Include option for FacetimeHD Drivers // Drivers not working in Odin RC3 #522

Closed supaeasy closed 2 years ago

supaeasy commented 2 years ago

Would be great if somehow Camera Drivers for (older) MacBooks worked out of the box. Also had some problems with proprietary drivers (WiFi) in general, as I found no Option yet to include them during installation (guess it comes with the final Version) but was able to fix it eventually. With Hera I got the Camera running but with Odin RC3 I am having Problems.

Maybe steps from here could be somehow included in the distro/AppCenter? https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki/Installation#get-started-on-ubuntu

Getting these errors in RC3:

At main.c:160:
- SSL error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory: ../crypto/bio/bss_file.c:69
- SSL error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file: ../crypto/bio/bss_file.c:76

Yep, can again confirm that I have the same errors, but on the latest stable install on a MacBook Air 6,1.

I did read here of an alternate way to install the driver when encountering the SSL error (which is actually an issue with Ubuntu, and not with elementary itself), but that failed to work for me.

elementary ships with unmodified Ubuntu kernels.

Any proposals for additional drivers to be included in the kernel would have to be submitted to Ubuntu.
