Hi I am a total linux and raspi beginner running into a challenge
I am using a fully updated raspi4b with 8GB of ram running 64bit bookworm. I have done nothing but setting up the pi and ran apt update and apt ful-upgrade. Now all I want to achieve is to see the rpicam-hello output (the stream). However, starting rpicam-hello always leads to below error. I have tried every solution I could find online, but I still have the error. Is there something I can do to debug this? Is there a solution I just have missed? In every tutorial I see it is just, take pi, install bookworm, connect cam and enjoy...
Below please see the error output I get from running rpicam-hello.

Steps tried to solve the issue
Checked integrity of the downloaded image.
sudo apt update followed by sudo apt full-upgrade
I reflashed bookworm onto the same sd card.
I reflashed bookworm to another sd card.
In this post I thought it is my problem and answer: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q ... eap-device
However, adding "SUBSYSTEM=="dma_heap", GROUP="video", MODE="0660"" to "/etc/udev/rules.d/raspberrypi.rules" has no impact, same error. I have ensured my user is in the "video" group.
I have added more ram to the GPU "gpu_mem=512" also no impact same error.
I tried running rpi-hello with sudo and without. I get the same error in both cases.
I even tried the solution outlined here: viewtopic.php?t=329765. Also adding: dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512 dtoverlay=rpivid-v4l2 to /boot/config.txt has no effect.
Can anybody help, or should I just return the pi and cam as broken?
