View 2 RepliesI am trying to develop an application that uses webcameras (in jaunty), so I found this code here, which gives examples: [URL]. I compiled it on my computer (which has a built in webcam on top that I know works, tested it and it worked in luvcview) and then tried to run it. I get an error message that says:
Cannot identify '/dev/video': 2, No such file or directory
I have located the part in the program where this comes from:
static void
open_device (void)
{ struct stat st;
if (-1 == stat (dev_name, &st)) {
/*dev_name is "/dev/video" btw, defined in main*/
fprintf (stderr, "Cannot identify '%s': %d, %s",
dev_name, errno, strerror (errno));
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}

At the begining, after the instalation of 10.04 in a new laptop, the webcam did not work but with a lsusb I see that the webcam was Webcam 5986:0241 acer. I was not able to config neither use the webcam with any application. After lots of test and forums reading I could not do my webcam to work, and now when I do a lsusb my webcam does not appear.

#assume sudo where applicable

if i write anything to /media/myMtPt it'll go to /dev/sda9..but both /dev/sda8 and /dev/sda9 show same mount point /media/myMtPt.. so if somebody else has to find out (without checking the history) to which one will the o/p go if written to /media/myMtPt then what is the way out?
Is there anyway of identifying which modules and drivers are being used on my machine? A log or app? I have a minimal install and what to install another, this time with only the hardware drivers/modules my machine needs (for instance, I don't need software for Xeon processors as I don't have one, therefore don't want that stuff hanging around serving no purpose).

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a 4 disk software RAID array made up of Seagate drives. Let's name them sda, sdb, sdc, sdd. And let's say SDC is failing. Big question. How do i find out which of the 4 physical drives it is? They all look the same to me when i open up the PC case. Maybe some utility which will load up heavy usage on just one drive and i will try to put my finger on them and figure out which one is vibrating? Or maybe there is a smarter way?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running 9.10 and am anticipating upgrading to 10.04 when it is released next week. I am however, running several packages from PPA's that were simply not working well at the versions included with 9.10 (I know specifically the 64-bit version of Flash and Wine are setup this way).
Since these installs are out of the scope of the official Ubuntu sources, how are these handled when I upgrade? More importantly, since some of these packages were just installed as a temporary fix until 10.04 came out, for some of them I'd like to remove the PPA version and reinstall the default version (since for several of them the 10.04 version has caught up to where it needs to be). Is there any way to identify all packages installed from PPA's on the system?
I'm using the FortiClient SSL VPN free version provided by my University. I can't get tech support from the university OR Fortigate. I have it running on one system, but I have no idea what the sequence of libraries I installed was. I need it to run on a second machine. pstree is only telling me that the FortiClient ssl daemon depends on pppd. I need to know how to find out what else it's using: LibPKCS and the like.

I mean if I see with e.g.: S.M.A.R.T. that an HDD (in RAID) is failing, then I give out the command:
SOMEMAGIC
then I get an OUTPUT, e.g.: 9835923759237489
and then are ther any stickers on the HDD that has a label: 9835923759237489 ? so the hdd that has to be changed could be identified.
When I mount an usb device, I want to get the information contained in the structure usb_device. This information tally with the device which is being mounted now (dev_name). So I want to get, for example, the path where the device will be mounted (/dev/sda) before it is mounted naturally.

I come here every two or three years, when I have some troubles with my graphic card. Indeed, once again. Since last Tuesday, I experience some system freeze. Since yesterday, I must run on low graphic mode. As there has not been any X.org or driver update, I suspect that my graphic card is running down. But I do not know how to diagnose this.
My configuration:
-- Dell Latitude D820 laptop;
-- processor Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.0GHz 667MHz FSB);
-- bi-canal 2x1024Mo DDR2-SDRAM 533MHz memory;
-- graphic card NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M 256MB;
-- 15.4" WSXGGA+ (1680 x 1050) LCD screen;
-- 100Go SATA (7200 TPM)) hard-drive;
-- 8x DVD +/- RW burner;
-- battery 9 cells 85 WHr LI-ION;
-- Bluetooth card for Latitude;
-- Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g;
-- Ubuntu Linux 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope desktop 64 bits real-time kernel.
Some commands results:

Is there any sure-fire way to identify whether the current Ubuntu system is running in Live mode or not? I want to distinguish between Live mode and running from installed HD, and do some processing in boot up script. FYI, in grml, the /etc/grml_cd file only exit in Live mode file system; no such file if running from installed HD.
