Howdy,
I recently updated my librem 5 to run kernel 5.15.9pureos1, and other packages (install millipixels, and remove megapixels for example). However, after the reboot, millipixels doesn’t seem to see the camera, giving “Selected camera is not available. Is it turned on?”
Digging more I found that uname lists 5.13. Now I understand that doesn’t show the current kernel version on a librem 5. However, based on prior kernels it seemed the that uname kept the first two numbers but not the last. So could it still be trying to boot the old kernel?
I do see linux-image-5.15.0-1-librem5 at 5.15.9pureos1 and is installed.
Yes, the camera switch is in the on position and the gui shows that they it is not disabled.
Same problem here. Apparently the system is up to date but: uname -a: Linux pureos 5.13.0-1-librem5 apt list linux-image-librem5: byzantium 5.15.9pureos1 arm64
and the /boot folder contains:
Thank you. New kernel is running now. Something must have gone wrong during my previous update process … is, for some reason, sudo reboot different from a simple restart from GUI?
I’m accustomed to sudo reboot therefore cannot compare, but something else like to share (find out) here: when you’d like to turn off your Librem 5 for some longer time (even overnight) please execute: sudo shutdown -hF now, as this command might make difference in preserving BPP-L503, Evergreen one, battery life significantly (hopefully). Would like to hear about your finding (if you have time for this, here related shutdown, test/testing proposal), please.
Sure, I’ll make some test, but honestly my battery doesn’t discharge much overnight, if that’s what you mean, 1-2% I guess. I need to pay more attention to this. I’ll let you know.
@steve and @fiacco, yesterday I was doing some cleaning (making some more space) on my laptop and in parallel came up with this one (please take a look if old Linux Kernel still there): sudo dpkg --list | grep linux-image sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-5.13.0-1-librem5 uname -mrso
After switching to selfie and back to the main camera it works. Did not thought to check the selfie. Once I checked the selfie worked and back to the main it works. Maybe something was set wrong from the previous megapixels and needed the toggle.
I did many tests. I didn’t notice any differences on battery life, both sudo shutdown and Power Off (GUI) lead to a loss of charge around 1% in 9 hours. They are the same.
Many thanks! 1% … is indeed not much … Meaning, even to boot up a Linux system again Librem 5 battery needs to release some of its well stored “juice”.
