Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mythplugins
System: Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 6 zoneminder: 1.23.3-3 mythzoneminder: 0.21.0+fixes18379-0ubuntu1 Installed package mythzoneminder which loads fine in mythfrontend however will not display any live video feeds. When opening the live stream window only a black box is shown. This occurs for GL, XV and RGB display options. mythzmserver output: : sudo mythzmserver -c /etc/zm/zm.conf loading zm config from /etc/zm/zm.conf ZM is version '1.23.3' Listening on port: 6548 Failed to shmget for monitor: 1 ENOENT - no segment exists for the given key Failed to shmget for monitor: 3 ENOENT - no segment exists for the given key mythfrontend (-v most) output: 2008-10-02 09:44:03.099 MythZoneMinder: Using Xv for display 2008-10-02 09:44:03.111 Found 0 Xv adaptors 2008-10-02 09:44:03.111 WARNING: Couldn't find free Xv adaptor with RGB XvImage support 2008-10-02 09:44:03.111 Falling back to XImage - slow and ugly rescaling 2008-10-02 09:44:03.111 write -> 26 20 GET_LIVE_FRAME[]:[]1 2008-10-02 09:44:03.111 read <- 26 46 ERROR - Cannot get shared memory pointers[]:[] 2008-10-02 09:44:03.111 The server failed to process the command.

The error was:- ERROR - Cannot get shared memory pointers Error message repeats for as long as live stream screen is open. (Whilst there is an error above saying that Xv could not be loaded, this is unrelated as the same problem is experienced on another system where Xv works normally) Zoneminder is setup correctly and video can be displayed via web interface so the problem is with myth zoneminder. Same setup worked with mythzoneminder under 8.04. Suggested cause: This is possibly due to a limitation of mythzoneminder: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythZoneMinder#Dependencies Above site states that mythzoneminder only works with zoneminder versions 1.22.2 and 1.22.3 whereas Intrepid has upgraded to zoneminder 1.23.3. Not 100% sure this is the cause of the problem, but it is a possibility. If the versioning issue above is the issue, it will obviously need to wait until the problem is fixed upstream, but in the mean time it should be documented somewhere that package mythzoneminder will not work on Intrepid. ** Affects: mythplugins (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [8.10] mythzmserver will not display live feed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
