    So can you not do manual updates? Like the issue I had with RoboLCD?

    The button is part of the Robo theme and has been "hacked in" pretty awfully a couple of versions ago, nothing to do with Octoprint itself.

    Not sure if anyone will see this. I am having an issue with my camera. Octoprint wouldn't view my camera, I went and made sure that it was enabled. It was off. When I try to turn on the camera it auto shuts off. Logged in via putty and did rasp-config and enabled camera there. To test it out I ran "raspistill -o cam.jpg".
    Result: "mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC
    mmal: camera component couldn't be enabled
    mmal: main: Failed to create camera component
    mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates"

    Printer says I'm running RoboOS 2.0.0-r2.6

    Should I "apt update"?

    It could be a bad connection on the rPi. make sure the camera cable is connected and attached squarely in its connector.

    There are no updates available from Robo beyond what you already have, please do not do an 'apt update', it will likely break the image completely.

    I checked the connection to the Pi seems to be fine. This problem started when my image crashed two days ago. I had to use an image that is posted somewhere on this forum. I've had to do that a few times in the months I've gotten the printer and never had a camera issue. It seems like every time I turn around something on the printer is dying:(

    That result is the browser's fault. Try using the newer browser called "brave" available at https://brave.com

    No need to yet. A couple of us pointed out that Firefox is not the best choice of browser for looking at the Octoprint webcam display. I threw in an alternative browser. Up to you as to which browser you wish to use.

    Well, I'm not OP. I found this topic via google. Technically my problem is different. My problem is the camera fails in the options menu on the actual printer. It also fails via putty.
