Ahoj,

suggestion: Point $url to https://github.com/mirh/smartcam instead of the current sourceforge URL, since the github place seems the now "official" place.

Regards!

I'm afraid you'll have to figure that out yourself, I'm still far from having the time to bootup linux again these days (I mean, not that even in that case I'd have much ideas either, but there's nothing easier and smoother than bisecting when groping in the dark). If you want I can add you to the maintainers?

Something produces error messages after a fresh installation of smartcam (Error! DKMS tree already contains: smartcam-1.4.0):

What is the state of splitting up this package into smartcam-dkms and smartcam?

Regards!

mirh commented on 2021-04-30 14:15 (UTC)

You have to run the bluetooth demon in compatibility mode, and set permissions for /var/run/sdp (see the issues I keep open on my github). Unfortunately I don't have the competences to do much much more than copypasting patches.

And I shelved my linux partition for the moment, so I can't really work on splitting.

When I run smartcam (as root, for debugging, to be sure things work), I get sdp_connect: No such file or directory:

smartcam: registered DBUS service "org.gnome.smartcam"
Found smartcam device file: /dev/video3
smartcam: started comm thread
smartcam: listening on B8:9A:2A:40:D6:D8, port 1
sdp_connect: No such file or directory

Software on symbian phone does not find the client.

Anyone any idea?

I have reported it → here upstream, in any case.

dreieck commented on 2021-04-30 13:31 (UTC)

This package contains a dkms kernel module.

Can you split up this package into a smartcam-dkms and a smartcam (just the userspace software), with approriate (opt)depends on each other?

Thanks for maintaining!

@rageltman: For me, build works.

But depends seems to miss some gtk2 stuff?

Looks like the GTK dependencies are broken:
