Hi,
I have installed the latest Ubuntu Mate on my Raspberry Pi2. I wanted to use the Raspberry Pi camera in this operating system. Although I installed the 'picamera' driver in it, the system can not create the camera component when I ran " raspistill -o test.jpg".
Because there is no "raspi-config" in this OS, I have no idea to further set the camera. For the same camera and Pi, when I use a Raspbian Wheezy OS SD card, everything is OK for the RasPi camera.
Could somebody give me some suggestions?
Re: Raspberry Pi camera can not work in Ubuntu on Raspberry
Ubuntu is the most excellent linux system for raspberry pi2. The software update is very quickly.
Currently, there is no raspi-config command for raspberry configuration at version15.04, but it will come out in the near future version.
Without raspi-config, we can manually config it easily. Just modify the file /boot/firmware/config.txt is enough.
Just add a line "start_x=1" at the bottom of the file config.txt, save it, and reboot the system.
At the terminal, input command "sudo raspistill -o test.jpg", it will work.

Hi Sir,
I have the same issue, and we insall ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS version to Raspberry Pi. Just follow the instruction to add "start_x=1" at the /boot/firmware/config.txt. Then reboot, input the command "sudo raspistill -o test.jpg" => still error command.
Can you give me other suggestions to get RaspPi camera image under ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS system ?

Re: Raspberry Pi camera can not work in Ubuntu on Raspberry
I found the config file and edited it with:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
I was getting an error and tried this which took me to the config.txt file with no error. Still have to see if it worked to take stills but it's not working in VLC which is what I need to stream video over my network to my encoder.
sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Re: Raspberry Pi camera can not work in Ubuntu on Raspberry
Just in case anyone finds this thread via Google, maybe the following will be helpful:
I am running Ubuntu MATE 16.04 on my RPi3 and I'm trying to enable the camera
There doesn't seem to be a /firmware/ folder that contains a config.txt file
eg.
/boot/firmware/config.txt
However I was able to edit the config.txt file I found in
/boot/config.txt
Open up Terminal then enter:
I uncommented (removed the hash character) from line 470 (under the Camera Settings section)
#start_x=1
so it reads
start_x=1
Control + X to save and exit
then
Upon rebooting into the desktop, open Terminal and try:
and it should save a photo to your Desktop
