Hello,
I am running ubuntu budgie in a macbook air 2018.
Cheese says “there was an error playing video from the webcam” and guvcview can see the camera
Under Settings the camera is not shown
If I check “additional drivers” I see the following:
“Broadcom Inc and subsidiaries : 720p FaceTime HD Camera
This device is not working
Option 1; using Kernel driver for FacetimeHD amera from facetimehd-dkms (open source)
Option 2: continue using a manually installed driver
Option 3: do not use the device”
I cannot choose another option than 3
The terminal shows these errors:
MacBookAir7-2:~$ guvcview -d /dev/video0
