Facetime HD camera drivers for running Ubuntu on a Macbook, but I ran into some errors and in the end, it didn't work.

The websites I tried following the directions are:

https://github.com/patjak/facetimehd/wiki/Get-Started#firmware-extraction https://github.com/patjak/facetimehd/wiki/Installation#get-started-on-ubuntu https://gist.github.com/johnjeffers/3006011ec7767a4101cdd118e8d64290 https://victorleungtw.medium.com/install-ubuntu-20-04-lts-on-macbookpro14-1-9f1b6afde43d

The Ubuntu uname -r outputs:

5.11.0-40-generic

None of the solutions on the GitHub websites work as I read every comment.

The only thing I think might be helpful from lspci is:

Output of sudo lshw -c multimedia is (Shows no video device, if it helps)

Thanks in advance.

    sudo lshw -c multimedia in a terminal and add the result to the bottom of your question please. Nov 24, 2021 at 7:56
  • This worked: askubuntu.com/a/1432776/925128 Cheese didn't work but Kamoso did. I have also installed the AppleUSBVideoSupport driver.
