    Camera not working after update Ubuntu 24.04

    My Camera is not working after I updated from Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic Minotaur) to 24.04 (Noble Numbat). I purchased one of those cheap laptops Gateway GWNR7151-7BK Ryzen 7.
    Do I need to install new drivers?

    Try the much simpler step of rebooting into an older kernel at GRUB,

    Make sure your camera is enabled in your system settings. Updates can sometimes reset settings. Additionally, there might be an issue with the drivers. You can check for additional drivers by navigating to the "Software & Updates" application and then selecting the "Additional Drivers" tab. If you see any camera-related drivers listed there, try selecting and installing them to see if it resolves the issue with your camera.

    I have the same problem, camera stopped working after upgrade to 24.04 from 23.10. I installed cheese and I get this error:

    I tried the old kernel 6.5, but the same.

    Re: Camera not working after update Ubuntu 24.04

    After installing Ubuntu 24.04 default camera apps says there's no camera found. So i installed `Cheese` and it just worked fine. But i wanted defaults to work, so i searched up on internet and got this. and after doing `systemctl --user restart pipewire` dafault Camera app working fine.

    thank you for posting this. I faced exactly the same issue and your solution is working fine. The only thing is that the command provided as a solution should be issued after every reboot.

    Regards!

    Yes, I too find that this solves my problem (with the camera built in to my Lenovo laptop).

    Does anyone know how do we make this survive reboot?
