Raspberry Pi 3 Camera module not working anymore on bullseye (used to work on buster)

Hello, Is someone aware of an issue targeting this model of camera ? An article seems to indicate a compatibility issue but it sounds strange https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi-bullseye-camera-commands/ How can I diagnose this compability issue ? I have:

% libcamera-hello
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
Made X/EGL preview window
[0:01:57.813732765] [1621]  INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:297 libcamera v0.0.5+83-bde9b04f
ERROR:  no cameras available

Plus

dmesg |grep -i imx
dmesg |grep -i camera

Doesn't return anything.

ok try taking it out, cleaning it and putting it back in

k9t33n

then run

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo reboot now

what would be the command that would indicate it's compatible or uncompatible ?

I have found an old sd card with a buster version of raspbian. I have activated the camera module in raspi-config. I rubbed the metal pins of the camera against my clothes. I plugged it again, rebooted. The command vcgencmd get_camera returns supported=0 detected=0 🤔

k9t33n

did you run this?

jbbqqf

I just did.

jbbqqf

% cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free rpi

Note that this SD card has been flashed a few years ago with others. Some of them are in use and support the same model of camera that is currently plugged in. The raspberry pi 3 that is powering everything is also part of a series that I purchased a while ago. Some of that series are in use.

Ideally I would like to make the camera work with the same pi 3 on a fresher version of raspbian (bullseye). I can also live with old buster raspbian distributions. The issue I'm having is managing to diagnose what's wrong with that old hardware 😐

I just noticed that now the raspi-config command > Interface Option displays the line "Legacy Camera". Before running apt upgrade "legacy" wasn't part of the label

you might need to upgrade your linux

Can you be more precise ? Bullseye ?
