![]() ![]() ![]() If you don’t, it starts a complete internet recovery ((almost?) restore factory defaults). If you have a OS X recovery partition, this is a recovery wizard (restore from time machine, reinstall OS X, disk utility). Hold cmd+R while starting to start a recovery.Hold ctrl while selecting a boot device (choose your EFI partition) to permanently boot from that one.Hold alt while booting to display the startup manager (you can select your boot device here).I thus gathered information and installed Arch on a MacBook: Some boot keycodes You can test it on any website that requires a webcam, such as .So my grad school gave me a free MacBook Pro 9.2, but I am a die-hard Linux fanboy. Modprobe facetimehd # load the facetimehd module again echo "blacklist bdc_pci\ninstall bdc_pci /bin/false" > /etc/modprobe.d/nf Modprobe -r bdc_pci # remove disturbing kernel module # make sure that the disturbing kernel module is blacklisted # and cannot be loaded as a dependency of another module. This can be done by running the following commands: modprobe -r facetimehd # temporary remove facetimehd module If the output is instead No /dev/video0 device, then make sure to unload the kernel module bdc_pci as described in the wiki. If everything worked out, the output should be: Apple Facetime HD (PCI:0000:02:00.0): You can test if the video source has been identified correctly by executing v4l2-ctl -list-devices. Then let's get the driver and install it from AUR: $ yay -S bcwc-pcie-gitĪfter the installation we need to load the kernel module: $ modprobe facetimehd If the headers are missing, make sure to install them: $ yay -S linux-headers # select the headers that are missing I use yay to install packages from AUR which I can highly recommend and which I will use in this article.įirst let's get information about all installed kernels and see if the headers are installed for all of them: $ pacman -Q | grep -E 'linux+' # see which kernels are installedįor each installed linux kernel there should be a -headers file next to it, e.g. The code is in the Arch User Repository (AUR). It requires a driver that is not part of the official kernel but must be installed separately. Unfortunately one thing that did not work out-of-the-box is the webcam. Kudos to the Arch and Manjaro teams for their great work! I was astonished how many things just worked out-of-the-box. ![]()
