Camera V3 not working on Raspberry Pi 5

[scaljeri]

I have the official PiOS installed (Debian) and connected the camera module V3. I can see the camera in action with

$> rpicam-hello -t 10s

The camera also worked with Firefox (not with Chromium)

Now, when I start Sparrow Wallet and create a new wallet and click "Airgapped Hardware Wallet" -> "Scan" I can see that it tries to open the camera window, but it closes immediately throwing the following error in the terminal:

(Sparrow:17252): Gdk-WARNING **: 16:09:29.706: XSetErrorHandler() called with a GDK error trap pushed. Don't do that.

I'm using Sparrow 2.0.0. Here are some details of the camera 👍

Hope someone understands all this data. Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried changing the camera resolution? Use the View menu to switch from normal to HD (or vice versa).

[scaljeri]

I just noticed that the pulldown menu's do not work too, I even tried to start the wallet as follows

 $> GDK_DISPLAY=1 ./Sparrow

But that didn't solve it.

Can you verify which window manager you are using?

[scaljeri]

Sure, this is Wayfire (Debian for Raspberry PI 5, Pi Os)

[craigraw]

Are you running XWayland? As the issue you linked to above notes, you'll need XWayland to to run Sparrow on Wayland compositors.

[scaljeri]

Yes, it seems I am:

`ps -e | grep Xwayland

3002 ? 00:00:00 Xwayland
