(I was invited here to raise this is as a new question)

I have a Dell Latitude 7640 laptop (2023) running Ubuntu 23.04.

The integrated webcam is not recognized, though an external one works fine. The integrated camera is described by the manufacturer as "FHD/IR Camera with ExpressSign-In + Intelligent Privacy, Temporal Noise Reduction, Camera Shutter, Mic" and works well on Windows (Windows no longer installed on my machine).

Without the external webcam plugged in, asking

sudo lshw -C video

produces

And

ls -l /dev/vid*;id

returns

ls: cannot access '/dev/vid*': No such file or directory

With an external webcam plugged in, asking lsusb I get

Following the request below by @Raffles, without the external webcam plugged in I asked inxi -Fxz and got the following:

A solution was posted here for the webcam on Dell 7340 / 7440 running 22.04. This solution has worked for me too, so I am reproducing it for easier reference.

Install the IPU6/IPU6EP stack manually:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6
sudo apt install linux-modules-ipu6-generic-hwe-22.04 linux-modules-ivsc-generic-hwe-22.04
sudo apt install libcamhal-ipu6ep0
sudo reboot

Add the video group to your user if this isn't done automatically.

Your integrated webcam should work on Zoom, Skype and OBS now, though not necessarily on Cheese.
