ZMC Daemon exists with 255

Post by zagadka »

G'day All,

I'm having trouble getting a 4 x SAA7130 card running in Zoneminder. I've had this card running successfully in FC7 with Zoneminder from an RPM (zoneminder-1.22.3-7.fc7) but for some reason in this new machine (Same Distro, RPM and Kernel Version [2.6.23.8-34.fc7 #1 SMP]) I am getting only black output.

I've done a fair bit of reading up to no avail...

I'm running with noapic and pci=noacpi kernel arguements.

I've loaded the card as a number 33 (options saa7134 card=33,33,33,33). The same as the previous machine. I can see in the dmesg that both the vbix and V4L2 videox devices are created from 0 thru 3.

It appears that zmc is not staying up. For some reason it's existing with a 255.

All of my logs and sock file are in /var/log/zoneminder. They all appear and get written to.

Whats not currently happening is the creation of the zm_debug.pid (/var/log/zoneminder/zm_debug.log+) debug files. I currently have debug at 10 and extra debug at 9... I've restarted the service on several occasions...

Theres also some interesting stuff in messages... I am getting an IO error there. Google didn't turn up a solution either...

Same issues

Post by nostep »

I have similar problems. I have a Kworld SEC4X_7134A 4 channel card, Fedora 8, and I installed Zoneminder 1.22 using add remove software. The service zoneminder was automatically setup and it is running. On the browser I can see the console window. I setup my two working channels in there. The zoneminder service starts that up automatically after restart. I keep getting the same 255 error on each channel. The video card works correctly in xawtv.

Also, the console thinks the program is not running. "ZoneMinder Console - Stopped - v1.22.3" is shown on top even though it is running in the process list.

Aarg!

Mine shows zoneminder is running in the ZM console.

I will have to try xawtv and see if I can get anything out of that...

Cheers,
Tim.

xaw will show if the card is working

re the fedora 8 problem, there is something badly wrong with your install.

I've been able to spend some more time looking at this problem. I can see now that for some reason nothing can read the video devices.

For example:

Code: Select all

[root@dvr ~]# dd if=/dev/video0 of=test.mpg
dd: reading `/dev/video0': Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.503605 s, 0.0 kB/s
or

Code: Select all

[root@dvr ~]# cat /dev/video0
cat: /dev/video0: Input/output error
xawtv:

Code: Select all

xawtv -nodga -device /dev/video0
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.23.12-52.fc7)

Make sure SELinux is disabled. You should find Violations in the selinux logs if this is the case.

Sadly, SELinux is already disabled :(

It must be the old P4 architecture or the chipset or something. This system I was trying to get working was a P4 Celeron.

The same card, FC7 + AMD with Nvidia MCP55 chipset works fine.

The same card, FC8 + Core2 with a 945 chipset works too!


I guess the gear is just not compatible. Unfortunately I don't have the time for hows/whys I've got to get it out the door... =(

Thanks for all your replies!
