Xps-14 camera stopped working on kernel 6.10

Ask Fedora

I had hacked together a working camera solution on 6.9 by compiling drivers from intel from source, but in 6.10 the intel-ipu6 driver has been blacklisted. My camera ov02c10-uf is now longer detetect at boot time and I see nothing about ipu6 in dmesg.

I know that some kind of support is coming in Fedora 41, but I would rather not be without camera for a month and a half.

Any ideas on how to even debug this situation?

F41 is actually branched and nearing Beta status.

I don’t know if the driver is included there, but if so then maybe an upgrade to f41 would provide a solution.

Another alternative is to remove the blacklisting for that module so it can be loaded with the 6.10 kernel or to remain on the 6.9 kernel until the final release of f41.
