Camera is recognised but no picture is captured

Hi everyone,

We only support Ubuntu 18.4 and 20.4 as those are both well within support ranges, and they run on newer hardware. LightBurn relies on the versions of GlibC and Gstreamer that come with these versions, if you don’t have these, you’re likely to have issues - particularly with camera. If you want to take a crack at using those versions on your particular flavor of Linux, feel free, but we will not be able to support those use cases.

I just booted Ubuntu 18.04.6 and LightBurn 1.2.04 would not run because of the GLIBC v2.29 requirement, really just libm. v18.04.6 is running glibc v2.27. I downloaded glibc 2.29 and compiled it then copied libm.so.6 to the LightBurn directory and loaded LightBurn with LD_PRELOAD=./libm.so.6 LightBurn and it ran.
