Linux drivers for Realtek IR camera
Hi, it seems Dell doesn't provide linux drivers for the Realtek infrared camera and so it is unusable in linux. Has anyone managed to make the IR camera work in linux?

Thank you for your message. What is the system model in question here?
Is the computer shipped with Linux or was this installed later?
For my reference, please click on the message tab next to your avatar– click “New Message” & search for my Dell username (Dell-Sreejith R) & send a private message with the service tag, registered name & email address.

However if you are facing issues you can get more troubleshooting advice on the Ubuntu via and for any further software support on Ubuntu contact Canonical through the following methods:
