Can I Use Picamera With This Version Of Ubuntu On A Raspberry Pi 2 Model B?

I used to use the picamera Python module, along with a Raspberry Pi Camera on Raspbian OS on my Raspberry Pi Model B. Now I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B.

Solution 1:

According to a post postby fo0bar » Fri Feb 27, 2015 3:49 am the userland firmware comes prebuilt via a PPA, the availability of the firmware is also stated at wiki.ubuntu.com. I dont have an rpi2 with ubuntu, but i would assume the PPA is already in your /etc/apt/sources.list. If not, see the ppa description on how to add it.

Then, try

sudo apt-get install libraspberrypi-bin libraspberrypi-dev

and be sure to enable the camera from

raspi-config
