error on garuda X64, with zen kernel 5.11.15, nvidia graphics card with the 465.24.02 driver version and gnome 40. #73

i got the error ¨PANIC Failed to create V4L2 device with id 50¨ when trying to run the mon2cam. before the update of the graphic driver, (and many other things, it was a full system update, but in 3 days the most important thing that i needed to update was the driver) everything was fine and working, and then i got this error.

Honestly I'm not using the latest nvidia driver, it's completely broken and causes kernel panics at boot, i'd just downgrade and see if that fixes it

p3nox commented 3 years ago

well, as said im using garuda (arch based), and i dont know if i can just downgrade, considering the bleeding edge way of the distro (i`m new at the linux world, so if it has a way, i appreciate if you can please tell me how).

ShayBox commented 3 years ago

I use the downgrade package, idk what your repos are like but it'll probably work

p3nox commented 3 years ago

in my researches the only way to make it work, is to use the whole old kernel version. this a thing that is very hard considering that some programs just breaks with old kernels on arch. apparently the only viable way to make it work again on arch linux it´s making a patch. i really like your job, and i really need it, so i`m not happy with the idea of stopping using your program, i would really appreciate your help :)

Well canary fixed screensharing, and I'm able to use v4l2loopback-dkms with both linux and linux-zen latest, I just can't boot the latest nvidia driver

thanks, the canary fixed the problem :)
