raspberry PI 2B camera: errors and camera test bumpy

Hello,
I have uploaded the latest debian on my raspberry PI 2B.
The camera setup is difficult.

Errors at boot
(module loaded. fine)
1. motion conf filled but 1024x768 (as previous setup 2 years ago) claimed. Change to 1296x972 in motion.conf is claimed to be 1296x976 (wrong)
2. pipeline error; see below

Camera is on; red light can be seen.


Any idea what is happening there? Comments and remarks are welcome.
I am looking for any hardware issue. I ordered a new cable. Who knows..

I'm having the same issue and not making much progress.

I've tried various config.txt settings in different combinations:

gpu_mem=128
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
camera_auto_detect=1

Any other positive result from other distro is welcome.

did not work for me. looks like it was depreciated. However, thanks, I will observe the link you gave to me what happens there.

Post showing perhaps a path for others stuck at a similar situation (not a confirmed solution for now; looks only better).

A new ordered 32GB SD card and
- formatting FAT32
- a fresh install of https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/ra...hf-2021-11-08/
- with later sudo apt install -y qtbase5-dev libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5widgets5
looks promising: the red light of the camera in ON the whole time where it was not previously.
A photo of the camera is attached.

(previous SD in the raspberry was an officiel 8GB SD from blackberry where raspbian was choosen/activated and upgraded to a bullseye version).

Update: STILL NOT WORKING.

I just updated with apt and at least libcamera is working now. Gstreamer is not negotiating any pipeline and motion has also issues.
