Error - megapixels not opening

[Anna]

Unfortunately,

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure megapixels

did not do the trick on my phone.

Going

Code:

sudo apt purge megapixels

and reinstalling from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/megapixels/ did not work either; simply because I lacked the skills or a step by step guide, so I only got error messages.

So I did not know anything better than to

Code:

sudo apt install megapixels

What should I say? It works again.

I did no changes on mine, it sometimes works sometimes not.

I have it working again, but it locks up if it decodes a QR code.

I have it working again, but it locks up if it decodes a QR code.

It should work anew with the next minor version of GTK (4.6.2).

It should work anew with the next minor version of GTK (4.6.2).

Any idea when that GTK update will be coming down the wire? I just updated my Mobian installation and Megapixels is still screwed up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it does run, a QR code will crash it.  I very rarely use the camera but have found it useful on a couple of occasions so it would be nice for this to work again.

Attempting to run megapixels from the command line yields the following:

Code:

Gdk-WARNING **: 14:24:24.823: gdk_gl_context_set_required_version - GL context versions less than 3.2 are not supported.

Thanks, I'll run an update and see how it works out!

Results: Did the update but no joy, Megapixels still crashes on the same error. Same after running apt purge megapixels followed by apt install megapixels.

---

Another update: Taking a hint from a previous post here I ran dkpg-reconfigure megapixels and now it works, including recognizing QR codes and offering to launch a web browser if it contains a URL.

just a note :
In the early Mobian days it was mentioned they 'May eventually return to "Pin Hole" as their camera app'
