Camera - black viewfinder...
 

In the last few days I used camera a lot and sometimes the viewfinder became black.
Already tried :
killall jolla-camera
systemctl-user restart booster-silica-qt5.service
restart of lipstik.service

Nothing helps to restore camera to work again except reboot :(
Anybody know which process we can restart to get camera back without reboot ?
Thanks

I don't have any solution, but I've encountered the same problem. Do you know if there's together-item for this bug?

Re: Camera - black viewfinder...
 

try killing mm-qcamera-daemon

it might or might not work. Please report it on together too

Re: Camera - black viewfinder...
 

I not reported on together..

Re: Camera - black viewfinder...
 

thanks, will try in the next time when it will happens.

Re: Camera - black viewfinder...
 

I'll just add I also had this happen in the last few days.
Will try the workaround next time it shows up and report back.

Re: Camera - black viewfinder...
 

ok, it happened again. and killall mm-qcamera-daemon not helped...
if you run: find / -name "*camera*"
in the long list you can see this servise: /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.jolla.camera.service
I wanted to try to restart it, but dont know how..

Re: Camera - black viewfinder...
 

Ahhh.. Ok, thanks :) Will try again...

Re: Camera - black viewfinder...
 

Yesterday it happened to me again...
And I remembered to try this command:
But no results like before.... Also tried different services restart (lipstick etc..), but also without result :(
Only reboot helps in that situation....
What strange, that the camera continued working on android app, for example whatsapp...
