I have also found that megapixels is not working with the 5.10 kernel - are others having the same issue?

Just updated, can confirm: ...

Yup - plenty problems with megapixels. Had a few more updates a couple of hours ago but as I write megapixels has variously black screen, hangs, wont swap between front/back etc.

Just updated to the 5.10.6+sunxi64-2 kernel, megapixels is functional again. Thanks @a-wai!

Good spot, my thanks too @a-wai et al.

(Also pleased I avoided a post about 5.10.4 that was in the wild this morning; one day when we can laugh think it may be one of those repeatable anecdotes!?)

Yeah, great work!
Pinephone get more and more functional with every update!

So, i'd just like to confirm:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

Everything worked out o.k., no trouble with the space limit of /boot here...

Cheers,

Megapixels eventually also worked for me after installing latest kernel updates.

I also had to

Code:

sudo apt purge megapixels
sudo apt install megapixels

to get it to not hang when taking images.
