Is there anyone from the #LinuxMobile #mobileLinux community living in Berlin with a working #Librem5 battery who would be willing to help me booting and updating my device once? Unfortunately my battery is dead and I haven't found out how to quickly get a new one - however IIUC it would boot without battery once updated to a newer firmware (https://forums.puri.sm/t/librem-5-does-not-boot-without-battery/16954/11).
Edit: Thanks for the help, looks like I'll get a battery from #Purism or @agx
The main reason I'm asking is that #libcamera just landed their softwareISP and it should be quite easy to make it work for the #librem5 - which would allow all apps supporting #pipewire cameras - e.g. #firefox or #GStreamer based ones - to use the cameras on the device. And I'd like to help make that happen, but just need a working device for that :)
@zdenekj @purism The good news is that in this case it's a two-way street: we know that the librem makes quite good pictures and the viewfinder AFAIK runs well on the weak hardware. So the challenge will be: make libcamera take similar good pictures - and make Snapshot (Gnome Camera) perform similarly well.
Having that ironed out should be really helpful once we get cameras to work on more #postmarketOS devices with the softwareISP.
