Today, the camera suddenly stopped working: black window and no shutter button. Both front & rear cameras. So I tried several workarounds, like pkcon refresh jolla-camera, uninstall/reinstall jolla-camera, version --dup, etc. without success. Always black window. I was afraid of a hardware failure.

As I was still running v2.0.4.14 Fiskarsinjoki, I eventually upgraded to v2.0.5.6 Haapajoki (I was actually planning to skip Haapajoki, as v2.1.0.9 Iijoki is coming soon).

The camera is OK now, but I have no idea of what happened. Any hint?

Happens to me from time to time, btrfs seems to be causing my problems, fixed after balance and reboot. Sometimes even without reboot. Only works on original phone as btrfs isn't used on Jolla C or Aqua Fish

Before I fixed the issue by OS upgrading, I tried btrfs balance plus reboot. Without success.
