Hi
I’m test first test user of us moving to Framework laptops for development as a business.
I’m setting things up for the time and encountering a few different issues.
This specific one is that the Webcam is not working on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS in the 12th Generation laptop.
Tried install gucview and running it.
In the app I get a blackscreen and the error guview not working
On the console

Anyone have any suggestions of what the issue might be?
Just to be sure, have you switched the camera on?
It’s the two switches on the sides of the camera, they are red when the mic and camera are cut.
Definitely have the switches set to on. Tried them both ways, if I have the camera set to off I get told there is no device installed which is a very different error to what I’m seeing above

(Previous answer deleted: you obviously already have the package v4l-utils, because you are using v4l2-ctl.)
Tried running (might be doing this wrong)
v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=3840,height=2160,pixelformat=MJPG --stream-mmap --stream-to=frame.jpg --stream-count=1
The led next to the camera comes on which it hasn’t done before. The command just hangs and a 0 byte size frame.jpg is created

Just to eliminate a possible cause, do you have the proper permissions on /dev/video0?
And if /dev/video0 pertains to a group, are you also in that group too?
ls -al /dev/video0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Jun 14 11:13 /dev/video0
Ok, are you in the video group?
Just type the command groups to find out.
I am not. I’ll try adding myself

I’m now in the video group, have logged in and out. Nothing has changed as a result. Still seeing the same behaviors

Thank you for the assistance so far btw
No problem, sorry that it was not fruitful…
Right now I don’t have the answer to your problem, hopefully somebody else can also chime in.
As I understand, camera support should be pretty much out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 22.04, so there may be something not right, maybe hardware, who knows.
Can you also try another software, for example video inside Google Chrome?
Tried testing it with discord and got the same behaviour of it just showing a black image.

Ok hmm… next I would check the camera cable, and contact Support…
Hi @Dominic_DeCesare,
Linux Support Lead here. Mapeleaf did a great job with some initial testing and troubleshooting. Here’s what we know o far.
I feel like something must have changed somewhere along the line. Going to try and reproduce now. In the meantime:
- Anything changed or added with ffmpeg outside of the standard repos?
- We know the camera is detected as showing in your device list. The work with v4l2-ctl saved us a ton of back and forth.
- How was GUVCVIEW installed? Specifically.
- I also wonder if there is additional ownership/permission issues happening somewhere.
Just tol rule some stuff out:
- Please test a Live Ubuntu 22.04 USB, test Cheese - did this work?
- If it did, while still booted to the live USB key, connect to wifi
sudo apt update && apt install guvcview - Without the changes to power savings/kernel from the guide, I am hopeful wifi won’t time out on you here, but it should maintain long enough to get the package installed.
- Try GUVCVIEW from inside the Live USB.

Not that I’m aware of, the only thing I believe was done before it was handed over to me was setting up secure boot.
Using apt
It’s worth noting I had the same behaviour with Teams before installing, and discord afterwards so it’s not limited to GUVCVIEW
I’ll try this next week, as I can’t try that today.
I’m wondering if the Secure Boot aspect is where the issue is here
ffmpeg is not currently installed
