Some Suspense.... Camerra App - biketool - 09-27-2024
Ran updates today and noticed that there were system updates as well as the camera app, I am running Trixie on a Pinephone Pro.
Clicked the camera app just to see and unlike usual it asked me to authorize camera use, had a moment of hope before it prompted that there were no cameras found in the system.
Is there any tracking I could look at on the work being done to bring the PPP cameras front and back to use in Mobian Trixie? Searching the Mobian wiki doesn't seem to help me. It also doesn't lead me the the hacks I see mentioned to trick the system into using the cameras on the PPP.

IIRC the cameras don't work in the base Camera app on pretty much all distros. Instead you'll want to use the megapixels app

It shall be noted that you need a dedicated branch or fork of Megapixels such as the one that tophneal linked to above. The official Megapixels will only support the PinePhone Pro when version 2 gets released.

Currently un-hacked megapixels doesn't find either PPP camera in Mobian Trixie. Fails with a can't find pinphonepro.conf error.
