Any hints?
from the log it seems ur camera is not accessible to prey (camera not ready error). is some other app using camera module?
if not, can you run the following command as root and check if image is captured

/opt/prey/bin/takePhoto 1 /tmp/trial.jpg

i'm using a python/pyside script for geolocating. I'm not specifically setting any source, and the script uses the default positioning method of the platform. It was tested using GPRS and usbNet connection and was working fine. have you disabled GPS in the settings? if not can you run the following command and verify that the lat and long coordinates printed out are correct?
