The program doesn`t detect the camera - blag0rag - 02-11-2024
Hello, I have a Pinephone with Mobian. Although megapixel works in it, no other program tells me the camera. I have tried "Camera", "Authenticator" or "Decoder", and I can't get it. Could someone help me get them to work?
Thanks a lot

Hello
Do you use Mobian Bookwork or Trixie?
The last time I tried to use Jitsi Meet online, it didn't work and it seemed that there were no easy solutions.

If your kernel is reasonably recent, applications that work with libcamera should work (sorta… the video will likely end up rotated, but at least you get video), assuming libcamera is installed to begin with. But many applications still do not work properly with the libcamera stack (e.g., because they use v4l2 directly, or they use GStreamer but hardcode the v4l2 source there). Those that use the highest-level abstraction (Pipewire) should just work, but that is a very new API, so not many applications are ported to it yet. GStreamer applications may or may not work depending on what assumptions they make.
But if you use an ancient kernel like the Mobian stable (bookworm) one, chances are libcamera will not work at all.
