Dear Mainsail Dev -Team,
I have a problem with the webcam on my rasberry pi zero w. In the settings menu the webcam and its stream is shown, however on the dashboard configuration the icon to add the webcam is missing.
#Camera cannot be shown on Dashboard

Hey there... please share your mainsail + moonraker version
ember wagon
i'm not sure but i think: 0.8.0-35
i dont know how to update the moonraker file
It says on the update manager, that it ist korrupt. But i cant change it
worn thistle
button left is a info icon. when you hover over it, it shows your version information
but the corrupted moonraker and the low moonraker version hints you're using a creality printer or something like that?
there was a rework of the camera settings and now mainsail requires a min version of moonraker 0.8.0-38. Also there should be an notification in the upper right corner.
ember wagon
yes i am using an creatlity cr 10
And i think my moonraker version ist to old
But how can i update it?
worn thistle
usually you can simply use the update manager on the machine site but...
unfortunately you're repo is corrupted because of creality and you can't do that.
not really sure about this printer right know but did you get it stock with klipper preinstalled?
ember wagon
i bought it from ebay. And the person before me installed klipper i think
this is my message
worn thistle
octoeverywhere is a remote tool to access your printer.
ember wagon
yes, but i dont use it anymore
But i think i didnt removed it properly
worn thistle
you still have still the include in your printer cfg somewhere
ember wagon
do you know where
worn thistle
go to the machien site and open your printer.cfg and check for [include octoeverywhere-system.cfg]
ember wagon
is not there
worn thistle
oh wait... check the moonraker.conf too. never used it my self so maybe its there
worn thistle
no idea whats inside the webcam cfg.
if its a used printer i would recommend to start over with a clean install.
ember wagon
and if i remove the octo line?
worn thistle
has nothing to do with your broken moonraker
final granite
should i replace it with the webcam cfg
What exactly do you plan to replace with webcam.cfg? webcam.cfg is an old outdated way to get webcam streams, BUT your problem is an old moonraker version atm.
I'm pretty sure that the CR 10 doesn't have Klipper from stock. So as rick already said. You should start with a clean installation
ember wagon
it worked before withe the camera
But one day the camera was gone
final granite
One day after you updated Mainsail....
worn thistle
most likly you did a mainsail update. but you did not provide the mainsail version number as requested
ember wagon
mainsail is v-2.8.0
worn thistle
yeah thats the most recent version.
so you did an update
honestly running a used printer with an installed octoeverywhere is a big security concern for me.
do a fresh install and you can fix all you issues.
ember wagon
ok
Do i have to save any of the cfg. like the printer one?
worn thistle
you don't really have to. you can and should create new configs. saving them to peek for some specific stuff is ok though
ember wagon
ok
ember wagon
you don't really have to. you can and should create new configs. saving them to ...
i wanted to do a fresh install, but after i installed mainsail on my sd Card i can't open the website throgh the link or the ip adress
ember wagon

The Raspbarry pi ios shown in my wifi, but i cannt reach it
final granite
Try to connect to http://<ip.of.your.pi>:7125 in your browser
ember wagon
doesnt work
ember wagon
ssh: connect to host 192.168.28.18 port 22: Connection timed out
ember wagon
What OS did you use?
what do you mean with that ? 🙂
final granite
Raspberry Pi OS lite? MainsailOS? FluiddPi? Raspberry Pi OS lite (legacy)?
final granite
Mainsail != MainsailOS
So what exactly is your setup now? A fresh install with a MainsailOS?
If it's MainsailOS it can take up to 10-15min until you can connect
ember wagon
I deleted everything on my SD card and then followed the instruction
So I installed mainsailos 32 bit on my raspberry pi zero W
final granite
Overall we don't recommend a Pi zero w, just fyi
It's simply not that powerful and could lead to timeouts.
final granite
I deleted everything on my SD card and then followed the instruction
So I insta...
Then just wait a while. On a pi zero w it could take a bit longer maybe 🤷♂️
ember wagon

I know, but it worked without problems
final granite
Just wanted to be sure as I had myself struggles with that in the past sometimes.
ember wagon
still a time out
final granite
But it's shown inside your router as connected?
ember wagon
yes
final granite
Do you maybe have hdmi cable that fits into the pi with that you can connect it to a monitor?
ember wagon
No
final granite
Another pi maybe?
