Doesn't work in ubuntu
It didn't work for me, said it couldn't find the camera. Here's the terminal log: (ubuntu dapper, libusb installed version 2:0.1.10a-22ubuntu1) Note: I'm using the photo camera, not the video camera. Does OPS only work with the video camera? jrobinson@laptop:~$ cd /Desktop bash: cd: /Desktop: No such file or directory jrobinson@laptop:~$ cd Desktop jrobinson@laptop:~/Desktop$ alien bash: alien: command not found jrobinson@laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install alien Password: Reading package lists...

Hi All, I'm not sure why I got all these problems with the M230 camera (fw 53.12): if it because my linux version (ubuntu 6.10) or is due to the camera itself, but I had to do some modification of the source code of ops-for-linux-14 to get this camera working. This is the complete list of all the changes so far, and where I got stuck and I need some help (#5) ;-) # First problem: I couldn't unlock the camera, to fix this I used: forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=4032" target="_blank">http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=4032 # Second (but not real one ;-)) problem: I could dump the directory from the camera, but I got these warnings in the terminal: WARNING: (update_directory_listing.c, 130): unknown file type: 0x5a attr 0x4d WARNING: (update_directory_listing.c, 130): unknown file type: 0x2e attr 0x50 WARNING: (update_directory_listing.c, 130): unknown file type: 0x2e attr 0x42 To fix this I changed the update_directory_listing.c line 128-134 from: default: Log(WARNING, "unknown file type: 0x%02x attr 0x%02x", data.filetype, data.fileattr); case 0x20: thisfileinfo->filetype = FIFILE; break; to case 0x20: thisfileinfo->filetype = FIFILE; break; default: // Log(WARNING, "unknown file type: 0x%02x attr 0x%02x", data.filetype, data.fileattr); break; # Third problem: the "download last movie" button worked, but "donwload file" button did not. The symptom was that only an empty file was generated. The fix was to change the download_file.c file: line 106 add: char my_dir[STRINGSIZE]; line 128 add: if (CheckCameraOpen() == FALSE) return FALSE; change line 133 from: if(ChangeDirectory(currently_selected_file->dirpath)== FALSE) { to //if(ChangeDirectory(currently_selected_file->dirpath)== FALSE) { strcpy(my_dir,currently_selected_file->dirpath); if (my_dir[strlen(my_dir)-1]=='/') { my_dir[strlen(my_dir)-1]=0; } if(ChangeDirectory(my_dir)== FALSE) { # Fourth problem: the "download all movies" button was hunging OPS with the error: Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0xe93)! the fix for this was to change the download_all_movies.c fle: change line 53, from: char* foldername = get_download_folder(); to: char* foldername = data; comment out line 55: // free(foldername); change line 78 from: if (!g_thread_create((GThreadFunc)download_all_movies_start_thread, NULL, FALSE, &error)) { to: char* foldername = get_download_folder(); if (!g_thread_create((GThreadFunc)download_all_movies_start_thread, foldername, FALSE, &error)) { line 83, change from: EnableControls(TRUE); to (add free): free(foldername); EnableControls(TRUE); # Fifth problem (and current one): the "camera setting" button doesn't work. When I click on it I'm getting the following error: ERROR: (usp.c, 598): bad magic2a and nothing cames up; I traced it down to the function: verify_usp_data called by change_camera_settings at line 596 and in particular to the line 184 in the same file: if(memcmp(ud->magic2a, "\x6c\x0f\x00\x03\x00\x01\x15\x03\x01\x01\x01\xff", sizeof ud->magic2a)) But here I stop I have no idea what this mean and how to fix it, so my work around was to comment out the call to this function in line 596: //const char *msg = verify_usp_data(&original_usp.data); //if(msg){ // Log(ERROR, "%s", msg); // return FALSE; //} But off course I don't consider this a fix ;-) Somebody can help me here? Thanks,

ops-for-linux-14 doesn't unlock right, you have to use ops-for-linux-new. and the warnings are there for a reason...it means a problem in coding logic. ygf, enigma, anyone have an idea about the bad magic?

enigma, could you version that link correctly? so far we've had 14, 14-new, and now just "ops-for-linux"

this topic is broken, i cant see page six

you are correct. i can only see it in reply style. unfortunately, now no one will see our posts, since page six is broken.

oh ye of little faith... problem fixed.

heh...thanks billw

Not a problem! :D

i'm going to upload enigma's tarball to sourceforge to make it obvious to people that there's a newer one around. i'm naming it 0.15 unless someone disagrees. (I've only just skimmed this thread so I might be missing something important.) If anyone wants to get in contact with me, my aim's ygfperson, and i'm almost always online. You probably can't rely on me checking the forums that often; it's the last semester of college and I probably won't have time.

i'm publicly announcing that i will be taking the newest source tree , fold in my da-*test*-('")amp folders . i'm a bit dead with gtk programming , but i'll attempt to add in missing features between ops-linux 0.15 and ops-win32 0.21. once they're synced , i'll submit it upstream as ops-linux 0.21

. i'm a bit dead with gtk programming , but i'll attempt to add in missing features between ops-linux 0.15 and ops-win32 0.21. once they're synced , i'll submit it upstream as ops-linux 0.21 Thanks, GTK and C is where I am weak. When I sort of took over the job of maintaining ops for linux it was way out of my league. Python is where I feel much more comfortable as well as bash, if only PyUSB was a bit more documented I would be a lot more useful 'round here.
