Can you post the output of dpkg -l millipixels along with ls /etc/sudoers.d/?

ii millipixels 0.18.0-1pureos2 arm64 GTK3 camera app for mobile using the V4L2 media request API
Info from “ls /etc/sudoers.d/:”
purism@librem5:~$ ls /etc/sudoers.d/
README
purism@librem5:~$
I don’t know what’s going on, but this might help:
sudo apt install --reinstall millipixels/byzantium
Just tried that, but I get the same functionality/lack of functionality as before. The focus slider doesn’t work if I launch the Camera app using the normal icon or from running millipixels in a fresh terminal. If I run a sudo command in a terminal and then immediately launch millipixels from that same terminal, the focus slider works (I assume because millipixels is able to use the “cached” sudo password or whatever sudo does with the password to not make you type it in every time within a certain time window).
Could you share your /var/log/dpkg.log ?
I tried just attaching that file, but it appears to not be a supported file to upload to this forum. Do you want ALL the contents of that file? It’s very large.
I think the last 100 lines will do:
tail -n 100 /var/log/dpkg.log
purism@librem5:~$ tail -n 100 /var/log/dpkg.log

The package isn’t shipping the sudo rule, see https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/debs/megapixels/-/merge_requests/13 - updated package forthcoming.

millipixels is updated and the focus slider is working when opening the camera app normally!

Hello, I come back to this thread as ùi try to install Calera dev but it crashes at strat. What is the good way to install it please ? (please be informed that my computing level is more or less sudo apt install).
Thank you !
Device info :
All kill switches on “ON” position
Privacy settings : camera enabled
OS : PureOS aarch64
Host : Purism Librem 5r4
kernel : 5.18.0-1-librem5
Desktop Environment : GNOME 3.38.6
I think all the switches being on disables the camera.
That makes no sense. Also, I just tested and confirmed the camera works with the 3 hardware switches on.
Sorry I read “on” as activated.

Yes, aside: Calling them “kill switches” fundamentally causes confusion about what being “on” means. Calling them “switches” avoids that confusion.
- Run “millipixels” from the terminal
- Send logs to https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/millipixels/-/issues/
You are right !
Following @dcz suggestion in gitlab which was the same as yours, solved my issue. Thank you very much !