We need some kind of video output to see what's going on. Otherwise, you can only reflash and hope that it will work again
final granite
No, it wants the username and password you chose in the imager
if you didn't choose anything, the default username and password should be pi and raspberry
ember wagon
should i insert the password or the usewrname
final granite
should i insert the password or the usewrname
First the username and then it asks for the password
ember wagon
if you didn't choose anything, the default username and password should be `pi` ...
i changed something in the imager, but got the informaition
I can only do it tomorrow, because I don't got a prober keyboard
Sry. But thanks for the help so far.
ember wagon
I think i got in now @final granite
i logged in my raspberry pi, what should i do next?
final granite
Run ifconfig and send a picture of it
Now go onto your PC and open a terminal/powershell/cmd.
Run there ping 192.168.28.18
Wait, did you ever try to connect with ssh?
I never asked for that ^^
ember wagon
yes
ember wagon
yes it says conectioon timed out port 22
final granite
Run ipconfig
ember wagon
on my pc?
final granite
Yes
ember wagon
or the raspberry
final granite
PC
final granite
Fyi I'm from germany and can read german 😄
ember wagon
Fyi I'm from germany and can read german 😄
können wir dann auch auf deutsch schreiben? 🙂
final granite
Nope, this server is english, so we will stay in english, sry
ember wagon
ok
final granite
It's that other people can follow this and maybe find a solution later
ember wagon
ok, where do i find the output?
final granite
Did you run it in a terminal?
ember wagon
no, cmd
final granite
Do you mean the run dialog or actual cmd? Then the output should be inside the cmd
You can delete it again
I'm not sure about the ipv6 address, so better is to delete it ^^
The ipv4 address was in the 192.168.0.xx subspace. That is different to your Pi. So your ethernet cannot connect to your wifi
Try to connect to http://192.168.28.18 on your smartphone
final granite
What was the ip of your pi then?
ember wagon
Try to connect to http://192.168.28.18 on your smartphone
this onme
final granite
Hm, okay
final granite
Can you run systemctl status moonraker on the pi real quick?
So overall the networking should be fine.
ember wagon
i could try to install it new for the third time
But i dont know, if iot changes anything
final granite
Tbh, I don't know too 🤷♂️
If it doesn't work after a fresh install, I would ping our Linux guru, maybe he got an idea
ember wagon
maby i did something wrong at the inatll. But i dont know what it could be. Because i followed the instruction
maby i found my error 🙂
It is possible that i booted with the raspberry pi zerro software
But i could be, that i got an zero 2
final granite
Normally there shouldn't be any difference
You have to make sure that ssh is activated and a different user and password should be chosen too.
ember wagon
yes
I am installing it again now
And then try again
final granite
Let me guess, you don't have your printer.cfg restored?
ember wagon
Let me guess, you don't have your printer.cfg restored?
i am updating at the moment
ember wagon
Let me guess, you don't have your printer.cfg restored?
how do i do this?
the printer.conf is missing in the mashine
final granite
how do i do this?
Did you save it before resetting the sdcard?
Oh wait, you were the one who bought the printer off of ebay. I hope you saved it that you can create a new one more easily.
Like rick already said before, you shouldn't use the old one
ember wagon
i saved the old one
final granite
Good, then create a new printer.cfg on the machine page and start by adding:
[include mainsail.cfg] at the top of the file.
Then you can hit save & restart and it will show you what section you are missing.
Explanation to those sections can be found here: https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html
You can also have a look at the old file to see what the previous owner defined in those sections. Those values can be used for the most part
It's a long process, but this assures that you at least understand a little bit of what's going on with your printer
ember wagon
ok thanks
the include didnt work
there is only the line with [include mainsail.cfg]
i've got this error
final granite
That's why I send you the link and said, you should look into the link old config
That include doesn't automagically solves all your problems, just a few minor things
ember wagon
but where do i find what is missing
final granite
It's missing hte option serial in section mcu
So inside the section mcu, maybe not defined yet, you need to add serial
The value of serial is describer under that link or you can just take the one from the old config
ember wagon
but the printer cf. is empty
i dont know where to find the mcu.
