Hi there,  
I have installed libcamera. But it does not work.

> ERROR: the system appears to be configured for the legacy camera stack

So, where can I configure and disable the legacy camera stack?

I am running a Raspberry 3+ with 64bit Dietpi

Thanks

See [DietPi-Config | RPi: Add modern RPi camera module support · Issue #5127 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub](https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5127)

> When enabling the camera module option, setting camera\_auto\_detect=1 or start\_x=1 based on whether full KMS is used or not.  
> When switching between fake KMS/full KMS/legacy and the camera module is enabled, switch between camera\_auto\_detect=1 and start\_x=1 accordingly.

You can enable this option in dietpi-config.  
But it also seems the new camera stack is not stable in every circumstance. [libcamera stack does not work in Bullseye with the RasPi Camera V2 and the HQ Camera - Raspberry Pi Forums](https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=1958297)

Hi,  
seems that it works now.

I did the following setup:

1. Enable ‘8: RPi Camera’ at DietPi-Config/Display Options/
2. added ‘camera\_auto\_detect=1’ to the /boot/config.txt
3. Installed libcamera ‘apt install libcamera-apps-lite’

Thank you.
