MIPI Webcam on Lenovo Thinkpad X1 carbon Gen 11 on Ubuntu 22.04 not fully working

pn flag

I have just installed Ubuntu 22.04 on my new X1 Carbon Gen 11. Everything seems to be working, except, unsurprisingly, the MIPI webcam. This question addresses the same issue but for the X1 Carbon Gen 10. I followed all the instructions outlined in the solution below, specifically using dkms and also always went with the ipu6ep wherever I had a choice.

This almost works. After the command

sudo -E gst-launch-1.0 icamerasrc buffer-count=7 device-name=ov2740-uf ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1280,height=720 ! v4l2sink device=${DEVICE}

the camera light switches on, indicating that something is happening. However on the terminal I see the following output:

The last couple of lines are repeated every half second or so and the camera light stays on. However cheese is not able to detect the camera. I also tried to launch cheese with the command

cheese -d "Intel MIPI Camera"

and this does not help.

Is there anybody in a similar situation and got the MIPI Camera to work?

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
