I have referenced the thread at: MacBook Pro camera not working on Ubuntu 18.04
It lists the following steps:
$ 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
I had the camera working, but forgot what I did. After an update, the camera stopped working.
I just followed the above steps except for the sudo install didn't work, so I did sudo make install.
I am now getting the following error when I try to sudo modprobe facetimehd
wayne@MacBookUbuntu:~/Downloads/bcwc_pcie$ sudo modprobe facetimehd
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'facetimehd': Exec format error
Also, is there a way to make the change permanent once fixed.

Update: It works. Apparently all the steps above work if you substitute sudo make install for sudo install. I rebooted and did a fresh download and the steps worked. I had been trying to save myself a step by using the old download.
