USAGE

check if its present in your laptop or not.

lsusb | grep "Quanta Computer"

if it shows something like this

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0408:4035 Quanta Computer, Inc.

or

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0408:4033 Quanta Computer, Inc.

then you can go ahead.

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️

👉 Disable Secure boot in your Laptop's 💻 BIOS 👈

as the module is not signed and it will give error

insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /usr/lib/modules/uvcvideo.ko: key was rejected by service

Install Required Packages

ubuntu

sudo apt install build-essential

This May be Required on some debian based distros

sudo apt-get install gcc-12 g++-12
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-12 20
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-12 20

Fedora/Nobara

sudo dnf install kernel-devel

clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/fus0g/Quanta-HD-User-Facing-0x0408-0x4035_linux.git && cd Quanta-HD-User-Facing-0x0408-0x4035_linux

Method 1: build and install

chmod +x install_driver.sh
./install_driver.sh

Method 2: Makefile method

$ make                   // previously installed modules remove and install again
$ make clean            // clean previous installed modules
$ make install         // install the module

Now your camera should be working most probably!

if this dont work then try doing it manually by the following steps.

1. Get Your Kernel Source
2. Navigate to drivers/media/usb/uvc
3. Add This code to uvc_driver.c
4. compile the module only in the same directory using the command

   make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd)

   on ubuntu based distros

   COMPILER_VERSION=$(grep -o 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-[0-9]*' /proc/version | head -n 1)
   make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) CC="$COMPILER_VERSION"

5. If it compiles fine you would get a uvcvideo.ko module in the folder.
6. Unload previous version from kernel using

   sudo rmmod uvcvideo

7. Load new module

   sudo insmod uvcvideo.ko

   Now it should work but change will be removed on reboot:)
