Default camera app launches and immediately crashes if launched with camera hardware switch on. If launched with switch off and then switched on, no immediate crash but app is very buggy. Audio & video recording out of sync. Instability and random crashes. Slow playback of recordings.
I was getting an error message saying “No camera found” whenever I tried to launch the app “Camera” in Ubuntu 24.04.
I found advice to run this command from a terminal:
sudo usermod -aG video $USER
After running the command you need to re-boot.
Now the app runs reliably whether I start with the bezel shutter switch open or closed.
