Hi rickyleeb,

 I'm able to set all the environment variables except the first one, when I run the 'setenv bootcmd' plus all the options, the command is just executed, so, I'm not able to store the value. What's going wrong???

Thank for your help,

PacoLM

Hi,

 Could anyone please write here the default settings for the setenv in a Guruplug server plus?.

TIA,

PacoLM

And this is the log during the boot process:



Hope it helps!

Shout made!

 The guruplug is bricked!. I copied the files to /tmp/kernel, executed as root, now it's hanged decompressing the kernel....

 This is the result of a printenv:

bootcmd=setenv ethact egiga0; ${x_bootcmd_ethernet}; setenv ethact egiga1; ${x_;
bootdelay=3

stdout=serial

Help me please!

Ok, I´ll try it, but before running the script I supose I have to set the setenv variables with the values I have in my guruplug, isn´t it?

Hi,

 My guruplug still has the 2.6.32-00007 kernel, I have some (maybe stupid) questions from a newbie:

 - Where could I find a well explained guide to perform the upgrade?
 - I have Zoneminder setup in my guruplug server plus working fine, will this upgrade erase something?.
 
 Thanks for your help,

PacoLM

Will you pay half of its price for a device that is not working and maybe don't work anymore?

10 euros

Hi,

 My Guruplug is running an application that uses the shared memory in order to enable more performance. It's Zoneminder, and I would like to increase the shared memory settings to allow the app to have more images in memory, so the image analysis could be better. Right now, if I increase these settings (kernel.shmmax and kernel.shmall in the /etc/sysctl.conf file), the limit of time (fps) seems to be fixed, even if I double the memory size.
 After some changes, I wonder if I need to use a newer kernel version (it has 2.6.32), to make these changes work, or if I need to recompile it, or simply, if the shared memory settings are 'fixed' in these plugs, because changing their values does not make any effect in the limit.

 Thanks & Happy Xmas!

Shouldn't be easier to 'upgrade' some users to moderators only to avoid this be cleaning the post of spammers?

Hi,

 I know that some details are missing, let me know where do you get stuck and I (or someone else) could help you. I'm not going to spend more energy writing details in a post with almost 900 readings and only 5 replies from another users....

Hi,

 Which Vivotek model are you waiting?. Please post the results!. What's your nick in ZM forum?


PD:Yo de Castellbisbal...

Hola,

 Yes, one of my ipcams it's a Maygion Ip603, the another a FoscamFI8904w, both working at 320x240, doubling the resolution loads a lot the cpu and the quality of the image is not twice better.
I made some tests working at 640x480, but sometimes I got the well known ZM error "cannot shmget memory", so I decided to leave them at 320x240.

 Do you have it working?. How many cams?.

Saludos!

PD: De donde eres?

Hi,

 Does anyone tried to upload files from a guruplug/sheevaplug to a dropbox account?. Is it possible?. I would like to use this nice application to store the events that my surveillance system is recording.

 Thanks in advance,

PacoLM

Hi,

 Here is a basic guide to setup ZM in guruplug:

- Connect guruplug with Jtag & ethernet (my guruplug is connected to the router)
- Open connection with Putty or another application with serial port control
- To use ethernet backup the init_setup.sh and edit it to show this:


In the same way, I have edited the wlan.sh, now looks like this:

 This is my /etc/sources.list file

- Upgrade the OS by apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, it will upgrade a lot of system apps.

- Install zoneminder, ufw (firewall), preload (speed up processes), postfix (mailer), mailx (mailer) using apt-get install zoneminder ufw preload postfix mailx

- Uninstall (or not start in init.d) lighttpd, if not, it will give you problems of a port being used when starting apache2.

- Setting of shared memory in /etc/sysctl.conf, add this lines to the end
kernel.shmall = 131072
kernel.shmmax = 536870912

 After doing all of this, I have to configure manually something, that I can't recall right now, but the system works perfect!

 Hope it helps,

 PacoLM
