slow to open camera on ubuntu noble

[josephlbarnett]

Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible, including any errors and traces. If your issue is a camera issue, be sure to also post the image generated by running sudo howdy snapshot.

Since upgrading to ubuntu noble, when invoking howdy, sometimes the camera starts immediately but more often it takes a few seconds. when it's slow, it outputs this message:

** (gst-plugin-scanner:960261): CRITICAL **: 17:35:07.419: _dma_fmt_to_dma_drm_fmts: assertion 'fmt != GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_UNKNOWN' failed

possibly not a howdy issue per-se but not sure which package to dig deeper into?
