The Intel IPU6 in my Dell Precision 5680 fails in any which way I'm trying to get it to work with ubuntu 24.04 (kernel 6.8.0-31-generic). The clickyclicky 'Additional drivers' doesn't work, the oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6 PPA doesn't work. The failures are various, from not even having a /dev/video* showing up to just having a buffer ioctl-related error in v4l2-dependant software, to not finding the .zst compressed firmware under /lib/firmware.
To add to the already confusing heap of issues, there's also a libcamera0.2, that may or may not work - it didn't in my case, but I've got to spend a few hours trying to explore that route.
I have to say this was a humiliating experience; there is virtually no documentation, now HOWTO, only some vague guides that all end up with a non-existant or non-working camera.
Is there some movement to get this fixed before the ubuntu 24.04 release?
