You may be able to use shared mem viewer on the headless box (would require x) and use x forwarding to another box

Surprisingly, that does work! I used ssh with an X tunnel to get into a head less box, and ran xlib_shm, and got a picture on my remote box! However, calling it slow is kinda like calling a nuclear blast loud... It just doesn't cover it.

Then after loging in,
"xlib_shm m1 m2 m3 m4"

Now wait...

Install the mysql-devel package

Posted: **Sun Mar 15, 2009 3:07 pm**

I searched for mysql-devel package but I didn't find it

so I donwload and install debs:

libmysqlclient12-dev_4.0.24-10ubuntu2_i386.deb
libmysqlclient12_4.0.24-10ubuntu2_i386.deb

Now, this is my error:

Code: Select all

I have a shortcut on the gnome desktop that starts xlib_shm-gl viewer. It works as it should. When i switch mode i kill the xlib_shm-gl and i get above message when i try to start xlib_shm-gl in command line.

here is command i use in shortcut and when i try to restart the viewer:
sudo xlib_shm-gl -m11 -m6 -m5 -m3 -m4 -m14 -c3 -k 0x7a6d0000

It is a problem with opening connection to xserver. That can be related to permissions.
What do you mean by "switch mode"?
What distro do you have?

Posted: **Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:11 pm**

i have two state , DAY = record and Night = Modect
i have created a script that runs in crontab
Here is the script

Day.sh
#!/bin/sh
#
#
#
if zmpkg.pl DAY $1
then
echo "$(date) PHASE 1 SWITCHING ZONEMINDER TO DAY MODE: SUCCESFULL" >> /var/log/mysqlcheck.log
status=1
else
echo "$(date) PHASE 1 SWITCHING ZONEMINDER TO DAY MODE: FAIL" >> /var/log/mysqlcheck.log
fi

if [ $status -eq 1 ] && xlib_shm-gl -m11 -m6 -m5 -m3 -m4 -m14 -c3 -k 0x7a6d0000 $1
then
echo "$(date) PHASE 2 STARTING XLIB_SHM-GL: SUCCESFULL" >> /var/log/mysqlcheck.log

echo "$(date) PHASE 2 STARTING XLIB_SHM-GL: FAIL" >> /var/log/mysqlcheck.log

I tried it over ssh so the error message makes sense, but it should have work fine when the crontab runs because it runs local and the xserver is running on the machine.

Maybe something wrong with my script because my log shows switching to Day mode was success but starting xlib_shm-gl fail.

my distro is gutsy

crontab doesn't run in x environment so it cannot access xserver.
You can try to run

Code: Select all

xhost +localhost

in X. Maybe it will help but I'm not sure about security...

Have you tried attached start_monitor script?

Hi Folks,

I've just re-installed my system and I can't get xlib_shm working

I'm getting the dreaded:

ERROR: Failed to shmget
ENOENT - segment doesn't exist
xlib_shm viewer for zm 1.24.1 version 0.6.4-gl
imgx=0 imgy=0
delay=10000
shmkey=7a6d0000
monitors:1 2 3 4
shared_data_size=9217524

I have no idea how to fix this, I have read through this forum post and people have solved it by changing their shmkey, but when I run

cat /proc/sysvipc/shm

I get:

key shmid perms size cpid lpid nattch uid gid cuid cgid atime dtime ctime
0 229376 777 135168 4654 4721 1 0 0 0 0 1256206880 1256206881 1256206878

What am I doing wrong? What -k arguement should I be using? Zoneminder is presently working great and I can see all the cameras (4, running at 640x480). I followed this guide to install the latest zoneminder with mmap:

I'd appreciate any help!
