Hey, I am also having the same issue on dell latitude 7440 and 7450. Let me know what you would like me to run. I tried what was posted above with no luck.

Hi @rb416,

for the Latitude 7440, the OEM metapackage to install is:

oem-somerville-lapras-meta

and for the Latitude 7450

oem-somerville-oddish-meta

Lemme know.

In case you have installed other packages, please purge them.

Thanks for the quick reply but it seems that I already had that package and the camera is still not working. I did remove the other packages before proceeding. Also when running sudo ubuntu-drivers list , I get a single output of oem-somerville-oddish-meta

sudo add-apt-repository --list

Glad to help! :slight_smile:

Have you tried to run an advanced diagnostic on the camera?

Also, is the camera enabled? please press F2 when booting. There should be a check in the relative box.

I have not ran advance diagnostics but this laptop was shipped with Windows 11 and the camera works on that OS. Its just on ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, it does not work.

Alright! Are you partitioning or now is a pure Ubuntu Lap?

This is a clean, pure install of just Ubuntu

Okay @rb416 ,

Could you please post the code for

sudo apt install oem-somerville-oddish-meta

and make sure that there is a check in the box for “enable camera” after you press F2 when booting? Thanks
