No Camera Found laptop (Microsoft Surface Book 2)

Front & back cameras appear to be supported for Surface Book 2 but I'm still not sure what I need to do: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Camera-Support

https://turlucode.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-18-04-on-surface-book-2/

Seems there is a custom kernel to make stuff work.

I tried everything starting from 'Install linux-image-surface kernel" to "Post installation" but the camera still isn't working. Please let me know if there is anything else I can try.

For diagnostic purposes, what output do you receive for the commands (to be executed in a terminal window):

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
sudo lsusb
sudo lspci
sudo dmesg | grep -i -E 'firm|cam|ipu|ov5|ov7|ov8|ov9'

(not sure whether it will help, though)

I've tried a bunch of solutions, so perhaps that's why I still can't get it to work. But here's the output from a copy/paste of the commands from above...

The log files show two cameras (probably front and rear). What output do you now receive for the command

cam --list

Here is what I get from cam --list

cam: command not found

cam is contained in the package libcamera-tools

Hmmm, not sure what that means I typed "libcamera-tools cam --list" & got this: libcamera-tools cam --list.

I just googled install libcamera-tools & found this: https://libcamera.org/getting-started.html
I copy/pasted the code at the top in terminal & got this:

I've been trying different things & found this: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Camera-Support but none of the commands work. I think I found the bin files but they are in a zst that I don't have permission to uncompress. All other commands return results that include "command not found", so I'm clearly doing something wrong.

This is a fresh install, I'm don't know why this is so messed up already.

You misunderstood "cam is contained in the package libcamera-tools"

You have to install the Ubuntu package libcamera-tools and this will provide the application "cam".

Either in a terminal execute the command

sudo apt install libcamera-tools

or search in the software center (or in synaptic, or other package management tools) for the package libcamera-tools and install it from there.

Hmmmm... when I tired "sudo apt install libcamera-tools", this is the result:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libcamera-tools

PS - I still get the same result after "sudo apt update"

What output do you receive for the command

It just occurred to me - am I running into these repository issues because I originally installed Ubuntu from a USB?

Your package management system is wrongly configured. You are missing all standard Ubuntu package repositories.

What is the output of the command

cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list

I get no result from that command. All I see is a fresh command line

What output do you receive for the command

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d results....

And what is the output of the command

cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

 cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources results....
    1 Types: deb
     2 URIs: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
     3 Suites: noble-security
     4 Components: main restricted universe multiverse
     5 Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg

You should edit that file with your favorite text editor (e.g. with the command "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources" or "sudo nano ..." or "sudo vi ..." etc.)

Insert the following block of lines at the top of the file (and an empty line to separate this new block from the one already in the file):

Types: deb
URIs: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: noble noble-updates noble-backports
Components: main restricted universe multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg

save the file and close the editor, and finally run the command

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

I assume that there will be several updates waiting to be installed.

and finally run also

sudo apt install libcamera-tools

Reminder that I am new to Linux so I have no experience with a text editor. So I googled Ubuntu text editor & found this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/913609/what-are-the-default-text-editors-in-different-flavours-of-ubuntu

I tried to install the first 3 text editors on the list with the command sudo apt-get install [name] & they all end up with the same final result of... E: Unable to locate package [name]

Do I need to reinstall Linux or something? It seems I can't install anything new.

Sorry, my fault, I did not realize that you currently you cannot install an additional text editor, so you have to use one that is already installed, and the default since Ubuntu 23.10 is gnome-text-editor.

Try the following command in a terminal window:

sudo gnome-text-editor /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

and insert the block of lines as described in comment #23

Confirming that I did everything...

sudo gnome-text-editor /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

In the new window, I replaced the text that was there with the following, saved & closed...
Types: deb
URIs: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: noble noble-updates noble-backports
Components: main restricted universe multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg

Then back in Terminal, I did the following commands...
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install libcamera-tools

Then I rebooted & opened the Camera app that still says No Camera Found

The change in the configuration file was meant to repair you package management system.

I did not tell that you should replace the contents, but I wrote that you should add that block of lines in addition to what was already there in the file!

In any case, as the next step please install all available updates and the libcamera-tools package, such that you can then try the "cam" command.

Open a terminal window and issue the commands

sudo apt update
sudp apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install libcamera-tools
cam --list

What output do you receive?

Oh shoot - do I need to go back to re-add what I replaced in gnome? If so, can you tell me what I need to paste back in there?

I ran all the commands (I fixed the typo in the full-upgrade command so it also worked) & here is the result from the last command:

Available cameras:

PS I do have IR camera turned off in Bios. But I don't think that's the issue because I turned it on & rebooted & go the same result. Besides, it seems the IR camera isn't supported anyway.

1. Yes, you should re-add the removed lies into the sources list configuration file.

Issue the same command as before

sudo gnome-text-editor /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

Replace the current contents with the following lines (without the quote indicators):

2. For the camera problem:

What output do you receive for the commands
groups
ls -la /dev/video*

THANKS! Replaced what was in gnome window with the 2 paragraphs above, saved & closed.

Result of groups command:
gnoel adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev users lpadmin

You are missing the rights to use a camera, because you are not member of the "video" group

See https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Camera-Support#ensure-your-user-account-has-permissions

Hmmm... I can't get past the first step on "Ensure your user account has permissions"

When I copy/pasted the entire section in Terminal:
$ sudo usermod -aG video $USER
$ newgrp video

I get this result:
$: command not found
$: command not found

When I put this in Terminal: sudo usermod -aG video $USER
I get no result.

When I put this in Terminal: sudo usermod -aG video $gnoel@gnoel-Surface-Book-2
I get this result: usermod: user '@gnoel-Surface-Book-2' does not exist

You have to type the commands without dollar sign (which most probably is already shown in your terminal window).

Here is what I get at the cam --list step...

Just confirming my camera app still says "No camera found"

Which camera app are you using?

Have you tried the program qcam?

I'm using Camera the GNOME project 46.2
I googled how to install qcam & found this on QtCAM: https://connectwww.com/how-to-install-qtcam-webcam-software-on-ubuntu/5131/

But when I get to the 3rd step to install it, I get the same issue... E: Unable to locate package qtcam

Is there anyway I can fix everything with a new install of Ubuntu? It seems like my system is totally messed up.

Why do you always want to install software from somewhere else?

qcam is part of the Ubuntu-provided package libcamera-tools (similar to "cam").

What happens when you issue the command

qcam

Oh wow - that opened up a new dialog box & worked!

But if I go to Google to start a meeting, it still can't find my camera (or mic) & being able to use Google meet, zoom or teams is what I need.

The instruction https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Camera-Support#applications tells something about "gstreamer libcamerasrc plugin" and "pipewire-plugin-libcamera". Unfortunately it seems that they are not provided in any Ubuntu package and I do not know how to acquire them.

Maybe my previous comment was wrong, I just spotted a package that might be one of them: gstreamer1.0-libcamera
Try installing it

sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-libcamera

and then try using the gnome camera program and/or a browser

So still no progress with Camera app or Google Meet.

I went back to qcam & although the video works in the pop up, I noticed there appears to be errors in the Terminal results. Here is what shows in Terminal after qcam...

There seems to be another package with a libcamera-plugin for pipewire: libspa-0.2-libcamera. Try installing that, too.

I installed libspa-0.2-libcamera & Camera App still does not recognize the camera

I suspect it has something to do with the drivers

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

I still can't join any online meetings. There has to be a solution. What else can I try?
