Hello, I have been overall very happy with my Manjaro installation - I first tried PopOS but my track pad, camera, microphone, and speakers didn’t work out the box. I was able to get speakers and mic working but after a lot of troubleshooting never got others to work. On Manjaro, everything seems to be working out the box except my webcam. I tried searching for solutions but wasn’t able to find one that worked for me.

The keyboard does not have an Fn key so I have no idea how I would go about trying the Fn + F6 trick. I considered plugging a USB keyboard in but all of my keyboards also have no Fn key.
Fn is usually a placeholder for any number
Fx , Fa , F2 …
… any one of the F(1 through 12) keys you might have
what is that “trick”?
what is it supposed to accomplish?
Hello, apologies - this solution here is what I was referring to. A user said that sometimes that is a hardware key combo to toggle the webcam.
I could not identify your notebook model in a search based upon your inxi -SMGxxx output
(… not enough information about the thing so far)
The command often recommended here was inxi -Fazy
The only thing I found was this
but I don’t know if that is even your model
also leads to
Something about an intel-ipu6 module and that in other models a different camera interface was used
Perhaps it’s also important to know what you did to:
There is no hardware switch?
I don’t even know what the keyboard of such a device looks like - there must be the equivalent of function keys.
With the speakers & mic, the problem ended up being that there are 7 different output devices with simply a different ending number, one of which actually does something. Same issue with the microphone.
Manjaro made this easy but on PopOS I had to use some command line tools to finally be able to enable the audio device and also configure which one to actually use.
There is no user-facing hardware switch for the camera, just a privacy cover built into the laptop but when closed, the camera is not disconnected, it simply is blocked. I have tested this in the past where you can physically see the camera being obstructed/unobstructed and readjusting when the light increases. The device never disappears, but simply is a black feed.
I can’t include images or links in my posts but searching “hp elite dragonfly chromebook keyboard” on an image search has many results of what it looks like for reference.
The keybind that was suggested was FN + F7 but there is no key that acts as FN on this keyboard - PopOS had a keyboard tester where it would light up visually what key was being pressed and while there was a FN key on the screen, no key or key combo I could press would register as FN by the system.
I dont see any webcam in the outputs.
I dont know if this is a switch or lack of module, etc.
According to the docs I searched up there is no key corresponding to controlling the camera.

But if it does have to do with needing ipu6 then you might look at the AUR;

It needs kernel header files. For kernel 6.9 install the package linux69-headers.
Just as the person in the post, that package is already installed and the file is there.
warning: linux69-headers-6.9.2-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
Well looking at the comments for that AUR package the build seems to be broken. There is a possible solution posted there (I haven’t tried it myself).
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-ipu6ep-camera-hal-git
Yeah I saw that but I’m not technical in Linux enough to understand what they mean by these fixes or how to implement them with yay, would it just be yay ipu6 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="" that I have to run?
Those are instructions for fixing and building the package manually. I suggest leaving it alone because he says the camera still doesn’t work after doing that anyway…
There is also GitHub - stefanpartheym/archlinux-ipu6-webcam: Easy installation for patched Intel IPU6 camera drivers . According to the README there IPU6 drivers are in kernel 6.10.x, so your easiest solution is to try the 6.10.x-rc kernel (or wait until it becomes stable).
Ok, I’ll wait for 6.10 to arrive and report back. Thank you!
Ok I am running 6.10.0-rc4-1-MANJARO (linux610) and am getting No camera found in the Camera app.
inxi -Fazy now shows:
Audio:
Device-1: Intel Alder Lake Imaging Signal Processor driver: N/A
bus-ID: 00:05.0 chip-ID: 8086:465d class-ID: 0480
Whereas in my previous post on 6.9 kernel, it said:
Audio:
Device-1: Intel Alder Lake Imaging Signal Processor driver: intel-ipu6
alternate: intel_ipu6, intel_ipu6_psys, intel_ipu6_isys bus-ID: 00:05.0
chip-ID: 8086:465d class-ID: 0480
Installing intel-ipu6ep-camera-hal-git with yay also still fails even though linux610-headers is installed.
Any ideas on how to at least get the ipu6 driver working in the inxi output again?
Part of the output of lspci is:
00:04.0 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake Innovation Platform Framework Processor Participant (rev 04)
00:05.0 Multimedia controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake Imaging Signal Processor (rev 04)
That AUR package is broken and will not build on any kernel unless you’re able to follow the instructions to fix the PKGBUILD and then build it manually. But people who have done that report that “the camera still doesn’t work”.
It shouldn’t be used on a 6.10 kernel anyway, the whole point is that those drivers are now in the kernel. I don’t know why they aren’t being loaded in 6.10rc4, try loading them manually by sudo modprobe intel-ipu6 and sudo modprobe intel-ipu6-isys.
Not found unfortunately:
sudo modprobe intel-ipu6
modprobe: FATAL: Module intel-ipu6 not found in directory /lib/modules/6.10.0-rc4-1-MANJARO
sudo modprobe intel-ipu6-isys
modprobe: FATAL: Module intel-ipu6-isys not found in directory /lib/modules/6.10.0-rc4-1-MANJARO
Although the possibility to build them is there, they are not included in the Manjaro kernel.
They haven’t been built.
They could be built - they are included in the kernel headers from which the kernel is built
but apparently the configuration for the build process has not been updated to actually build them.
The possibility is there - a custom kernel build after updating the kernel config should build them.
Whether the module works remains to be seen then.

Ahh, that would explain it lol.
@trixter all I can suggest is make a post in the kernel category with a request to include these drivers in the 6.10 kernel. Or build a custom 6.10 kernel yourself…
Ok, I created the post: Please build ipu6 camera drivers with kernel 6.10
Fingers crossed, thank you!
I see that the Kernel thread has been closed - does that mean that in the next kernel release the drivers will be built and hopefully fix my issue? It’d be helpful if they gave a message explaining why it was closed.
