Only small pictures work

Cartsy · Post by **Cartsy** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 2:42 am

I have done that shared memory thing. But still only small videos views in zoneminder monitor. 320x240 works fine, but 352x288 is already too big and it won't work, just broken image icon displays. FPS is 4, if that matters.

Is there anything to do?

Might have a look at this post:

Shared memory is the only setting that affects being able to capture at lower resolutions and not higher ones.
The above post should be of use.

Doesn't help

This is how my /etc/systcl.conf looks like in Ubuntu 7,04:

Code: Select all

kernel.shmall = 14400000
kernel.shmmaxx = 16384

# visible to other users.  (Added in kernel 2.6.22.)
kernel.maps_protect = 1

# Increase inotify availability
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288

Try this:

Code: Select all

echo 4294967296 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmall
echo 68719476736 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

If those values work then add then to your /etc/sysctl.conf

No help. Even the small pictures stopped working with those values.

I got now 300000000 on both, shmall and shmmax. With poor resolution.

How much RAM do you have?

Cartsy · Post by **Cartsy** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 9:10 pm

700-800 Mb. But it is the same thing on my laptop, it has 2gb. Ubuntu 8.04 in both.

Here is 'sysctl -p' and 'ipcs -l' from my server machine. (700-800Mb)

Code: Select all

kernel.shmall = 300000000
kernel.shmmax = 300000000
kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
kernel.maps_protect = 1
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288
vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1

Code: Select all

------ Shared Memory Limits --------
max number of segments = 4096
max seg size (kbytes) = 292968
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 1200000000
min seg size (bytes) = 1

------ Semaphore Limits --------
max number of arrays = 128
max semaphores per array = 250
max semaphores system wide = 32000
max ops per semop call = 32
semaphore max value = 32767

------ Messages: Limits --------
max queues system wide = 16
max size of message (bytes) = 8192
default max size of queue (bytes) = 16384

It's working! With settings:
shmall = 512000
shmmax = 700000000

Don't know why
