** Description changed:
Thanks in advance for taking a look.
The webcam on my X1 Nano (Gen 2, OV2740 behind IPU6) worked on a clean
Ubuntu 26.04 install. After a routine `apt upgrade` rolled the HWE
kernel forward to 7.0.0-14 and then 7.0.0-15, it stopped producing
frames. Nothing else camera-related changed in that upgrade.
On the surface everything still looks fine. libcamera and pipewire both
see an `ov2740` device. /dev/video* are populated. The IPU6 driver is
happy:
- intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Found supported sensor INT3474:01
- intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Connected 1 cameras
+ intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Found supported sensor INT3474:01
+ intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Connected 1 cameras
But every app that tries to open the camera fails the same way:
- spa.v4l2: /dev/video0: VIDIOC_S_PARM: Inappropriate ioctl for device
- spa.v4l2: '/dev/video0' VIDIOC_STREAMON: Link has been severed
+ spa.v4l2: /dev/video0: VIDIOC_S_PARM: Inappropriate ioctl for device
+ spa.v4l2: '/dev/video0' VIDIOC_STREAMON: Link has been severed
Cheese, Firefox, Chromium and Zoom all behave identically. BIOS privacy
- is off and the FN-toggle has been checked.
+ is off and the physical has been checked.
I'm not sure I'm reading this right, but it looks like the VSC chain
might not be coming up. `mei_vsc_hw` is loaded but unbound. `mei_vsc`,
`intel_vsc`, `ivsc_csi`, `ivsc_ace` aren't loaded at all. The ov2740
probe complains about missing rails (AVDD/DOVDD/DVDD, "supply X not
found, using dummy regulator"), which I think the VSC normally provides.
Tracing back, the ACPI path looks like:
- \_SB_.PC00.SPI1.SPFD HID INTC1094
- \_SB_.PC00.SPI1.SPFD.CVFD HID INTC1095
+ \_SB_.PC00.SPI1.SPFD HID INTC1094
+ \_SB_.PC00.SPI1.SPFD.CVFD HID INTC1095
`INTC1094` is one of `mei_vsc_hw`'s alias matches. But the parent device
for `\_SB_.PC00.SPI1` shows an empty `_HID` in /sys, so I don't think
the kernel is instantiating a SPI controller on that node. If that's
right, INTC1094 and INTC1095 never become spi_devices and `mei_vsc_hw`
has nothing to bind to. That's my best guess at where it falls over, but
I could easily be off.
A couple of side notes in case they matter:
* The PCH SPI controller (PCI 0000:00:1f.5, spi0) has one child for the BIOS
flash. spi-nor fails JEDEC identification on it ("unrecognized JEDEC id bytes:
f7 30 30 09 03 00"). I think this is unrelated.
* There's an Intel USB-LJCA bridge (8086:0b63) at HS08 / INTC1098 that brings
up spi1 via spi_ljca. spi1 has no children (waiting_for_supplier=0). I'm not
sure if the VSC is supposed to live here on this platform.
I don't know what changed between the kernel I originally installed with
and 7.0.0-14. apt history puts the HWE hop to 7.0.0-14.14 on 2026-04-23
and nothing else camera-related changed in that transaction.
- Happy to do whatever is helpful.
+ Happy to do whatever is helpful my side to debug.
- Attached `diagnostics.txt` has DMI, package versions, lsmod, lspci/lsusb, the
spi_master tree, the relevant ACPI nodes, and the IPU6/MEI/VSC/OV2740/LJCA
kernel and libcamera/pipewire log lines.
