Absolutely! I'd also explore the Fedora option again. Been running flawless for around a year now, actually better than any of the live CD's. One thing to remember is to configure only one monitor when running the CD. Get it running then install to hard drive if you're happy. Also, if you choose ...

BB99: Deja vu: Have a look http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=65998 I believe it was an Ubuntu issue, Ross' live cd's are still available over at Linuxtracker, maybe give them a try and see how he gets this card to work and it does work. Just brought up a seed for all of them, your ...

You need to use channel 0 for all inputs, not channel 5.

my choice of wording was wrong sorry, i meant monitor 5, all of them are set to channel 0.

I'm using 32bit gentoo on an old pentium 1.4GHz and i capture using V4L1, PAL, RGB24 and 384x288, /dev/videoX and channel 0. mastertheknife. Running a test monitor on channel 5 /dev/video4, I get this result from the camera using those exact settings: http://i55.tinypic.com/igluop.jpg As achieving ...

I have the same card, bought from ebay though. Works good so far, and i use the settings (in bttv.conf) that you mentioned. these are needed for this card because it doesn't have an EEPROM and thus cannot be auto-detected. there are few things you can check\try: 1) clean the pins on the card's PCI ...

How is the airflow inside that computer? Also, try mounting small heatsinks ontop of the bt878 chips, they can get very hot and overheating might be the problem. mastertheknife i bought the device with heatsinks and paste, the board is also at the bottom meaning it's at the coolest part of the base ...

Before you all have a nab at me, I know that this has shown up in threads a few times previously, and I have read through them, searched the forums and Google but still can't seem to get colour images through the chip with XawTV or ZoneMinder. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, ZM 1.24.2, and have a ...

hiya again, it's me. i haven't forgotten about this thread, i've just about finished with most of my work meaning i have time to work on this system, it's taken far too long but hey, what can i do? okay so i put ZMLinuxOS on a disc and ran the live CD, it doesn't help that i'm a newbie to linux so i ...

okay i wish you the best of luck.

stay here if you want, it will be helpful for when i set-up mine, when i get another one of these dells, but then you might get more help if you make a new thread, you choose (:

it's completely a hardware conflict with my motherboard, i'm not too suprised this packard bell is nearly eight years old, i tried it on an old dell with a live cd and it seemed to pick up the card during startup where as the packard bell didn't.

Should be able to get 250 to 300 KB/s from me alone unless space and time prevent it. Just a suggestion: consider Fedora, it is very solid (Fedora 12 following the installation steps from the wiki, "the easy way", I posted it so cut and paste is possible with all entries included, none of this ...

The card works fine on both Mandriva and the live CD - its definitely Ubuntu that's the problem. I'd have stuck with the Larch, but I'm aware of security issues, and the major distros seem to have better update cycles. John According to camsecure, they even suggest to install it on Ubuntu. As above ...

Go to Linuxtracker and download a copy of "ZoneMinder 1.24.2 on Arch Linux live CD" or "ZoneMinder Live CD 1.23.3 on PCLinuxOS 2008.7", boot it (don't have to install) and see if you can configure a monitor. Lot's of 10+ Ubuntu posts with odd OS fixes, this will point to or eliminate the OS ...

It may just be a motherboard conflict, since its not recognising it at all, I will be getting some spare dells to try it on and see if it's a conflict or the card that's faulty. I will post the results when I get one, at the moment I don't have any spare computers I could use. Thank you for your ...
