ERROR: *** no cameras available ***

So i recently bought the raspberry pi 4 along with the RPI-CAM-V2. The RPI-CAM-V2 did not work and had this for the following commands:
aranis@raspberrypi:~ $ libcamera-hello
[0:03:50.556163493] [2641] INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:284 libcamera v0.1.0+118-563cd78e
Made X/EGL preview window
ERROR: *** no cameras available ***
aranis@raspberrypi:~ $ vcgencmd get_camera
supported=0 detected=0, libcamera interfaces=0
Many people said it gets damaged quite easily, so I assumed it was and returned it. I ordered an offbrand one instead, and got the same exact issue.
Im definitely missing something here. I highly doubt my pi doesn't support cameras. It has the csi ribbon connector with "CAMERA" written on it. What can I do to get this to work? I have to rpi 4 model B and am running bookworm.
Camera is missing in interface config : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... e7b2d628dc&
enable legacy camera is also missing in the other config
camera i ordered instead : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DNSKMZ1?ps ... ct_details[/url]
libcamera-vid --list-cameras shows:
No cameras available!

(i do not know how to paste links in text on this, so sorry for that)
The legacy camera option is not available in our Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye images, and you don't need to set any config to enable cameras any more. I would start again with a fresh OS image, apply all updates, and change no configuration items at all. You might also find this post helpful to read.
The Amazon camera you linked to is actually a Camera v1 (ov5647). Do you still have the v2 camera (imx219)?
If you are working with the camera v1 from Amazon, I would start with unplugging the IR cut filter wire and disconnect any IR lights, then reboot the device (with a fresh OS install). Then if you run libcamera-hello --list-cameras and get none found, can you please post the output of the camera-bug-report tool here please?
I used raspberry pi imager and reinstalled the OS. I did not format it before doing so (does this matter?). I do not have the v2 camera.
It does work now, BUT i forgot to mention that it did detect the camera before and then stopped working after aswell. I'm not going to change anything now since it works, but will let you know if it stops working again.
I had to use libcamera-hello --qt -preview since im using xrdp. It only runs for 5 seconds and then shuts off. Is this normal? How can I run it for longer?
Here's the output when i run libcamera-hello --qt -preview:

Are you using the IR cut filter or the IR lights? If so, the power draw will sometimes cause the camera to stop working. We do not recommend you use these devices without an external power source!

This is normal, it runs for 5 seconds then stops. You can update the timeout with the -t command line argument.
Resolving now as the original problem has been addressed.
