Could anyone provide (one of) the following packages in .pkg.tar.gz format? I don't seem to find them on the internet and I don't really know how to build them myself.
gqcam 0.9 (ok)
kuickshow 0.8.5 (ok)
xbindkeys 1.7.1 (ok)

kuickshow 0.8.6 is included in kde 3.2.3 graphics
Offline
thanks a lot
so if I do
pacman -S kdegraphics
I'll have it? What else is included? Because I only want to have the most necessary software installed for me personally... so I don't need the rest of what kde offers.
Offline
yes
pacman -S kdegraphics
then pacman tells you what else have to be installed
pacman -Si package shows you dependencies
Offline
xbindkeys 1.7.1
i just made a pkg for it and included it in extra - very good idea for a pkg - enjoy

thanks a lot, just what I needed. 8)

you're welcome
please update the thread-subjet to something that is more percise, like "[request]: gqcam [pending], kuickshow [ok], xbindkeys [ok]"

Done. Anyone having gqcam? I'm getting errors if I'm trying to build it.
Offline
i got no errors what version you use?
0.9 works simple type make in the directory
and it compiles without any problem
Offline
now is gqcam in staging
please test it
and please change the title of the thread

I mean if I try to do makepkg I get this:
[root@Nectar]-[/var/abs/local/gqcam]-5-#> makepkg gqcam
/var/abs/local/gqcam

What do you mean with 'in staging' ?
Offline
staging is TUR's
http://xentac.net/~tur/repos.php
just add in /etc/pacman.conf
[staging]
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/tur/staging
and do a pacman -Suy to update the db, then you should be able to install gqcam

staging repo
there are some repos beside official current and extra called tur repos
have a look at http://tur.archlinux.org
staging is one repo out of them
the package has no make install the binary is located in the build dir and can be copied to /usr/bin
dp you were faster than me ;-)
Offline
dp you were faster than me ;-)
only 2 min :-)

Thanks for your help. The only thing that's missing now is a working artsd, but that's another topic

I tested it and unfortunately I got this error:
/dev/video: No such file or directory
Offline
add this to your /etc/devfsd.conf
#webcam
REGISTER ^v4l/video0$ PERMISSIONS root.users 660
and start gqcam with this command
gqcam -v /dev/video0
Offline
[root@Nectar]-[/home/laurens]-1-#> pico /etc/devfsd.conf
[root@Nectar]-[/home/laurens]-2-#> gqcam -v /dev/video0
/dev/video: No such file or directory
After that I tried:
[root@Nectar]-[/home/laurens]-3-#> gqcam -v /dev/video
/dev/video: No such file or directory
I have the kernel 2.6.7 that was on the cd, I installed qc-usb drivers (and qcset, part of qc-usb, doesn't work either)
What could the problem be?
PS: I also tried a reboot but that gave the same errors.
Offline
This is the first thing that came into my mind while reading... sorry if it doesn't help.
(you may take it as a last solution)
Have you tried using udev (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UdevHowTo)?
Udev with the right symlinks & permissions (+ hotplug) might help you more use the USB cam (by providing the right /dev/ node).
If you choose this way, you should also read the link at the bottom of the Wiki page which provides info on how to indentify your newly added usb device and how to create a /dev node for it.

to have /dev/video0 you must first loadd the module for this hardware

hahah ignorant noob I am... I didn't load the hotplug deamon. I started it manually and got this output:
[root@Nectar]-[/home/laurens]-38-#> /etc/rc.d/hotplug start
:: Starting Hotplug Daemon [BUSY]
... can't load module shpchp

About udev: I don't think I'm ready for this change. I read the udev topic and there seems to be a lot of problems. I think solving one problem by adding even more problems isn't very good
Offline
I have also thought that there are a lot of problems, but there aren't (I only had one, but I got it fixed). There's nothing stopping you from undo-ing the change to udev (you just have to remove a kernel param and "pacman -R udev" - there's nothing dangerous about that).
Another idea: run "hwd" to check what module do you need exactly for your cam (maybe it can detect it, I'm not really sure) + add that module to the MODULES=(..) lines in /etc/rc.conf.
You might also want to upgrade hotplug (if you haven't).

I already upgraded hotplug.

Let's rephrase that to "you just have to remove a kernel param".

I have a rather complicated setup. I'm booting from disc0 into disc1 with lilo. Disc0: dualboot windowsxp - mandrake linux. Disc1: stand alone system with archlinux. I managed to boot into disc1 with the lilo of disc0. If I'm booted in disc1 however, and I try to reinstall lilo, then it overwrites the lilo on disc0. That's why I don't really like to mess with my -currently working- lilo settings. Unless that's the only solution to my problem, I don't think I'll take the risk of losing all my work.
I really hope there's another way to get this working. :cry:
