MacBook Pro camera not working on Ubuntu 18.04
I've tried the solution on this website https://medium.com/@racter/how-to-install-ubuntu-16-04-on-a-retina-macbook-11-2-74e7779c0e47:
$ cd /etc/local/src
$ git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git
$ cd bcwc_pcie/firmware
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..
$ sudo make
$ sudo install
$ sudo depmod
$ sudo modprobe -r bdc_pci
$ sudo modprobe facetimehd
However, I get the following error after the first sudo make.
Checking dependencies for driver download...
/usr/bin/xzcat
/bin/cpio
Makefile:34: recipe for target 'AppleCameraInterface' failed
make: *** [AppleCameraInterface] Error 1

Useless -N Makefileand see what line 34 references. Executesudo lshw(readman lshw) to see what the system thinks your camera is. BTW, Yoursudo installline is probably incorrect.

Use
less -N Makefile and see what line 34 references. Execute sudo lshw (read man lshw) to see what the system thinks your camera is. BTW, Your sudo install line is probably incorrect.– waltinator

Try installing curl. I also got the same problem and then I figured out that it is because curl is not installed default in Ubuntu 18.04.
sudo apt-get install curl
