    Unhappy Dell 7320 Detaachable Webcam

    Hi there!

    I have a Dell 7320 detachable wiith an 11th gen i7. With ubuntu 24.04.01, everything outside of the webcam worked fine. I saw in the news that the new kernel in 24.10 would include webcam support for devices like mine. I upgraded (and clean installed) 24.10 and the webcam still doesn't work. It's recognized for sure, which is progress, but still not working. Looking over this forum and some Google searcing, is my 11th gen CPU still in the will-work-eventually part of this?

    I did try Fedora 41 and it acted the same.

    You will have to be more specific if you actually want help. Saying 'it doesn't work' is not much information. How do you try to use/access the camera, with what software and what happens when you try?

    You are so right, that's on me. I had it in my mind that the new kernel would 'just work' when I should know better. I'll offer more info!

    I have the dell listed and, for example, in Zoom, the camera is listed but it's a blank screen. Here is an image

    When I do a webcam test, it's the same. This is huge progress becasue in previous versions it wasn't even detected.

    Morning! I’ve been looking at how to file a kernel bug too. Maybe that would help my webcam and anyone else with a Dell having trouble.
