"Invalid parameters" when trying to install smartcam

skykooler · 03-24-2011, 09:05 PM

I followed the instructions here

but I get this:

Code:

skykooler@skykooler-desktop:~/Downloads/smartcam/smartcam/src/driver$ sudo insmod smartcam.ko
insmod: error inserting 'smartcam.ko': -1 Invalid parameters

Anybody know how to fix this?

The reason I am compiling from scratch is that the .deb gives me a segmentation fault. I don''t know what's causing that, either.

I was about to follow up and help you, until I clicked on the link. The problem you are experiencing is in that forum. I suggest you read over the posts and come back here and ask questions if you are stuck.

I had the same problem they had on that thread, where I got:

Code:

insmod: error inserting 'smartcam.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

so I did

Quote:

Code:

sudo /sbin/modprobe videodev

then inside /smartcam/src/driver

run as root

Code:

sudo /sbin/insmod smartcam.ko

and now I get the error mentioned. No one else in that thread got the "Invalid parameters" error so I am at a loss as to what to do to fix this.

Are you using v4l?

I have 2008.09.18.2. Is there a newer version somewhere?
