Installation of .blob file on Ubuntu Server
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2020 6:51 am
Hi, I'm needing a ubuntu installation for the project I'm working on currently and I'm unable to access the camera. I was hoping to follow the below but it hasn't worked out for me.

I'm using Ubuntu Server 18.04.4 for Raspberry Pi 3. the .blob file has been placed in /writable/boot AND /writable/boot/firmware/ (because in other matters the boot folder has been found to actually be there which I don't quite understand) but unfortunately there's been no luck. Is this the correct folder? megils parting comments are unfortunately ambiguous, I can't determine with certainty if I've installed the .blob in the correct location.
Are there also any further packages that will be necessary to use the camera? Being Ubuntu I can't (easily) install the raspi utils and it seems a bit pointless to install them simply for a test case unless of course they are necessary for the operation of everything.
