has nobody come across this problem ?

Hi All, After a break from this, I'm back and still having probs. Done a fresh install, and cant get around the broken image issue and a lib error as shown Other than that, cam is green etc, so it seems to be working,, [root@amd64 tmp]# more /var/log/zm/zmdc.log Server starting at 05/03/26 23:18:18 ...

I too am considering starting from the beginining again or even from an RPM. I'm no SELinux expert either and my install is fairly defualt too. Further I just followed the instruction given on the Redhat site to turning off SELinux. Think those instructions where already relayed thro this thread. As ...

Sorry no success yet. Still struggling with the same error messages. Although I'm starting to regret picking FC3 as a distro.
I would think your issues certainly look SELinux based due to the AVC entiries. Although exactly what, sorry I can't be of any help.

Im currently using a Philips 646 Webcam (PWC) at present.

But will be adding a ov519 based camera when I can sort out its drivers and then possibly onto a BT848 based tuner card if I can get it working...

Thanks for the continued support

Sorted the Entity.pm issue from the zmdc.log. Installed the relevant file and deps. Upon restart ZM the zmdc.log just reports the pids stoppong and starting as probably expected. Still no images tho and its still going nutts on /var/log/messages with the following entries ERR [Capture failure from ...

I'm attempting to build from source, albeit unsuccessfully


MIME::Entity perl module. Umm thats a new one. Where is the best place to find that for my FC3 box and also will I need to recomplile ZM from scratch if missing?

err sorry ignore my last post.. think I'm loosing my mind. Double checked I set the value the wrong with the check box.. Its now uncheck in the console implying the correct use of ZM_STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG to avoid the picture attrib setting. The source now goes green in the console. But the /var/;log ...

I too am suffering from the error message regarding the picture attibute. [Failed to set picture attibutes: Invalid argument] However I've followed the instructions form the FAQ and its not worked.. Thro the console I've set ZM_STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG and restart but the error persists. I've also ...

Peter Im far from knowlegable about these things.. Thats why I'm relying heavily on the support from the forum.

But try modifying the /etc/selinux/config
and change the value for SELinux to disabled. I know it prevents SELinux from running, but it does improve things no end.

Yep disabling SELinux has certainly improved things. Thanks for that Cordel. ZM is now able to run according to the console. Hope my system is not too insecure because of it! Will need to start to understand SELinux more I guess :oops: Phil. You were also right the grep'ing ERR on the rest of the ...

thanks for that. Yep SELinux is enabled. I've previously had some fun with SELinux and the DRI component on my NViidia accelerated drivers. Would you recommend totally disabling it then? Seems to cause more trouble than its worth. But to be honest at present I've little understanding off exactly how ...

to be honest i can't locate anything within /var/log/messages related to zm. However the following entries are being logged to zmdc.log, which cant be good. Server starting at 05/02/24 11:22:03 'zmc -d 0' started at 05/02/24 11:22:07 'zmc -d 0' starting at 05/02/24 11:22:07, pid = 16569 'zmc -d 0 ...

Now for the next set of problems.... :shock: Got into the console and defined my monitor and zone using /dev/video0 as you would expect. But when I check the zone I see no image just the broken link. I've also observed that the console wont change state from stopped to started. I assume this ...

Umm , yep sorry about that rather slack error. I thought I'd installed all the required PHP and mysql components. Anyway you were right. I can now get to the ZM console. Guess its time to work out how to use it. Phil, once again thanks for your support. Sorry to have bothered you with a newbie ...
