it seems to detect the webcam, but doesnt show anything in the feed.
#webcam setup

How do you create the stream? With crowsnest? Then send a crowsnest.log
The wewbcam doesn't have to do anything with Klipper and not really anything with Moonraker
Also we got an extra webcam tag that you should choose for webcam related questions
balmy sapphire
oh, and idk what crowsnest?
sullen thistle
Then I ask different. How do you expect to get a stream? Just plugging in the cam and magic?
Crowsnest will provide you with a stream for your cam: https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/

thanks for the unhelpful smart ass response.
before i seen this, i had made a new sdcard with the raspi imager and chose the mainsail img. imported my settings from previous and now even less works.
sullen thistle
thanks for the unhelpful smart ass response.
Sry, but it's just doesn't come to my mind, how people think this whole stuff works. There is no business behind all this so there won't be an all-in-one, just plug and play solution...
MainsailOS tries to simplify the start, but that's all

Then please tell me, what exactly your problem is and I try to help you
balmy sapphire
i build computers, not program them
print was working fine, then i wanted to add cam, added cam in settings and nothing.
never heard of crows nest before, so made new sdcard and now here
i did notice the new bild has the crowsnest logs button, i didnt have that before
sullen thistle

I send you the docs page. Top right there is an installation instructions. No need to reinstall the whole Pi 🙈
balmy sapphire
im am going through the web page but they are over simplified, and imply alot that it doenst explain

That's because there is a crowsnest.log now. The OS is basically just Klipper, Moonraker, Mainsail, Crowsnest and Moonraker-Timelapse, preinstalled

Please explain what exactly you mean, that we can make it better in future
balmy sapphire
ok let me take a look
if im missing it, i dont see where i can find where the uds address is. it mentions default. but when i search folders via ssh, i cant find ish
this is what im getting now
sullen thistle

