Spent all night trying to figure out why my USB camera wasn’t displaying. On a fresh MainsailOS install from raspberry pi flasher I reviewed the logs and found crowsnest had various errors. I reviewed logs and found various crowsnest errors, particularly pointing to the install failing.

I executed the install script for crowsnest manually and everything went back to up and running normally.

Soy ou want to report a bug with MainsailOS? Then please choose the MainsailOS tag next time.

#

We are already aware of that issue and I posted the commands to fix it already a lot of times

#

There is a warning shown in the bell icon with that you can find the issue, but I guess you just dismissed this warning, like a lot of other people for some reason. Just a random overall rant, as I'm wondering why a lot of people just dismiss the warnings.

#

Anyway, this will be fixed with the next MainsailOS release but we don't have a date for that yet.

#

This bug only appears if you rename your user.
The commands to fix it would be

rm -rf ~/crowsnest/tools/pkglist.sh
ln -sf ~/crowsnest/tools/libs/pkglist-rpi.sh ~/crowsnest/tools/pkglist.sh
```and then just fix the log_path inside the crowsnest.conf
