Glad to help!
Alright, keep an eye on that list in the next days, @roberto-derenzi
We have to give some time to the developers to fix all the issues, I guess.
Hey everyone,
I have been trying to fix mine for a few hours this time around but it looks like dkms cannot build for the latest kernel. Here is the root cause:

If anyone hears about the intel-ipu6-dkms module being patched, it would be great.
Hi @annalito,
a number of people successfully made the camera work by totally removing the intel-ipu6-dkms actually.
sudo apt-get remove --purge intel-ipu6-dkms
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
ubuntu-drivers list
There should be another driver listed that is not an oem-metapackage and not a dkms. If so, please install that one. Also, if you have installed libcamhal0, please purge it too.

I guess I missed the part about removing both the other drivers @federicarike ! thanks for the help. my issue is solved now !

I tried to apt remove also oem-somerville-treecko-meta and all âlibcamhalâ libraries, besides `intel-ipu6-dkmsâ, and actually the output of
ubuntu-drivers list
changed (same oem-somerville-treecko-meta but different libcamhal-ipu6epmtl, same intel-ipu6-dkms. Still, after reinstalling these and checking
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
Intel MIPI Camera (platform:v4l2loopback-000):
/dev/video0
the result is a blank screen on
ffplay -f video4linux2 /dev/video0
Glad you solved, @annalito ! 
Hi @roberto-derenzi,
so what did you reinstall? Only the oem metapackage and the libcamhal-ipu6epmtl ?
Please do NOT reinstall the dkms one (and if you did, please purge it).
Hi @feredicarike, thanks for your prompt reply! Yes I just redid the following:
sudo apt purge oem-somerville-treecko-meta
sudo apt purge intel-ipu6-dkms
sudo apt purge libcamhal-ipu6epmtl
sudo apt purge intel-ipu6-dkms
Actuially, when I sudo apt install again all four, on the dkms step I get an error for the 6.14 kernel (I do not know how to remove completely that kernel, even if I purge its source and headers something tells apt to include it in the module compilation)

I hope this does not interfere with vital 6.11 module compilation. Then I reboot and ffplay produces a blank screen.
P:S. I am running 6.11.0-29-generic, of course
Wait so you downgraded to the previous kernel version?
We stayed with the 6.14 and purged the dkms.
@federicarike thanks for all your help in this long thread! Unfortunately Iâm still struggling to get my camera to work under 6.14 on a Dell XPS 13 9350 with Ubuntu 24.04.
I tried to follow the initial instructions to purge all those repositories and libraries, and then install the Drivers shown in the output of ubuntu-drivers list. Then I tried removing libcamhal0 and intel-ipu6-dkms but no success. Iâd appreciate if you could help me here please - I am a bit lost and trying to follow these steps which have evolved a bit since the beginning of the thread, but I donât really know what I am doing⊠This is my Drivers list output:
$ ubuntu-drivers list
udevadm hwdb is deprecated. Use systemd-hwdb instead.

Hi,
Iâm having a seemingly similar problem on my Dell Latitude 5490, running Linux Mint 22.2 Zara (fresh install).
Base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble
Kernel: 6.14.0-29-generic arch: x86_64 bits
Desktop: Xfce v: 4.18.1
The camera screen is always black, and the light does not light up.
I tried
ubuntu-drivers list
which gives

Then I tried
sudo apt-get remove libcamhal0
sudo apt-get remove --purge intel-ipu6-dkms
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
But after re-asking
ubuntu-drivers list
I still get

Does it make sense?
Then, I reinstalled
sudo apt-get install libcamhal-ipu6epmtl
And after restart, the camera is still blackâŠ
What can I do?
Hi @rafaguedes,
Sorry for the late reply!
If I understand correctly, you purged all the ppa repositories and packages, then updated and upgraded and you got that list. Correct?
Have you then installed the oem-somerville-tyrogue-meta and the libcamhal-ipu7x ?
Also, can you please post a list of your repositories?
Thanks a lot!
Hi @motterouge,
Sorry for the late reply!
In your last list of the post I cannot see the oem metapackage, did you install it?
It should be
oem-somerville-oricorio-meta
Also, before installing the package, can you post your list of repositories?
Thanks a lot.
Hi @federicarike , thank you for your reply,
The camera worked after I updated some firmware.
Thanks

Glad to hear you solved! 
Alright, what about repeating all the troubleshooting commands in the wiki?
Here: Troubleshooting steps
In the wiki should be apt purge <Long_list_of_packages_with*>
then installing the two packages
oem-somerville-oricorio-meta
libcamhal-ipu6epmtl
in your list? Let me know what happens.
I think I had tried before; anyway, I retried, and no change.
Note that the last command was a little strange:
sudo apt-get install libcamhal-ipu6epmtl
Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
Construction de l'arbre des dépendances... Fait
Lecture des informations d'Ă©tat... Fait
libcamhal-ipu6epmtl est déjà la version la plus récente (0~git202501070628.8346d93~ubuntu24.04.2).
libcamhal-ipu6epmtl passé en « installé manuellement ».
0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 0 à enlever et 0 non mis à jour.
so it was already installed, even though I thought I had purged everything before?
Also, the list of enabled drivers (beside nvidia-driver-580-open):
Hi @motterouge, and thanks for the screenshots!
I do not know why you have it already installed, if you purged using
sudo apt purge oem-*-meta libia-* libgcss* libipu* libcamhal*
I usually do also sudo apt-get autopurge and sudo apt-get autoremove to remove all dependencies.
Then I proceed by installing the required packages.
There is a large pool of people (including me) who solved by removing the intel-ipu6-dkms. In my case, I had to remove also libcamhal0.
Other issues were automatically solved, as they updated the firmware.
