RPi Camera command not found

[gintasd]

Hello,
I need some help, please,

This evening did an RPi update just by pushing "Update" Icon.
After update and reboot Allsky shows "RPi Camera command not found".
Camera is RPi HQ
I have tried at raspberry "libcamera-hello" - it does not find such command.
But "rpicam-hello" works as expected and I can see camera video - it works.

The applications seems to be recent:
rpicam-apps is already the newest version (1.8.1-1~bookworm).
libcamera-tools is already the newest version (0.5.1+rpt20250722-1).
libcamera-ipa is already the newest version (0.5.1+rpt20250722-1).
libcamera-ipa set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

A couple years ago the RPi developers came out with an update and called the updated commands rpicam-still but left the old name of libcamera-still . They suggested people start using the new names so we updated Allsky to use rpicam-still still if it existed, otherwise use libcamera-still. They said the old names would go away "sometime in the future". Apparently we are now in the future.

Allsky should use the rpicam-still command so I don't know why it's not. Please run

rpicam-still  --list-cameras

to make sure it is working.
If it shows your camera, run allsky-config and select the option to show the connected cameras.
If that works, run:

sudo systemctl stop allsky 
> /var/log/allsky.log 
sudo systemctl start allsky 

After a minute, attach /var/log/allsky.log.

Hello Eric,
How do I run allsky-config?
In terminal it returns command not found.

rpicam-still --list-cameras

Hello Eric,

A fresh allsky log attached, as well last part of yesterday log when Allsky has stopped.

allsky.log
allsky.log.1.txt

By the way, I have Pi4 with 4GB
Maybe 4GB is too less and I should go back to Bullseye instead of Bookworm?

@gintasd, you need to upgrade to the newest Allsky to fix the problem with the camera not found.
I just checked the code - it only looks for libcamera-still which no longer exists. Newer versions of Allsky look for rpicam-still and libcamera-still.
If you don't know how to upgrade, see the Installation -> Allsky Documentation page in the WebUI.

A Pi 4 with 4 GB memory is fine. And you want to stay on Bookworm.

Hello Eric,

Thanks,
Have updated Allsky main Rpi with newer version.
Basically have it running, do not have current picture in local web, but have in remote web.

Ok, I will deal with it.

I have from older version such errror "ERROR: Field 'RPi HQ' is outside of the image" - do not get what is it for?

@gintasd, Gintautas,
That's good news!

The "outside of the image" message means that field is positioned so it won't appear on the image. For example, if your sensor is 3040 pixels wide, that field may be at 4000 pixels.
If you go to the Overlay Editor it should offer to fix the problem. It will put the field in the center of the image and you can move as desired.

do not have current picture in local web, but have in remote web.

Can you explain more? When you go to the local Allsky Website you don't see the current image, but you DO see it on a remote Allsky Website?

Hello Eric,

All is OK, thank you for pointing to "outside of the image" fix.
For a local website i did change the image name and did not change it where ti has to be changed.
Now it is fine.
With remote website it is OK as well. I just run Meteo and remote Alsky on one RPi so had to modify links for the new Allsky web.
All works now.

One, last thing.
In old Index.php there was a section for slideInLeft, where I was able to add a link and icon to my Meteo station web:

In an new I cannot find where I could insert it.
