I just reinstalled my ZM system to Fedora Core 10, but made the partitions wrong. I created a huge /usr partition, when I should have created a huge /var partition. Is there an easy way to "rearrange" these? I suppose it could be done via symlinks, but other than that, I would be willing t...

Well, that turned out to be easy. I followed my gut on the log message. The telltale sign was the authentication issue. I am doing my testing on a machine other than the ZM device (as you should, as there should be no UI running on the ZM system). The problem was that I still had a Firefox window op...

I get the same problem. New/clean install, with Fedora Core 10. ZM 1.23.3 Though I notice I also get this with it: ERR [Unable to authenticate user] Is there a user-related issue on 1.23.3? The system has been rebooted since enabling it, and all cameras were created post switch to authentication.

I have five cameras running (version 1.22.3), and find my nph-zms processes never close down. Here's my ps list: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 15814 apache 20 0 162m 48m 45m R 23 2.4 122:47.27 nph-zms 15817 apache 20 0 153m 39m 36m S 18 1.9 115:32.47 nph-zms 15854 apache 20 0...

Well, to paraphrase a line from "The Hunt for Red October": I stripped it down and turned it into a flying gascan. :) Here's my current interrupt list: [root@webserv ~]# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 0: 194 0 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 114 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 9: 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi acpi 17: 1...

Can you be more specific on what you mean by the config? It was working fine on the previous motherboard (I didn't make any changes to ZM when I replaced the board). I tried disabling the IDE controller completely, but it made no difference. Nothing else onboard is being used except the NIC, which I...

OK, and more info....reboot made no difference. Here's the current dmesg and interrupts list: [root@webserv ~]# dmesg |grep bttv bttv: driver version 0.9.17 loaded bttv: using 32 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bt878: Unknown symbol bttv_read_gpio bt878: Unknown symbol bttv_write_gpi...

Also, my keyboard (USB) was on USB2, so I moved it to USB3: Jan 16 22:44:00 webserv kernel: usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 2 Jan 16 22:44:02 webserv kernel: usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Jan 16 22:44:02 webserv kernel: usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice...

In case this is of any help, I'm using Fedora Core 8 (no plans on upgrading the OS, as it was working fine until I switched boards), on a dual-core 2.8 with 2 Gig of RAM, so resources shouldn't be the issue: [root@webserv ~]# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 0: 255 0 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 2 0 IO-APIC-...

I changed to a new motherboard, and am getting an odd problem when I enable my 5th camera. The capture card is a Kodicom 4400. Here is the output in /var/log/messages: Jan 16 22:05:04 webserv zmdc[2421]: WAR [Can't find process with command of 'zmc -d /dev/video3'] Jan 16 22:05:04 webserv zmdc[2742]...

Well, it looks like the problem was with the zones. I guess I changed one of my zones around the same time this happened, and didn't realize that it was causing a crash in zma. I blew away all my zones and went back to a single zone just to test it. It works fine now. Would be nice to know what the ...

No, the card itself (luckily) is fine.

More info. Here's the output with the DEBUG level cranked to 9: [...] 06/23/08 00:43:32.020865 zma_m4[31664].DB7-zm_zone.cpp/161 [Checking line 477 from 236 -> 410] 06/23/08 00:43:32.020877 zma_m4[31664].DB7-zm_zone.cpp/161 [Checking line 478 from 306 -> 410] 06/23/08 00:43:32.020889 zma_m4[31664].D...

I had a camera get taken out with a failed power supply (spiked to 15V and nuked it before I caught it) :( and my new camera is causing some issues. ZMA crashes with a segfault. Camera goes Yellow (assuming monitor mode only) after ZMA goes down...so no events being captured. Here's the traceback(s)...

If you have the UI installed, but are running at run-level 3 in Fedora (CLI only), all you need to do to get the UI up is type: init 5 I can't speak about Debian-based distros like Ubuntu, because I don't like them. But for RedHat-based versions like Fedora, this is definitely the way to go for ease...
