Zoneminder/CTU core CD distro

[JungleBoyCor]

...You have to go into the webmin menu click [webmin users] -> [root] and select "unix authentication"

You assume I can get into webmin but I can't thats my problem.
Any way getting into webmin if you're locked out?
The Webmin FAQ talks about a tool called "changepass.pl" but I can't find that on the system also...
Thanx,
Cor

If it's not accepting your root password, use a blank password (no password) is the defualt when webmin is installed without (in this case before) perl-auth-pam.

Edit:
And incase you should ever need the changepass script it's here:

Code: Select all

# locate changepass.pl
/usr/libexec/webmin/changepass.pl

You don't need that script on a freash install though.

[JungleBoyCor]

It worked. Thanx a lot!
Be Blessed,
Cor

Installed the distro - no problem. Following instructions in the forum, but there seem to be a problem with the curl package doing yum update.

Downloading Packages:
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
public key not available for curl-7.12.3-4.fc3.i386.rpm
Retrieving GPG key from ftp://download.computerntelecom.com/pub/RPM-GPG-KEY-CTU

The GPG key at ftp://download.computerntelecom.com/pub/RPM-GPG-KEY-CTU (0x475C5926)
is already installed but is not the correct key for this package.
Check that this is the correct key for the "CTU Core 3 - i386 - Released Updates" repository.

I am not aware how to handle this.
Anyone with some expirience on that?

Thanks in advance, Orla

You need to import Fedoras Key
rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

That should do the trick.

Right you are!
Thank you.

I will return after setting up cameras and testing.
I am using a Kodicom card - KMC-4400r. Hope it works.

Orla

[cordel]

It works great. Thats what I use (well one of the few card types that I have anyway). You just have to inmod the card correctly.

Corey

[orla]

Will try the best I can.

Found this: http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Kodicom_4400R
(modprobe bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133)
The link states:
"The kernel is able to work with this card from version 2.6.12-6 onwards and is in the 2.6.13 kernel baseline"
cat /proc/version - Linux version 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3
If you have it running, the information above may not be correct.
I will give it my best shot.

Should I ad this modprobe line to rc.local?
How have you done it?

Thanks again.
Its getting late here in Denmark, so I will see if I can get a picture tomorrow.
The system is to be used at a small private school, were I help out with the computer installation.

[cordel]

I put the insmod in /etc/modprobe.conf
I haven't yet tried the newer kernel as I think FC3 is still on 2.6.12 so it would have to be insmod in.
When the later kernel makes it in to the distro, the card should be auto detected and not require anything be done.

[orla]

Its not related t this forum, but would you share the line in your /etc/modprobe.conf?
I guess something like
install bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133
But I am not familiar at all, with module installation.

[cordel]

modprobe.conf

Code: Select all

alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133 tuner=4,4,4,4

[orla]

I think this is doing the trick.
Looks in /var/log/dmesg tells, that the card is regognised.
Thank a lot.
Will try with camera tomorrow.

Hi Corey.

Picture in the box!
Thank (the danish word is "tak") you for all your help.

Will go forward with testing and fine-tuning.

I think further questions below in other forums.

Orla

[orla]

That is "belong" in other forums.

[cordel]

No problem Orla,
Glad you got it working.

Cheers,
Corey
