raspistill stopped working after kernel update

Wed Jul 06, 2016 4:34 am

Hi

I have rpi 3
I cannot capture images with raspistill but I can save video with raspivid after kernel update.

I did this

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot
after this step everything works fine but after updating kernel, raspistill stopped working after doing this below.

Code: Select all

sudo rpi-update
reboot
here is the error message when I run rapistll.

Code: Select all

# raspistill -o img.jpg
raspistill: error while loading shared libraries: libbrcmGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
please help me.

You should only use rpi-update when advised to do so to fix an issue, it actually installs a Testing Kernel, it is not needed and a standard update / dist-upgrade is sufficient for the majority of users.

As above stated you need to roll back the kernel and do not rpi-update anytime soon..

Actually I've pushed an update, Can you report it another "rpi-update" fixes it?
