I have a relative who's starting Linux. He wants a Stop Animation Program for openSUSE 11.2. Is there a stop motion animation program in Linux? If so, what is it? I could switch to Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian if necessary.
View 1 RepliesHow do I change the motion.conf to get the program from taking several snapshots? It just keeps running on and on snapping pics. Also, how do I get the program to record video whenever it detects motion?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt is really clear that someone spent a whole lot of time figuring out how to show the desktops in an animation when you switch from one to another. Unfortunately, that person did not think about how annoying that might be when one needs to switch back and forth between a couple of desk tops. I am forced to hold my thought for several annoying seconds while this unhelpful animation shows me the desktop path I have taken. Even worse, it also often leaves holes in my windows that remain obscured until I change window content. Sometimes, it is simply too inconvenient or even nearly impossible to refresh the content. So I have to live with this hole in the window. I searched for "switch" in my desktop settings and I've googled for "switch desktop animation", but I'm not thinking of the keyword that the inventor thought of. I don't know how to turn it off.
Brief version: How do I turn off this misfeature?
Is there a program for linux that will start recording video from my webcam when it detects motion? If so where can I download it?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWell, after searching several forums and trial and error, I finally got my builtin webcam to work. Its r5u870 05ca:1836. The only problem I now have is that after a hard boot (system was powered down), I then have to do a soft boot for this to work properly. It seems to me that the problem is the firmware loading. Obviously, doing a shutdown -r means that the firmware remains in the webcam device and then everything seems OK.
After a soft boot:
linus:~/bin # lsmod|grep -e sony -e uvc -e r5u

How to make this all work without the soft reboot?
Just have installed 11.4 on an EVGA X58 I7 LGA1366 platform, 6 GB of RAM, with twin EVGA/NVidia GEForce GTS 250 SLI cards. X11 is configured for the desktop spread across all 4 monitors. I added the NVidia repo, downloaded the NVidia drivers and desktop widget. I am running the default kernel. The NVidia items showing installed via YAST are the nvidia gfx02 kmp desktop graphics driver kernel module for GEForce6xx and newer GPU's, the Nvidia G02 graphics driver for the same version card and the x11-xorg-driver-video-nouveau accelerated opensource driver for NVidia cards.
Graphics performance is horrible-- moving windows results in jittery motion, starting new programs requires a lot of time, sometimes windows leave "trails" and blur when they are moved..... and whenever anything is moved I see (via GKrellm) CPU usage go way up. I am guessing this is to service the graphics. So I am not satisfied that I have the correct driver installed for the video cards. Additionally I question that the noveaux accelerated open source driver is there as well--I would assume that was part of the install package.
From the NVidia page, using their tools to insure the correct driver is selected, I downloaded NVidia Linux-X86_64-260.19.44.run. I do not find this same driver designation (minus the .run) on any of the repo listed drivers in YAST. I assume that to manually compile the driver I downloaded its going to be configure-make-make-install or something similar. I do have (in prep for this) gcc, make and the kernel.src installed. Question is should I uninstall the existing drivers and NVidia packages before trying to build and install the NVidia package that I downloaded directly from their site?
When I turn on my computer I get the three options (boot windows, boot SUSE, two methods). In addition there is this awful animation. It reminds me of cockroaches crawling around on my monitor. (Little penguin images.) How do I get rid of that?

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Mouse still working well during random period of time (it may be less then one minute and more then few hour's from boot up) then instantly stop moving (cursor are freeze) but it still active. Obviously it is not associated with any program, coz it happens even on log-on screen.
One thing make this case unusual - im using Logitech Wireless Desktop MK710 keyboard + mice set. It mean there is only one receiver for both devices. You guessed it, keyboard continues to operate normally after mouse fail! Absolutely normally! Even more, if i connect new wired usb mouse at this time, it will be work well, but not for log... after random period of time it goes freeze too =/ KEYBOARD STILL WORKING

View 1 Replies View Relatedi can handle basics but once i get into coding it confuses me. i downloaded motion and webcam-server onto my other computer on the local network, but all i really want to do is access a live feed from my main box and be able to record a video if need be, for security purposes (we had a break-in awhile back). after starting motion, it saved a few .jpgs to the tmp folder, then i shut it down and restarted it as a test, now it's not even doing that, i'll post the readout of what it spat out in a minute. how do i (1) disable the .jpg saving feature, (2) enable video recording, (3) run it in the background (as a daemon?) without the terminal window being visible onscreen, and (4) access it on the main box? also, i couldn't seem to edit the motion.conf file even though i'm an administrator.

I'm having a problem connecting a motion controller through the Ethernet port. Here is what it does If I connect the Ethernet cable from the computer to the controller, the connection is not recognized. If I connect it from the computer to my router, it will connect automatically. If the computer is connected to the router, and I unplug the router and quickly connect the controller, it will automatically recognize it.Also, when I connect the controller with quickly unplugging the router, I can't manually connect it using the wired connection "Auto eth 2". When I click on it, it thinks for a while and then says Wired Network Disconnected.
Is there a way to initialize the Ethernet port automatically to recognize the motion controller, or is there a way to do it using C++ (that is what I'm suing to communicate to the card since it has special libraries) I find this kind of weird. I want to just be able to plug in the controller and be able to use it.
I'm trying to setup motion detection software with a view to getting pictures emailed to me.
I've had a look at a package called motion, which seems great, except it takes tens of pictures every second during motion.
I am trying to get my system up and running with motion (motion detection software).
After a reboot I have the video device /dev/video0
But then when I start the daemon
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/motion start
is says [ OK ]
but now the devide /dev/video0 is no longer there and motion won't start up.
Code:
Failed to open video device /dev/video0: No such file or directory
The only way to get the video0 device back is rebooting.
When I downloaded the motion detection sw "Motion" I found in the following path: /etc/motion/
motion.conf and 4 thread files in case of using several cameras.
Q1: Which language is that configuration file written?
Q2: I need to collect the source of Motion. Is that configuration file + the 4 thread files which in the /etc/motion directory only the source of the program neither there is some files in another paths I don't know?
