I am trying to follow this guide to stream video output from a DSLR camera to twitch via the command line. There appears to be a straightforward way to do it using raspivid
https://medium.com/nerdery/dslr-webcam-setup-for-linux-9b6d1b79ae22
The problem I have is that despite trying every version of rasbian I can get my hands on... NONE of them will let me install the package
v4l2loopback-dkms
After fresh-install booting either 34/64 bit versions of rasbian that were flashed using the official Raspi imager tool, the output is always the same. I'm using a Raspi 3 B v1.2 and a 32gb SD card. No overclocking or other customizations / settings other than wifi setup.
The only things I did before this were:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install gphoto2 v4l2loopback-utils v4l2loopback-dkms ffmpeg

I have literally been trying to get this working for a week. I was able to get the packages installed using Ubuntu Server 20.04, but then I lose access to raspi-config and even though there's a version of raspivid that's ported to ubuntu... because I can't go through the config and "enable the camera" raspivid remains useless.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills on this one because lots of people have clearly gotten what I want working... yet I'm running into undocumented and unclear roadblocks.
Please help. I just want to stream video from my DSLR with my raspi so I don't slow down my laptop with OBS studio.
