Camera model
Raspi cam v2.1
What is the problem?
After I updated OctoPrint and/or a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, the camera doesn't work anymore. no streaming, no snapshots or whatsoever
What did you already try to solve it?
FIrst I tested with raspistill -o testshot.jpg if the camera still worked. It did. Then I read somewhere here that the OS could be out of sync with OctoPrint, which could be the reason why it wasn't working in OctoPrint anymore. So I resflashed the SD card latest available image from Raspberry Pi imager. So now I'm on Octopi 1.0.0 and Octoprint 1.8.7.
When I now try to shoot a test picture with raspistill I get the following:
mmal: Cannot read camera info, keeping the defaults for OV5647
mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1:ENOMEM)
mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1)
mmal: Failed to create camera component
mmal: main: Failed to create camera component
mmal: Camera is not detected. Please check carefully the camera module is installed correctly
testing with libcamera-still results in the following:
libcamera-still -n -e png -o test.png
[0:28:21.522750115] [2000] INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:299 libcamera v0.0.4+22-923f5d70
ERROR: *** no cameras available ***
I had to fumble a bit with the pi to get the SD card in and out, so I made sure the ribboncable was still properly seated.
Changed octopi.txt a few times to forced use all of the found video devices (see below in webcamd.log), and restarted webcamd but none worked. I got 2 different errors though in Webcamd.log

There should be no problems with USB (a.k.a. select() timeout)

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, ...)
OctoPi 1.0.0 and OctoPrint 1.8.7
** New Info **
I updated boot/config.txt. commented start_x=1 out and added camera_auto_detect=1
and then rebooted.
When I then run libcamera-hello --list-cameras, I get No cameras available!