Du i have to insert it myself?
final granite
Like I said
maybe not defined yet
So yes, just add it yourself
Also your file should have already [include mainsail.cfg] at the top of the file
ember wagon
Also your file should have already `[include mainsail.cfg]` at the top of the fi...
yes
final granite
but the printer cf. is empty
I was just wondering about that statement
final granite
[probe] or [bltouch] and [bed_mesh] are the things you are searching for
ember wagon
found it
ember wagon
hey,
i set up my printer
And now i dont get an image through my webcam
But the light on the cam is on
Do you now, if there is a way to see if its a software or a hardware error
final granite
Did you use MainsailOS and renamed your user?
final granite
Send your crowsnest.log
If there is no log, run systemctl status crowsnest via ssh
ember wagon
my password wasnt working and now the permission is dnied. is there a way to get around it?
final granite
Afaik yes, but I never done it and you need to figure it out yourself.
Just fyi, I'm a bit sick and still got other stuff to do too
Can you still login on the pi directly? If yes, you might have accidentally set a ssh key?
final granite
On ssh or just on the pi?
ember wagon
final granite
Ok, it's a renamed user
That bug will be fixed in the future
Run:
rm -rf ~/crowsnest/tools/pkglist.sh
ln -sf ~/crowsnest/tools/libs/pkglist-rpi.sh ~/crowsnest/tools/pkglist.sh
```and then fix the log_path inside the crowsnest.confon ssh right?
final granite
yes
ember wagon
all three lines at the same time or one after a nother
final granite
That are two lines and it doesn't matter
ember wagon
can i do this, while its printing
Im doing some calibration at the moment. but can stop at any tiomer
final granite
You can do it
ember wagon
this doesnt do anything
final granite
It did something
It just don't output anything
Sometimes it only outputs if it fails
ember wagon
ok
final granite
That just deleted a file that was wrong
ember wagon
are the ln and the ~/crowsnest line one?
final granite
Yes
ember wagon
final granite
You typoed twice
You forgot a / in the first path and typoed crowsnest in the second
A small tip, use copy and paste
ember wagon
this doesnt wokr for no reason
final granite
The pasting? Try right click
ember wagon
ok did it
ember wagon
Run:
```sh
rm -rf ~/crowsnest/tools/pkglist.sh
ln -sf ~/crowsnest/tools/libs/pkg...
to what dio i change the log path?
final granite
Currently it's directing to /home/pi/... but your user isn't pi, so change the pi to your user
final granite
Nope, just crowsnest
If that doesn't work, I recommend a full pi reboot, as I always forget the command to reset the restart timer
ember wagon
now my cmplete printerconf is empty
can i reload a saved config?
final granite
How did it get empty? If you hit save earlier, it should have been saved
ember wagon
yes
final granite
On the machine page it should show you all files
If there is no printer.cfg with content, then I don't know what you did
ember wagon
i am not sure
But i reloaded a saved printer cfg from 4 minutes ago and now its running again
final granite
¯_(ツ)_/¯
ember wagon
now i got this
final granite
Now follow this: https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/how-to-setup-a-raspicam
ember wagon
now its this
an my croesnet cnf is the same, as the image shown (accept the quality)
final granite
Let me guess you have an OV5647?
ember wagon
yes
final granite
Was it pretty cheap?
final granite
less than 15€
ember wagon
yeah that i possible
final granite
Most likely a fake v1 then, so please follow this now: https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/how-to-setup-a-raspicam#ov5647-and-or-klipperscreen
ember wagon
less than 15€
excatly 15 € 🙂
final granite
You can send a picture of it, if you want me to confirm it xD
The second one is a genuine one and the first one are fakes
You can distinguish it with the print on the cable.
If it's a genuine one I most likely know the problem xD
I forgot about that for a second
I need a log for that to confirm
*crowsnest.log
ember wagon
final granite
Ok, send a crowsnest.log real quick
ember wagon
final granite
Are you still doing tests or something like that??
ember wagon
no
final granite
Then run cd ~/crowsnest && make update on ssh
That can take some time
Wait
You have to stop Moonraker and Klipper first
sudo systemctl stop klipper
sudo systemctl stop moonraker
sudo systemctl stop crowsnest
cd ~/crowsnest
make update
Run those commands and then it will hopefully compile all the way through
