Fresh install from USB. I overwrote the MacOS. Was that dumb?
Trying the accepted answer here https://askubuntu.com/questions/990218/camera-not-working-on-macbook-pro I ran
sudo apt-get install git sudo apt-get install curl xzcat cpio git clone https://github.com/patjak/facetimehd-firmware.git cd facetimehd-firmware
xzcat doesn't seam to be working, so I ran:
sudo apt-get install xz-utils
Then I did a search and replace in the Makefile replacing xzcat with xz-utils
make
I get:
Checking dependencies for driver download... /bin/cpio Makefile:34: recipe for target 'AppleCameraInterface' failed make: *** [AppleCameraInterface] Error 1
The final analyzsis was that the binary wasn't being moved into /lib/firmware/facetimehd/. It looks like the installer couldn't move it, when I manually did it then sudo modprobe facetimehd and it worked!
