Latest system update to Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) caused my webcams to stop working.

📎 crowsnest.log
#

I believe the latest update did something with python3 (that is what I saw briefly output to the screen during the update).

You are not the only one with the problem. I will look into it tomorrow

#

But I don't think it's python, as camera-streamer doesn't use python afaik and the error shows a libcamera file.

#

Seems like a recompile of camera-streamer could fix it. Try out:

cd ~/crowsnest/bin/camera-streamer
make clean
sudo make install
sudo reboot
```Didn't test it out yet, so if there are errors in this command, please forgive me
#

@fathom forge let us continue in this thread about the error, as I will post Something unrelated to this error there. The solution can be found above

#

ok

#

I will try it out now

#

it works

#

but it looks like you have to reboot after recompiling of camera-streamer

strong yarrow
#

I think restarting crowsnest should be enough

fathom forge
#

crowsnest goes unresponsive

#

after recompiling

#

Ok, good to know. ty for testing 😄

@sly token Please just read your error and don't post in random threads, if your error obviously doesn't have to do anything with this error. If you don't want to reflash your system, because Debian 10 (buster) has reached end of life., then you should have a look at https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/use-legacy-on-buster After you changed that things mentioned on the site, you should run cd ~/crowsnest && sudo make install

If you read the error of the post (inside the log), it's a complete different error as in your log. So please compare them next time, before trying some things, someone posted, as some special things could break your installation.
Your error comes from an crowsnest update that dropped buster support (v3->v4). The error of this post comes from a normal apt update && apt upgrade as one package had an update and broke the self-compiled versions of the new backend of v4
