I am running Ubuntu 22.04.4 on a dell XPS 13 9315 and suddenly started having issues with my webcam.

The camera does not seem to turn on and just shows black in each application I try (chrome, cheese, kamoso, zoom). Previously, when the camera was wokring, the light next to it would come on. Now the light never comes on.

v4l2-ctl recognized Intel MIPI Camera as well as some ipu6 devices:

sudo v4l2-ctl --list-devices [sudo] password for benc: ipu6 (PCI:pci:pci0000:00): /dev/video1 /dev/video2 /dev/video3 /dev/video4 /dev/video5 /dev/video6 /dev/video7 /dev/video8 ipu6 (pci:pci0000:00): /dev/media0 Intel MIPI Camera (platform:v4l2loopback-000): /dev/video0 

The output of lsusb does not seem to recognize the camera:

sudo lsusb Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 003: ID 8086:0b63 Intel Corp. USB Bridge Bus 003 Device 002: ID 27c6:63ac Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Goodix USB2.0 MISC Bus 003 Device 004: ID 8087:0033 Intel Corp. Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub 

Following other answers, I made sure that libcamhal-ipu6ep0 is installed properly. This did not seem to make any difference.

Can't give you sources - but I read somewhere a rollback to 22.04.3 (with linux 6.2) solved the issue for some people.

It's a kernel/driver thing, so you might want to look into this direction, if a downgrade did not sove your problem.
