Camera app cannot be installed
-
(I use a Fairphone 3+ with Ubuntu Touch 20.04 (OTA 5) The following problem: The camera app keeps crashing. A restart is normally sufficient.
This time, however, the camera app was gone afterwards. So I tried to reinstall it. Clicking on the ‘Install’ button leads to a progress bar (forwards and backwards) and then ... nothing. Instead of ‘Open’, ‘Install’ appears again.
Then I tried to delete the app completely and remove all traces (cache, config, local/share). The same result when installing. I then tried it via the open-store.io website with the current and previous versions. Nothing. Installing the packages via UT-Tweak-Tool shows that it is installed, but this is not true. The app is still missing.Then I tried using the terminal and sudo apt-get install and as names lomiri-camera-app and camera-app. Package not found. Now I don't know what to do...
What can I do? I don't want to do without the camera. But I also don't want to reinstall my whole system (and lose all data..) - especially since I don't know if it would do anything.

Hi human (I'm sure you're not a real fish)
@Fish said in Calender app cannot be installed:

You do not have to loose all your data when reinstalling.
With the UBports installer, you have an option to not erase your data but still reinstall the system.
For this, do not tick the checkbox with the labelWipe Userdata
it is normally unchecked, but be aware of its existence and status.Or you can use a simpler method but it takes longer and switch channel.
You did specify whether your are in stable, devel or RC, my advice would be to switch between RC and Stable.
So imagine you're on Stable.
Go to System settings > Updates then click on the cogwheel
Tap on Channel and switch to another one (RC).
When you go back to the Update menu you will have the update being downloaded and when done, an option to install it.
Do it and when your phone as done the installation, do the same thing to select back the Stable channel.I hope this will help you getting the camera app back.
