Hi,

My camera stopped working. Apps using the camera under android are getting pictures fine, and other sailfish using the camera seem not to be able to get pictures either. So I expect this is a system issue. I tried stopping android VM ith killdroid app, reinstalling jolla-camera-settings package, but it changed nothing.

Any ideas ? Is there a pkcon command to ask reinstallation of all system packages ? I would like to avoid loosing my configuration with a Reset Device...

Here is a log I got with journalctl -fa when camera app starts:

I got an interesting log with csd tool, running «Front Camera» test.

Anybody knows what this « QCameraImageCapture error: "Camera not ready" » might be ?

Have you installed any gstreamer plugins from open repos?

Could you do: rpm -qa | grep gstreamer

And paste the output here?

MSameer ( 2014-09-08 21:15:49 +0200 )edit

I had installed openrepos packages that provide extra codec support to gstreamer, yes. I think I have removed all of them when trying to solve this issue.

$ rpm -qa |grep gstreamer
PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.8.9+46-1.17.1.armv7hl
gstreamer0.10-droidcamsrc-0.1.1-10.11.2.jolla.armv7hl
libgstreamer0.10-gralloc-0.1.0-10.7.2.jolla.armv7hl
gstreamer0.10-colorconv-0.0.20131121.0-10.1.3.jolla.armv7hl

gstreamer0.10-omx-0.1.0-10.8.8.jolla.armv7hl
gstreamer-0.10.36-1.1.3.armv7hl

Thank you for your help (if you’re still watching this thread 1 month later).

Remove gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg-extra-0.10.13-1.armv7hl

Then as nemo user execute: rm /home/nemo/.gstreamer-0.10/registry

MSameer ( 2014-10-05 00:16:41 +0200 )edit

I removed gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg-extra-0.10.13-1.armv7hl, rm /home/nemo/.gstreamer-0.10, rebooted, but I still get the bug :( And csd still reports the same "camera not ready" message…

Ok, after some effort, 

$ sudo zypper in -f gst-plugins-{good,bad,ugly}

then reboot, did the trick.

I post this as an answer in case somebody gets the same problem (thought I fear this was a random problem that could happen to any installed package…)

Hi,

it seems you are missing a plugin. I have no idea how that happened though. Have you executed some command while in developer mode or done any development on top of camera/GStreamer?

Plugin should not disappear by themselves... Not sure if @MSameer can help here...

I have been using dev. mode to access the device, yes (that’s the point of jolla, that I can be root on my own device).

I don’t think I removed any package from gstreamer initially installed, but might have done so by mistake.

Shouldn’t camera package depend on all plugins necessary for it to work, anyways ? That’s the point of dependencies…

vbregier ( 2014-10-04 23:51:53 +0200 )edit

I am facing the same problem in my phone but when i go into terminl and try to reinstall plugins, it says sudo and zypper commands are not found. What shud i do?

I have exactly the same issue. Perhaps caused by the combination of opt-in release and gPodder from OpenRepos.

But I just cannot get it working. I have re-installed the gstreamer good and bad, and reinstalled the gst-plugins-droidcamsrc, but nothing helps.

And along with that, none of the Android apps work aymore. What should I do?

Looking at the GitHub source of GsrDroidCamSrc, the following properties indeed do not exsist: 'scene-mode', 'noise-reduction', 'image-preview-supported-caps', 'image-capture-supported-caps', 'flicker-mode', 'exposure', 'colour-tone-mode', 'capabilities', 'aperture'

Perhaps these "critical" messages are not related? Or GidHub is out of date?

OK, now I know. My camera HW is probably broken. Even after factory reset it doesn't work :(

jourrnal gives something like "Cannot open camera device"

Hehe, I got it working!

The "critical" messages in the log was not an issue at all. I dropped my phone once from a low height, and seems that camera was displaced from it's connecting pins. So, "gently" putting pressure on the camera module from each side did the trick. Probably a bad HW design?

Command failed: Option 'update-system' is not supported

J4ZZ ( 2014-08-28 22:26:33 +0200 )edit

ow, we're missing one very basic linux option in that case... Edited that away, but I would like to see it as an option too

simo ( 2014-08-28 22:30:14 +0200 )edit

pkcon get-updates should do it instead. :)

J4ZZ ( 2014-08-29 19:29:26 +0200 )edit

I was looking for a way to reinstall (overwriting the files currently on the system) all the installed packages…

vbregier ( 2014-09-04 17:24:13 +0200 )edit

@vbregies How about just uninstalling those first with pkcon remove [packet-name] then?
