Dell Precision 5680 camera not working

Hi,
I am on a precision 5680 with Ubuntu 22.04, I did the purge and the modules install and my kernel got bumped from 8.0-51 to 8.0-52.
However the camera was still not working (since an unfortunate update to kernel 6.8.0-51).
I did few more steps: checking the oem box (muk for Precision 5680) in the additional drivers tab of update-manager, then once checked and reboot, two more options were available: backport-iwlwifi and libcamhal0. Checked the two, and the camera is working.
Thanks a lot Federica for your help!

Hi @bibiole,
so

you purged the ipu6/7 stuff and friends
sudo apt autopurge oem-*-meta libia-* libgcss* libipu* libcamhal*
sudo apt autopurge lib*ipu6*
sudo apt autopurge lib*ipu7*

then

sudo apt-get update  #updated repositories and cache
sudo ubuntu-drivers list

and then installed the ones listed and rebooted ?
Yes, the right OEM metapackage is indeed

oem-somerville-muk-meta

Let us do everything from terminal.
Also I saw you had three ppa for OEM, why did you add them?
