Jul 21, 2010I have extracted the WebCamStudio java application into a folder in my Fedora 13 x86_64 installation. I can run WebCamStudio with the command java -jar "WebcamStudio.jar".
I can successfully select sources and view preview etc. However, the bottom status line permanently states "no output". There is no vloopback device to select in Cheese, camstream, Skype, AMsn etc. Does anyone know how I can get the loopback device to work?
I have added my username to the group "video"
I only have /dev/video0 - should there be another module for the loopback device?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSUSE / Novell :: DNS And 127.0.0.2 Address / Loopback Device Lo Has Two Addresses?
Apr 19, 2010We�re experimenting with deploying SUSE 10 SP3 systems and adding them to a Windows domain and DNS. Oddly, when we register in DNS, it gets registered under two address: the real IP address, and the address 127.0.0.2. Also, an ip addr command shows that the loopback device lo has two addresses: 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2.
The above behavior is just on SP3. On SUSE 10 SP2, the lo device has only the 127.0.0.1 address, and the system is able to register correctly in DNS.
Do you know what the 127.0.0.2 address signifies, or how to get rid of it?
Ubuntu :: Code To Access Hard Disk Sectors (LoopBack Device)
Jan 26, 2011I'm kind of new to programming in Linux & c/c++. I'm currently writing a FileManager using Ubuntu Linux(10.10) for Learning Purposes. I've got started on this project by creating a loopback device to be used as my virtual hard disk. After creating the loop back hard disk and mounting it has the following configuration.
Code: $> sudo fdisk -l /dev/loop0
Disk /dev/loop0: 10 MB, 10977280 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/loop0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Now what I want to do is develop a c++ program to read & write files to this loop back device,which I'm using to simulate an actual hard disk,at the blocks & sectors level. So far I've come up with the following code. But I'm still unable to read files from the hard disk one block at a time.
Code: #include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
char block[512]; int length=0;
cout<<"Implementation of the File Handler Read Method..."<<endl;
FILE *f = fopen("/dev/loop0", "r");
if(f == NULL) {
cout<<"Error In Opening the HardDisk File Retuning Error..."<<endl; return -1; }
//Read One Block of Data to Buffer length = fread(block, 1, sizeof(block), f);
/* Do something with the data */ cout<<"Length : "<<length<<endl;
return 0; }
When I run this Program All what I get is the message for NULL. "Error In Opening the HardDisk File Retuning Error...". So I could open the loopback device as a file an access it at the sectors & block level.
Fedora Networking :: Loopback Mtu 16436 ?
Oct 12, 2010Why does the loopback interface has such a high mtu? I get it that it needs to work out even large packets, which is logical but why this specific number? I can set the MTU even higher with the ip link command, so it's not a limitation of the variable used.

Feb 15, 2011I have a server application that uses loopback addresses to open servers on linux machine.
For IPv4 with one line of configuration I can open many servers according to the mask I use for example with 10.10.10.0/24 I can open 254 servers.
How can I do the same for IPv6 ? I am able to add loopback interfaces but only for one host. Is it possible to add for a subnet ?
If not what is the max number of addresses that I can add ?
I also saw that it add the address only to loopback lo and I can add it to lo:3 for example.

Ubuntu Networking :: How To Enable Loopback Connections
Aug 22, 2010I run a webserver Apache2, php5, and MySQL. They are all set up correctly and I can access my website at [URL] I have, also installed, noip2 to update my IP address to no-ip.com for my domain name. Here's the problem: I can access my website through that domain name on other computers, both on internet and on the same network. But I cannot access it from my own computer (using the domain name instead of localhost). I need to be able to access the domain name on my computer because some pages on my website have been defined as the address to my domain name and not localhost. I cannot change this to localhost because if I do then people outside cannot work the webpages correctly. I had the same troubles on Windows before and I simply enabled loopback connections by typing in my private IP address along with the domain name into the Windows hosts file. I use version 10.04.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Setting Up Work Loopback Server
Mar 24, 2010I'm setting up a loopback server for work related testing. I have a small program that needs to be executed through telnet from about 200 IP's on the same network. On the server, I have to set a static ip, enable telnet login, and place my 2 program files in the appropriate folders so it will run. I have been on this for 2-3 days and haven't got far.
My /etc/Network/interfaces file is this...
Auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
The rest of terminal is filled up with these, and it states that the file only has 32 characters. I don't know if this is a privilege issue or not. I've read several threads on telnet, and lots of arguments about ssh, but I can't run ssh, so I need to enable telnet. There is not a security issue. I run a private network where the only valuable resource would probably be the text file with my IP address on it. Its also accessed by people that have very limited networking knowledge and no linux knowledge...
So,
Set static IP
Setup telnet server...
Any takers?

Ubuntu Networking :: Nat Loopback - Get The Sever Viewable To Everyone Outside Of My Network ?
Sep 1, 2011So I have an Ubuntu server setup but my modem from my ISP only has one ethernet port so I have to run my server behind a router. I have been able to get the sever viewable to everyone outside of my network but when someone is inside my network they have to view the server by the direct IP the web address doesnt work nor does the actual static IP. I believe this is something to do with my router not being able to loopback. It is a belkin N600 DB.

Dec 14, 2010I have a client's linux server where someone added a script which sends spam mails from the server's local loopback address (127.0.0.1) all my seniors worked on it and couldn't trace the script on the server this issue was going for a week, now I have an idea to bring down the loopback interface of that particular server(ya, that was not a permanent solution but just had an idea), but my support manager told that it will bring the whole server down(so far as i have learn't loopback address is used only for testing the NIC card's functionality), is that really bring the server down.?. How ever i tried this using a test machine all the connections works fine even after i bring down the loopback interface. As my client's server is a production server i can't test it there without clear knowledge, can any one help me out whether will it bring down the server or will it cause any side effects on it(i know that you guys are experts so i am asking it here)?

Ubuntu Networking :: All Wireless Stops Working If Loopback Is Enabled In Router?
Jun 8, 2010I'm running a Source Dedicated Server on my Ubuntu laptop, and to connect to it via external IP from other computers in the network I need to enable loopback in my router.This was working fine, but then I disconnected my laptop for a few days, and when I came back the wireless stopped working on my Xbox. I reset the router to factory defaults, and then setup everything again. It was all working fine until I enabled loopback again and power cycled my router. Now every time I do that, the internet on Ubuntu stops working and the wireless on the Xbox stops working.
Edit: You can ignore this I guess. It seems I was actually DISABLING loopback by enabling that router option, which I guess caused this. Strange, because the first time enabling this option was the only way to get my external ip to work. Oh well, everything is fine now.

Fedora :: Loopback Audio To Local Speakers
Apr 24, 2010I am new to fedora. In fact I have not even installed it yet. I have been using a different distribution for some time now. But it has just had an update, and with that I lost the ability to have analog loopback. I need it because I need to record sound from my speakers, and my mic at the same time, and my soundcard does not seem to allow them to be mixed (or at least I could never figure out how). I have been using the analog loopback to add the mic to the speaker sound, then splitting the speaker sound to also feed back into the line in. I then recorded from the line in to get both the speaker sounds, and the mic. But now I guess alsa has taken the analog loopback out, so I need to find another way.
So I am trying out distributions, and I decided to try fedora. I am just running the live cd right now, and I found that if I installed paprefs (pulse audio preferences) there was an option to loop the audio to the speakers. However it does not loopback the sound. I tried the same think in linux mint, and it worked, but but after about a min of this, the sound got distorted to the point where I could not even understatnd what I said in the mic. This happened all of a sudden, not a gradual thing, but one second it was fine, the next it was very bad.
