terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'

[epgeroy]

Hi there I'm trying to make my IR sensor working. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 and this model is supposed to be "hardware certified"

version

❯ linux-enable-ir-emitter -V
linux-enable-ir-emitter 4.1.5
Developped by Maxime Dirksen - EmixamPP

this is the output for the device that looks like the IR sensor

❯ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
    Type: Video Capture

    [0]: 'YUYV' (YUYV 4:2:2)
        Size: Discrete 1280x720
            Interval: Discrete 0.033s (30.000 fps)

This is what happens with I try to enable it

❯ linux-enable-ir-emitter -v -d /dev/video0 configure
INFO: Ensure to not use the camera during the execution.
INFO: Warning to do not kill the process !
Is the ir emitter flashing (not just turn on) ? Yes/No ? n
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
ERROR: The configuration has failed.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I think I've found the problem. I've pushed a fix.

Please uninstall your current version. Then clone the git and install linux-enable-ir-emitter using the bash script, i.e. sudo bash installer.sh install. (g++ and libopencv-dev are required as dependencies).

Feel free to ask me any questions

Have you been able to test? Does it work? Thanks

Hi, I'm not the OP, but I'm trying to use this for my XPS 13 9315.

I cloned the git repo, ran the bash install script but it still results in the same error for me.

Let me know if I can help.

@davwheat Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I won't have time to debug that problem until February. Which is may be caused by opencv and not by linux-enable-ir-emitter itself.

I just got a notification about this. Sorry I haven't had the time to try again. I completely crashed my drivers moving stuff around, I try again after a fresh reinstall... may at the end of the month, I'll post here whatever I find.

Thank you.

Could you test the last update on the dev branch ? You have to install the OpenCV C++ libraries (libopencv-dev package on Ubuntu I think) in order to be able to build the software:

git clone https://github.com/EmixamPP/linux-enable-ir-emitter.git
cd linux-enable-ir-emitter
git checkout dev
sudo bash installer.sh install
sudo linux-enable-ir-emitter configure

Don't hesitate to ask me any question if you need help

[epgeroy]

I did try, but it didn't work (same error). I have a fresh install OS, I'm going to try to make it work today. I'll let you know

Thank you

The v4.4.0 is ready for release. I still have some details to work out regarding Arch. I will drop all the distributions repositories so, I've changed the way how the dependencies are managed.

You can test the deb package: downloadable here

Edit: Please uninstall your current version, and follow the new installation instructions of the README.

Let me know if it fix your issue, thanks !

93 found that the command linux-enable-ir-emitter may not be found.

Here is the fix: sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/linux-enable-ir-emitter/linux-enable-ir-emitter.py

Edit: Fixed in the last release 4.4.2

[EmixamPP]

I assume that the last release fix this problem (and I also tested it in a VM). Feel free to comment to reopen the issue
