Running Howdy 2.6.1, on elementary OS 7.1 (based on Ubuntu 22.04.3), IR camera is built-in on XPS 15 9500 (ID 0bda:5510 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Integrated_Webcam_HD).
Howdy worked very well on this exact setup less than a week ago, which is part of the reason I'm so stumped here. The error I keep getting is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/howdy", line 95, in <module>
import cli.add
File "/usr/lib/security/howdy/cli/add.py", line 157, in <module>
face_locations = face_detector(gsframe, 1)
RuntimeError: Unsupported image type, must be 8bit gray or RGB image.
The exact same message when testing or adding a new face. Running the snapshot test, the jpg that I get is clearly taken in IR, and is in 8bit greyscale as it should be. Snapshot test is attached if that helps. The device path is configured properly and the IR emitters light up when I test or add a new face, it just is giving a weird file to the program for some reason.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled howdy probably 10 times now, tried every camera device path I have, changed the /lib/security/howdy/compare.py file as this solution suggested, all of them give me the exact same error every time.
Like I said, this version of howdy ran beautifully out of the box on this exact OS, with this exact camera, I can't think for the life of me what I might be doing different this time around.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! I really liked this project when I got it running last time, I wouldn't be trying this hard otherwise :)
