megapixels - rvh - 03-27-2021
can someone tell me how to unintall and reinstall megapixels in terminal? using mobian
RE: megapixels - lsitongia - 03-27-2021
On my Mobian PinePhone, I see it listed as installed in the Software app, with a button to remove it. I haven't tried. Have you tried that and it fails in some way? I haven't tried installing it using the Software app, but it is listed as available. So, you should use the Software app to uninstall and reinstall it.

In terminal :
(remove app + config with --purge)
sudo apt remove --purge megapixels
(remove leftover dependencies)
sudo apt autoremove
(reinstall)
sudo apt install megapixels
or a oneliner just to remove and reinstall megapixels (you keep config and dependencies are not removed nor reinstalled - ie: they stay in place)
sudo apt-get -y remove megapixels && sudo apt-get -y install megapixels

if your a tech moron like myself and you decide to uninstall megapixels to see if a reinstall will get it working, dont do it. if you do you will need the excellent advise given above by bitsandnumbers. thanks by the way. i dont know if its just me or all mobian users, but the camera on my phone has never worked. when i loaded megapixels i got a blank screen and now it wont even open. is it just to early for the camera to work or is there something i can do to get it working?
RE: megapixels - bitsandnumbers - 03-28-2021
I've got not advice to help you make the camera to work (though I know I've seen your issue discussed before), but the camera is actually supposed to work - not *very* well right now, but it's getting there and post processed pictures are pretty decent.

In general it is working as well as can be expected at the moment for a basic sensor. Are you sure you haven't got it disabled on the DIP switches?
Otherwise check what you have in the systemlog: I have a 5.11 kernel but you should have something like
Code:
[ 16.973553] videodev: Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 17.152422] sun8i-rotate 1020000.rotate: Device registered as /dev/video0
[ 17.172874] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Device registered as /dev/video1
[ 17.384239] sun8i-di 1e00000.deinterlace: Device registered as /dev/video2Last, check this thread for more on the travails of megapixels and a current defect in the postprocessing.

Do you get a preview in megapixels when you start it? When you switch between front and back camera in the app, does that work?
RE: megapixels - rvh - 03-29-2021
right now, the camera wont even open.
RE: megapixels - rvh - 04-01-2021
i reinstalled megapixels and now have the back facing camera working only the pics are just vertical lines. the front facing camera wont open.
