It was runing very smooth from weeks now.
I have a pal camera plugged in a miro PCTV board.
My mysql version is 4.0.23_Debian-3ubuntu2.1-log, runing on an old fashioned celeron 500 with 128 Mbytes of memory.
My source device appears red on the console.
With xawtv i have a good image.
Here is a sample of what i can read in zmdc.log
Here is the line 247 of SharedMem.pm02/19/06 22:47:24.065747 zmdc[9945].ERR ['zma -m 1' crashed, exit status 255]

and its line 255

After reading the forum I found this post

I tried the "zmfix and zmupdate -f as root" solution, but it did not work.
Then I went into zmwatch.log and got on the same date/time :
02/19/06 22:46:54.566210 zmwatch[9992].INF [Watchdog starting]

I also unchecked ZM_STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG, did nothing
I activated debug informations loging.
here are some informations :

During my search for a solution i created a second monitor, which I can not delete now !
Now, the most interesting thing I foundI ran, as root, this script
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/perl -w0
use strict;
$| = 1;
use ZoneMinder::Config qw/:all/;
print ZM_SHM_KEY."\n";I ran ipcs -m to check if the shared memory is initialized here is the output0x7a6d2000
There is a difference on the numbers : 0x7a6d2001 and 0x7a6d2000------ Segment de mémoire partagé --------
clé shmid propriétaire perms octets nattch états
0x7a6d2001 0 root 700 2560708 0
is this the problem source ?
Should I change ZM_SHM_KEY in my options panel to 0x7a6d2001 ?
Is the fact that the shared memory belong to root the problem ?
