I can't install the droidcam on the solus

Matheus

hello, I tried to install the droidcam, but I can't. I downloaded the programs they ask for, gcc, make and linux-headers, but still the error
`Webcam parameters: '640' and '480'

Already sudo eopkg install -c system.devel executed. This is usually the problem. If that doesn't help, someone with compilation experience should have a look at it.

Matheus

HPF-84E the error still continues, thanks for the help

kyrios

The message says it can't find v4l2loopback for the current kernel so the pretty obvious question is have you installed it ?

Matheus

kyrios
yes, I installed before compiling

kyrios

Matheus read the message again then look at this screenshot.

Hint: the key word starts with c and ends with t 😉

pomon

Show: uname -r and eopkg li | grep headers

Matheus

pomon

Matheus

kyrios I installed them all, before doing the common and current compilation and not installing it ; -;

pomon

For this kernel, install linux-current-headers

Matheus

pomon installed, thank you! but the droidcam won't open

Matheus

pomon I was able to open it by installing libappindicator thank you / obrigado !

Where you able to get the microphone working? I'm running into an error with snd-aloop. I haven't found anything searching the forums yet except for one post referring to 4.9.227-160.lts not having support for this module. I'm currently running 5.6.19-158.current but get this modprobe: FATAL: Module snd-aloop not found in directory /lib/modules/5.6.19-158.current error when trying to run ./install-sound or sudo modprobe snd-aloop. Has this module been left out of the current kernel also?

Matheus

Brucehankins friend, install the linux-current-headers and libappindicator packages and install again

Matheus

Brucehankins how do you place these borders in the text?

Brucehankins

Matheus it's just inserting code, look at the text format looks like this </> for reference.

I'm able to launch and run droidcam , have all dependencies installed, but I can't run ./install-sound. Always comes up with an snd-aloop error.

Matheus

Brucehankins put everything that appears here

Matheus I hit the same issue as @Brucehankins, so here's the output:

sudo ./install-sound
Password: 
Loading Loopback device
modprobe: FATAL: Module snd-aloop not found in directory /lib/modules/5.6.19-159.current

I think it's because the kernel is not built with that module as noted in this post: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/5003-how-to-load-the-snd-aloop-module/3

Looks like we need to request the kernel to be built with said module...
