I'm attempting to get streaming video working.

One of the answers here: RasPi Camera Board and Motion suggested using the command sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2.

First I ran:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2

However, when I run this command on my RPi 3 Model B I get the following:

modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:557 kmod_search_moddep() 
could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.4.50-v7+/modules.dep.bin'

So I had the same issue. I found here that the linux image should be reinstalled ( #apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r)).

However, at the time this answer is written, the only images on the raspbian repo are 4.4.0, while uname -r returned 4.4.5 on my raspbian. Meanwhile, ls /lib/modules/ contained 4.9.x dirs.

So I don't know what happened to the raspbian image, but installing rpi-update and then running it fixed the issue for me:

sudo apt-get install rpi-update && sudo rpi-update

If you need a specific kernel version, well, you gotta install it yourself.
