No cameras available with ov5647 #136

I am trying to get this camera (https://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Fish-Eye-Camera-Raspberry-Arduino/dp/B00N1YJKFS) working with libcamera. It is working with old stack (raspistill, raspivid), so no hardware issues. When running libcamera-hello, I get:

Preview window unavailable
[0:02:04.718587626] [1304]  INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:293 libcamera v0.0.0+                                 3156-f4070274
ERROR: *** no cameras available ***

My device is Raspberry Pi 3B+. Running Raspberry PI OS, x32, version 11 (5.10.63-v7+ armv7l). sudo vcgencmd version returns:

Nov  8 2021 18:53:02 
Copyright (c) 2012 Broadcom
version 4f73dcaefcfd5b20317e44a81d10e9d74fd3dffe (clean) (release) (start)

Everything is updated and upgraded through apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. I also ran sudo apt install libcamera0 libcamera-tools libcamera-apps and confirmed that i have the latest packages. I am running headless through VMC Viewer (server running as service).

Since my camera uses OV5647 module, this is how my /boot/config.txt looks like:

# For more options and information see
# http://rpf.io/configtxt
# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1

# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1

# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2

# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4

# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

# Uncomment this to enable infrared communication.
#dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=17
#dtoverlay=gpio-ir-tx,gpio_pin=18

# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on

# Automatically load overlays for detected cameras
camera_auto_detect=0
dtoverlay=ov5647

# Automatically load overlays for detected DSI displays
display_auto_detect=1

# Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2

# Disable compensation for displays with overscan
disable_overscan=1

[cm4]
# Enable host mode on the 2711 built-in XHCI USB controller.
# This line should be removed if the legacy DWC2 controller is required
# (e.g. for USB device mode) or if USB support is not required.
otg_mode=1

[pi4]
# Run as fast as firmware / board allows
arm_boost=1

[all]
gpu_mem=128

Any ideas? This camera is working with old stack on the same RPI, but the performance is really bad, so I really want to get libcamera working too.

EDIT: Solved by completely reinstalling the OS on the Pi. Not sure what was the cause, but it works now. Please delete this issue.
