I have referenced the thread at: MacBook Pro camera not working on Ubuntu 18.04



It lists the following steps:



cd /etc/local/src
git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git
cd bcwc_pcie/firmware
sudo make
sudo make install
cd ..
sudo make
sudo install
sudo depmod
sudo modprobe -r bdc_pci
sudo modprobe facetimehd


I had the camera working, but forgot what I did. After an update, the camera stopped working.



I just followed the above steps except for the sudo install didn't work, so I did sudo make install.



I am now getting the following error when I try to sudo modprobe facetimehd:



wayne@MacBookUbuntu:~/Downloads/bcwc_pcie$ sudo modprobe facetimehd
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'facetimehd': Exec format error


Also is there a way to make the change permanent once fixed?

  • Update: It works. Apparently all the steps above work if you substitute sudo make install for sudo install. I rebooted and did a fresh download and the steps worked. I had been trying to save myself a step by using the old download.
