This is the type of webcam used in recent laptops like the Dell XPS series, which only worked ootb with Windows and Ubuntu. This should mean it will be easier to guarantee webcam support across Linux distros again, soon!
Does anyone have hands on a laptop with a Copilot key? If so, what actual keycode does it emit? Apparently Super+C is the standard shortcut for Copilot on Windows 11, so I would not be surprised if the key just emits that like the "Presentation mode" keys emitting Super+P…
(I could help you figure this out in a Linux install, but I have no idea how to investigate it in Windows)
Love to lose half my working day because my laptop decided to corrupt its own BIOS. Again.
This is the second or third time I’ve had this issue on the Dell XPS 9310, and it’s a huge pain every time. Their forums and support site are full of incomplete information, wrong information, and steps that seem more like a seance than documentation. It seems to be triggered when the battery is low, but I’m not 100% sure.
Here’s how I recovered it, in case anyone else has this laptop and hits the issue…
I had to do this yet again, so I’ve documented these steps in a blog post—along with the near-superstitious-level tips that I’ve learned along the way.
The next time your Dell XPS laptop won’t boot, give this a try and let me know if it works?
