module video_capture not found

roycdavies commented 4 years ago

I'm running PopOS 20.10. Howdy installed fine, but when I attempt to use it, the following error arises:

roycdavies@starlabtop:~$ sudo ls Traceback (most recent call last): File "/lib/security/howdy/compare.py", line 23, in from recorders.video_capture import VideoCapture ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'recorders.video_capture' Unknown error: 1 [sudo] password for roycdavies:

Try running "sudo howdy config" and set "device_path" to "/dev/video0".

yes, look for one of your camera devices with ls -l /dev/video*, you will get something like this:

crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 4 abr  3 22:33 /dev/video4
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 5 abr  3 22:33 /dev/video5
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 6 abr  3 22:33 /dev/video6
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 7 abr  3 22:33 /dev/video7

and then do as @RedCoder09 said, open config file with sudo howdy config and edit the line for device_path:

# before
device_path = /dev//dev/v4l/by-path/none
# after
device_path = /dev/video4
