Old 2007 Macbook built in webcam not working.

GuzziPhil

Hi.
I've successfully installed Solus Mate on a friends old Macbook.
Got the wifi working but struggling to make the isense webcam work.I found this old link but need help following these instructions using eopkg.

https://unlockforus.com/linux-mint-17-2-rafaela-on-macbook-41-late-2007-isight-webcam/

I've download the suggested driver ,AppleUSBVideoSupport, from the link, and extracted it to my downloads folder but my command line skills are poor.

The Macbook boots and runs very nicely with Solus after a bit more RAM was installed.

TLDR. Need help with eopkg to install AppleUSBVideoSupport driver from download folder.

Thanks

GuzziPhil I'm not understanding how to use eopkg commands.

Just give the command, sudo eopkg.--help and take a look at the output. You'll see every command that can be used. It's a great way to learn it quickly.

The links you have shared has solution applicable for Ubuntu and its derivatives like Mint. These modules may not be available in all distributions. Specially in a relatively new and independent distribution like Solus.
