MacBook Pro camera not working on Ubuntu 18.04
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I've tried the solution on this website https://medium.com/@racter/how-to-install-ubuntu-16-04-on-a-retina-macbook-11-2-74e7779c0e47:
$ 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
However, I get the following error after the first sudo make.
Checking dependencies for driver download...
/usr/bin/xzcat
/bin/cpio
Makefile:34: recipe for target 'AppleCameraInterface' failed
make: *** [AppleCameraInterface] Error 1

Useless -N Makefileand see what line 34 references. Executesudo lshw(readman lshw) to see what the system thinks your camera is. BTW, Yoursudo installline is probably incorrect.

Try installing curl. I also got the same problem and then I figured out that it is because curl is not installed default in Ubuntu 18.04.
sudo apt-get install curl

Doesn't run after reboot. Apparently need to update the /etc/modules file but I don't what to enter??
Edit: To get webcam working after boot, in terminal:

- add 'facetimehd' on a new line (without quotes).
- Save and reboot..
