Black screen on camera and process error

Post by johan123jo »

Hello,

I'm new to Zoneminder, i just got my card yesterday. But, i'm having some problems setting ZoneMinder up.
I installed Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS, and checked if my card was recognized by typing (sudo lspci -v).
After that i installed ZoneMinder, when i added my first camera it showed up as Yellow, and i was able to click on it.
But the only thing that showed up was a big black screen, so i checked the log, and i saw this:
Shared data size conflict in shared_data for monitor Monitor-1, expected 328, got 316

A quick search on Google said i needed to edit "our $arch = int(3.2*length(~0));" to "our $arch = 32;".
But after i did that and restarted the laptop ZoneMinder is running on, the camera turned from yellow to red, and i can't click on it.
And my logs is now spammed with:
Shared data not initialised by capture daemon, some query functions may not be available or produce invalid results

My card is a SAA7130, but it's using the SAA7134 kernel module.

Is there anyone that can help me out here?

Tried changing $arch back to standard value, and i'm getting "Shared data size conflict in shared_data for monitor Monitor-2, expected 328, got 316" again. But, also every time i change something on one of the cameras i get this "Can't find process with command of 'zma -m 2'"

I just reinstalled my system to Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, i got all the errors away except this one: Can't find process with command of 'zma -m 2'
It shows up every time i edit something on the cameras.
(I followed this guide: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way)

The camera is yellow, but when i click on it the state is idle, and the FPS is 2.05.

Here is a screenshot of the black screen, and my configuration with my camera.

The card i have (the place i bought it) is here: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... eo_capture follow the link number 2 on that page and then it's the 5008 (no audio).

It shows up as the SAA7130, and uses the SAA7134 module.

I would really like some help here : /

PS: I can't link to other sites, that's why i have to do it like that.

Have you tried to put "our $arch = 64;"?

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

And the same errors as before.

The camera i'm using is a SVAT CV31

If somebody could tell me if my "Source" settings is correct, it will help a big deal :)

I love how nobody knows how to fix this? Really? No idea how to fix these problems?

Posting the logs of the problem use to help more than pictures (even they contain useful info).
