Hi Phil, Here is the output from gdb on zmc - as you can see, not a lot! I started gdb after a reboot, fired up zmc and let it run for several minutes (>5) - any ideas? Starting program: /usr/local/bin/zmc -d 0 Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x40242984 in ioctl () from /lib/libc.so.6 ...

Hi Phi,

Thanks for the very prompt response! I'll give gdb a try tomorrow evening (I'm out tonight) and see if anythig shows up.

Cheers,

Norman

Hi Phil. Further to my recent messages, I've totally zapped Linux, reinstalled everything including ZM 1.18.1 but still no joy. ZM appears to start OK, the capture daemon seems to stay up but the only message (in /var/log/messages - nothing anywhere else) is zma-m1[4270]: WAR [Waiting for capture ...

Hi Phil, Good guess - I've attached relevant parts of the optput from top on the old system (P450, SuSE 8.2, ZM 0.9.15 - all working OK) and the new system (Athlon XP2000, SuSe 8.2, ZM 1.18.1 - not capturing) and it seems that, as you suspected, all the zm processes are just sitting in sleep mode ...

Phillip, Further to my previous postings, I’ve uninstalled Zoneminder, dropped the ZM tables from MySQL, uninstalled MySQL, reinstalled MySQL, configured and built ZM 1.18.1 but I still have no image in the watch window. I’ve had a good GREP round but the only place the messages seem to be going to i ...

Phil, Thanks for the very prompt response. Yes, there is only one copy of zmc running - this was also the case on the old PC. With regard to the 'Front door' - I had notice this issue in a previous thread but I haven;t had any problems with this name on the old PC so I assume it is not a problem ...

Hi, Thanks to Philip and Fernado for your advice back in November with regard to the image brightness fluctuations. It was a hardware issue and once I had all four cameras connected, ZM 0.9.15 ran happily under SuSE8.2. Well, ran is a misnomer - it was struggling on a Pentium 450MZ with 192 MB of ...

Phillip, Fernando, Thanks for your comments and suggestions. The bttv details are - Linux video capture interface: v1.00 i2c-core.o: i2c core module version 2.7.0 (20021208) i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module version 2.7.0 (20021208) bttv: driver version 0.7.105 loaded bttv: using 4 buffers ...

Hi, I've just set up ZoneMinder (0.9.15) on Suse 8.2 and it all appers to be working apart from a problem with extreme image brightness fluctuations from frame to frame (viewed using Mozilla 1.4). The vieo card is a GrandTec Video Capture card (4-channel device using the BT878 chipset) and the image ...
