I have my cam module connected and have also tried sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade but the pi is unable to detect the cam module.
On executing this command : vcgencmd get_camera
outputs: supported = 0, detected = 0
Why does it say supported = 0? Is there something wrong with the operating system?
You need to run sudo raspi-config and enable the camera from there before you can use it. The main menu should have an "Interfacing Options" submenu (probably #5). From there the option to enable the camera should be clear.
You will need to reboot after that.
What this does is add
start_x
gpu_mem=128
To /boot/config.txt. If the camera is not enabled after you reboot, check that file to make sure. Those should not be commented out (meaning there should be no # at the beginning of the line).
supported=0means that the camera is not enabled – Dirk Sep 17 '18 at 0:57
