Here are my logs.

Not sure how else to fix it. Im thinking i may not have enough memory in this pc for zoneminder to run with my cameras. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe you're thinking right. 512MB is enough to run Linux and ZM, have a look: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... red+memory. I've run two camera's at 640*480 on 512 MB without any issues but your card might be an issue depending on the kernel: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... VR_150/160

So what kernal version should I be using? kernel 2.6.16? Its weird that ivtv commands v4lt-ctl commands all work fine and I can save the video fromthe command using ivtv and it shows the video. I added the correct values for my 512 mgs of ram but still gets the shared memory invalid. So it doesn't like the memory.
Kernel 2.6.16 or newer. Shared memory values for ZM are not determined by how much memory you have available but by ring buffer size x image width x image height x 3 (for 24 bit images) + a bit of overhead (covered in the wiki). A base value of 134217728 for shmall and shmmax is what I see mostly posted, this is good for 320*240 resolutions but won't work for 640*480. The programs you list as working probably map their memory use (I'm guessing) and aren't using the shared. It's not unusual for browsers, VLC, MPlayer, and others to display a picture/stream with nothing showing up in ZM. It usually boils down to source settings or shared memory.

Here is my output from uname -r. So i am running a new version of the kernel that 2.6.16bb99 wrote:Kernel 2.6.16 or newer.

If you update now you might solve the problem or more likely have to start completely over. A better suggestion would be to get a copy of ZoneMinder LiveCD 1.23.3 or better yet ZoneMinder 1.24.2 on Arch Linux live CD from Linuxtracker, boot it (don't install), and configure a monitor (camera). If you get it working the problem is in the Ubuntu install. Be sure to use 320*240 resolution, greyscale, and device path of /dev/video0, with a channel of 0. Toggle the Vfl choice between 1 and 2; and try both ntsc and pal. Ross' live CD's are very valuable for this type of troubleshooting.

ok i cant download torrent at work but will give this a try after i download it at home. I also was browsing the capture file size for pvr 150 and pvr 250 cards. Heres the info i got. So should i be putting this information in zoneminder.bb99 wrote:If you update now you might solve the problem or more likely have to start completely over.

After playing with the /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv file i am seeing these errors in dmesg. Here is exactly what is in the modprobe.d/ivtv file.

Now when i run these commands:

root@camera-pc:~# cat /dev/video0 > /home/joe/test_capture.mpg (works)
The dmsg | grep Intialized shows Video1 is there. I really dont get this.

I was under the impression you were working on one card at a time, if I'm wrong pull the 250 out for now; it's much harder to get two working initially. Do this with the 1.24.2 live CD also, remember: the idea for now is to just get it working then make changes.
The settings mentioned earlier belong on the monitor -> source tab when setting up the monitor. If the values I've posted (widely supported by capture cards) don't work you can substitute the resolution values you've listed.
Just brought up a seed for both LiveCD's mentioned earlier, should be able to bump up your download by at least 250 - 300 kB/sec.

Just to be sure, did you get a look at this: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... deo+output

yeah i seen this post yesterday and thinking the pvr-150 is not supported so looking for more open-source security camera software for linux but not having much luck. I also have a q-see 4 channel dvr pci card but on on the q-see site it only shows supported in windows and tried to search google linux for it but no luck. I was thinking of just putting the card in and seeing if linux would recognize it.bb99 wrote:Just to be sure, did you get a look at this: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... deo+output
