I can't get Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 running on RPi 5/bookworm. What I did: - Test the camera on a RPi 4 /bullseye -> working - Fresh installation of Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)/bookworm on RPi 5 - Running sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y.
cs@rpi5:~/prg/libcamera $ libcamera-hello --list-cameras
ERROR:  no cameras available 
Also there is no option under raspi-config -> Interface Options for camera I also set in /boot/firmware/config.txt camera_auto_detect=0 and at the very end after [all] dtoverlay=imx708. Also I tried several combinations with and without these options. Here is my system information https://pastebin.com/XFUrHTZc

why do you have a backtick before libcamera? just run libcamera-hello -t -0

Just a copy paste thing. Here is my actual output
cs@rpi5:~ $ libcamera-hello -t -0

try take it out, clean it with isopropyl alcohol and put it back in with the blue facing the usb and ethernet

christoph6732

I cleaned my brandnew cable, prepared a sd with imager, didn't change anything and connected the cables so the contacts on cam and RPi are showing towards the white part of the connector. Still "No cameras available!"

try face it the other way then

justaccsolol

have you tried in the other port? just wondering

christoph6732

I tried both ports also tested the camera on RPi4 where it is working. On RPi5 I use the Raspi Standard Cable 500 mm https://www.rasppishop.de/Raspberry-Pi-5-Display-Kabel-Standard-Mini-500mm

Long story short: I used a display cable instead a camera cable. <:kekw:1096152716578934924>

oh

christoph6732

I got the right cabel and my camera is working now. I'm running octoprint in a docker container but there I can't see the camera. Via ssh v4l2-ctl --list-devices --all gives a lot of video devices but I don't know which is the right one.

Also I can't open any video device in VLC

After days with this guide [How to Control your Raspberry Pi Camera using a web UI](https://www.tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi/how-to-control-your-raspberry-pi-camera-using-a-web-ui) I got a working interface for interacting with Pi Camera Modul V3 on RPi 5. Very, very happy! 😜
