WAR [Waiting for capture daemon]

Post by little_oak »

Hi, i installed Zoneminder on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) Server.

I used apt to install (i tried manually and i received errors).
After install using apt, i enabled debug mode to view message error and was printed:

Nov 17 11:52:56 netserver zma_m1[7839]: WAR [Waiting for capture daemon]
Nov 17 11:52:57 netserver zma_m1[7839]: WAR [Waiting for capture daemon]

Nov 17 11:53:07 netserver zma_m1[7839]: WAR [Waiting for capture daemon]


And:

Nov 17 11:45:27 netserver zmdc[7814]: INF [Starting pending process, zmc -d /dev/video0]
Nov 17 11:45:27 netserver zmdc[7814]: INF ['zmc -d /dev/video0' starting at 09/11/17 11:45:27, pid = 7896]
Nov 17 11:45:27 netserver zmdc[7896]: INF ['zmc -d /dev/video0' started at 09/11/17 11:45:27]
Nov 17 11:45:27 netserver zmc_dvideo0[7896]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = <none>]
Nov 17 11:45:27 netserver zmc_dvideo0[7896]: INF [New Debug Level = 9, New Debug Log = /tmp/zm_debug.log.07896]
Nov 17 11:45:27 netserver zmc_dvideo0[7896]: INF [Starting Capture]
Nov 17 11:45:27 netserver zmdc[7814]: INF ['zmc -d /dev/video0' crashed, signal 6]

How to solve it?

Thanks.

Hi,

Could you please tell me what you changed the permissions on?

I'm trying to configure ZM on Fedorea 11. I installed ZM from a repository, 'yum install zoneminder'. the capture card if showing the cameras ok in tvtime and I have created a test monitor, but when I try to view it, I get a broken image, and tail -f /var/log/messages show the 'Waiting for capture daemon' message.

Any pointers would be great!

Thanks,
Adam