Ok, that's the moonraker docs now.
sullen thistle
You didn't update... you wiped your whole system...
sullen thistle
like i said, even less works now
And that's why I asked what exactly your problem is. Now I know. Let me search soemthing real quick
balmy sapphire
man, i have worked help desks and customer service, i get it. if you dont like it bro. do something else
forwarning, i dont know shit about this software stuff
so plz. and sry, i need abc
sullen thistle
man, i have worked help desks and customer service, i get it. if you dont like i...
Ok, if we start it like that. I could say goodbye. I'm doing it in my free time for no money....So don't start such a discussion, you can only loose that....
sullen thistle
so plz. and sry, i need abc
Yes, that's why I quickly do the stuff I need and then I ask everything at once what I need
Send me the moonraker.log and klippy.log. You can find those on the machine page in Mainsail
After that open a terminal/putty and ssh into your Pi. Run systemctl status klipper and send the output
balmy sapphire
i think you AND i both are having a day
sullen thistle
i think you AND i both are having a day
Not really. I'm just getting mad if people let their frustration out in the support, as it feels like they are complaining to a corporation but in reality, it's just some dudes doing it in their freetime...
sullen thistle
use pwershell
Doesn't matter. Just had to say it, as some people are not familiar with the term ssh
balmy sapphire
understand ty
ive been poking at linux for years
and if i can poke via windows the better 😉
sullen thistle
Send your printer.cfg
balmy sapphire
sullen thistle
And the output of ls ~/printer_data/comms
balmy sapphire
this is the cfg i backed up
sullen thistle
You have it already on the pi again?
balmy sapphire
yes
about to start it from zero again
ive actually done it so many time im getting fast at it
but these little things like the cam throw me off
besides now i have the old cfg as ref
sullen thistle
The file should be fine ig.
sullen thistle
And the output of `ls ~/printer_data/comms`
Just need the output of that
sullen thistle
It's correct like that
balmy sapphire
why does it say classified?
sullen thistle
It's the chosen username...
balmy sapphire
the defualt is pi isnt it?
sullen thistle
Your discord name is the same
sullen thistle
If you didn't change it, yes. But you had used your previous settings ig
balmy sapphire
ok, im on track here
sullen thistle
Your previous install had already a custom username, so as long as you didn't explicitely told it, not to use those settings, they are reused (small popup before installation)
balmy sapphire
right
i made it a step farther. lol now this
i do apreciate you time and ty for you it. let me swing my axe at it a little more. as i did learn a few bits here.
sullen thistle
i made it a step farther. lol now this
How did that happen?
sullen thistle
cat ~/printer_data/systemd/klipper.env
There are two weird things right now. MainsailOS should have set you the correct klippy_uds in your Moonraker.conf and the path of the config is somehow messed up too
balmy sapphire
ya, thats why i was going to try from zero again without using my backups
also the touch screen on the pi dosent show up anyhmore either
so , zero here i go
sullen thistle
also the touch screen on the pi dosent show up anyhmore either
You don't have klipperscreen installed...
balmy sapphire
i know, its nice when at the printer
sullen thistle
so , zero here i go
Next time just restore the printer.cfg and moonraker.conf. Nothing else. Then everything should be fine. But it's still fixable
balmy sapphire
ok, will try that
sullen thistle
If you edit the /home/pi stuff to /home/classified it should be good
balmy sapphire
or set the user name on the fresh
sullen thistle
You should also check cat ~/printer_data/systemd/moonraker.env and cat ~/printer_data/systemd/crowsnest.env
balmy sapphire
what does cat do
sullen thistle
or set the user name on the fresh
Setting no username should work to ig
balmy sapphire
and tail
sullen thistle
what does cat do
It prints the file
tail should be only the last line ig? not sure tbh
balmy sapphire
likkke cat text.txt would display the txt?
sullen thistle
tail shows the last 10 lines
sullen thistle
likkke cat text.txt would display the txt?
yes
balmy sapphire
but tail is live right?
sullen thistle
tail shows the last 10 lines
If no line count is specified
balmy sapphire
most of the time --help isnt enough, nor is man
sullen thistle
I think it's good enough
balmy sapphire
i do have dyslexia though
ahhhh tail -f
writing these little usb2.0 things are slow as balls
mind if i bs with you a little bit?
sullen thistle
You can, but I don't guarantee fast response
balmy sapphire
understood
what are you thinking about this gpus these days? getting a gree, red, or blue? im thinking of going for a 50xx when it gets here. i have a 3090 now.
sullen thistle
The prices are absurd for team green, but they are still the best if you want most broad compatibility.
balmy sapphire
right
sullen thistle
For myuniversity course I needed an Nvidia card, as there were some hiccups with AMD and OpenGL...
balmy sapphire
i havnt had a red card since before they were ati
sullen thistle
So during the "GPU crisis" I went from GTX1660 Super -> RX6700XT RTX3070 FE -> RX6900 XT -> RTX3080 10GB
balmy sapphire
on windows or lin?
sullen thistle
Only the RX6900XT didn't sell for a higher price, at it was at the end of the crisis. every other card got sold for more than I bough it
balmy sapphire
i keep thinking about the new xtx card but idk
sullen thistle
So during the "GPU crisis" I went from GTX1660 Super -> ~~RX6700XT~~ RTX3070 FE ...
It wasn't RX6700Xt but a RTX3070 FE
balmy sapphire
willing to wait and see what the 5090 does
sullen thistle
on windows or lin?
Windows, Linux would be a more horrific for a Gamer and Games Engineering university course xD
balmy sapphire
ya, had to but a whole pc just to get my 3090
buy*
ya, still waiting for games on linux
better now but still meh
if microsoft would licenese out the directx crap for linux, we would be fine]
sullen thistle
Valve is doing a pretty good job and there are already some good NV drivers out there for some Distributions, but not worth the time imo
balmy sapphire
if im not mistaken
sullen thistle
if microsoft would licenese out the directx crap for linux, we would be fine]
You mean licensing it to Linux or to whom? I don't think Linux would do such a deal, as an open source community..
balmy sapphire
ohhhh, sdcard failed
cheap ass microcenter sdcards
i might have the terms wrong, but linux doesnt use the directx api etc?
sullen thistle
I hope that Microsoft will get something back to the linux community after utilising WSL for a bit. WSL is already a huge win imo. I'm using it a lot
sullen thistle
i might have the terms wrong, but linux doesnt use the directx api etc?
Nope, they are using vulcan only, as directx is only Windows
sullen thistle
So Microsoft would have to develop directx for windows linux
balmy sapphire
if micro would let up on it, the community could make a linux api and bammm
or microsoft themselves
the community is far superior when it come to inovation imo
sullen thistle
or microsoft themselves
I don't think such a thing will happen. An API alone won't be enough.
balmy sapphire
its funny, standards are what make the problem, but if there were a standard that both coulud use ;P
a universal standard?
idk
sullen thistle
the community is far superior when it come to inovation imo
Might be in some points but not all of them. An opensource community still needs a lot more time, as they will do it in their own free time and not as part of a full-time job.
The problem about corporation are the peoples giving the money. They have to be happy, that something will stay. If it doesn't give enough money, they will just shut it down, so no innovation can happen
balmy sapphire
im day dreaming here
sullen thistle
Yes totally xD
sullen thistle
Vulkan, would be some kinda "standard" or more like something supported by different OS types
sullen thistle
ruins everything
But without it, you don't want to live too ^^
Communism might sound great but is horrible in the end, especially as the human nature will never let a full real communism happen
balmy sapphire
agree
i think in a way comism would work but the human nature getin the way for the one or team running it
similar to gov now really
president now is joke to be honest
and why does it have to be old crusty mfs?
sullen thistle
I'm living in Germany. But I think the overall president election is a joke
balmy sapphire
id like someone from today you know
sullen thistle
The whole election system doesn't make sense
balmy sapphire
ya, why do we need to elect a person, when we as a group can just elect the bills, laws etc
sullen thistle
That's not what I meant. That stuff would be way more complicated, trust me
balmy sapphire
idk man, there are still gourps in natives for example that are doing just fine with out all this tech, polices, systmes
we cant even walk down the street and say hi without the other taking offense
sullen thistle
The thing is that you are voting in your state. That state then send people out that should vote the way the people wanted to (they actually don't have to!! 🤦)
Then every state has a different amount of persons voting for them, in a weird way that doesn't make sense either
balmy sapphire
good day mam, ehh wrong, im and a they them idk alien
lol
exactly
we dont seed sub groups
sullen thistle
we cant even walk down the street and say hi without the other taking offense
Living in a small village, here are all people nice to each other (except a small war with our dumb neighbour, he's trying to sue us for everything we do and even his lawyer has enough of him xD)
balmy sapphire
ie united states my ass. united but i need a lic specific to each state to drive, have a hand gun lic. etc
right, thats like every one here
just keep your crazy shit behind yoru front door. stay off my lawn, and we will be find
fine*
omg, failed another, i guess im off to the store
bro, youre an amazing person, ty you for your time and help.
pos sd might have been the whole problem.
