1/3rd of the car - complete

If I were to section the corvette into three pieces, and then work on each individual piece to completion, the back third would be complete.

Tonight, I finished connecting the fuel sending unit to the wiring harness (I couldn't find those connectors so used some weather, heat-shrink-tubing connectors after using an ohm meter to find which end was which), reconnected the anti-theft horn to the new wiring harness, and completed the power antenna installation (wonder what it will be like to have sound).

This past weekend, I completed the rear storage compartment doors (but not the latches), running wires for the power antenna and amplifier, and ran the wiring for the door lock actuators.

Earlier today, I was able to complete the inputs from the security system into the relays, grounded where neccessary, and ran hot lines where neccessary to complete those. I also finished connecting the neutral safety switch wiring and relay up (the TKO II can't take the amperage that the starter solenoid requires, so I had to use a relay), and finished wiring everything on the stereo connector except for the speakers themselves.

To complete the interior, I have the following tasks remaining :

1. electrical - The only things remaining on the electrical in the cabin are the security system, and then individual lights. Once complete, the system will need to be verified as operational.
2. adjust the door glass - Once the electrical has been verified, then I can adjust the window glass. I can't install the door panels until the window glass has been adjusted.
3. steering column - this needs to be refreshed, and the ignition barrel (the thing the key goes into) needs to be replaced.
4. dash panels assembled - to finish these, I need to pick up a few parts - a light switch bezel, new duct balls, new center console duct grills, and a speedometer shroud.
5. install the duct work - (after figuring out where things go, this is going to be fairly simple to accomplish - about 10 minutes of work and it would be done) - unfortunately, this has to wait until the electrical has been completed.
6. install the panels - This will be the most visually satisfying task. Up to this point, most tasks have been small, and have not had any "visual" progress. Things like soldering, cutting, adjusting, a lot of "behind the scenes" stuff. Installing the panels will be the final step in finishing the interior section of the car.

Once the above is complete, then it will be to the front end to finish that off. To finish the front end, I must do the following :

1. Connect the fuel lines to the carb (need to feed the double barrel beast).
2. Connect the dual fans to the wiring harness
3. Construct/Procure a headlight actuator system, and paint the headlight assemblies to match the vehicle. This is the part that's gonna hurt - the paint is a three part paint, and the color coat is $300 a pint.

ZoneMinder vs. motion

In the homebrew security project, we're now to trying to tie video cameras into the system with motion detection. After running ZoneMinder for a week, it has only been capturing at 3 fps. That is utterly awful. I needed something better. I decided to try the older Linux package, "motion". Unfortunately, CentOS doesn't include a pre-packaged RPM, so I have to build it. I grabbed the source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/motion/files/, extracted it (tar -xzf motion-3.2.12.tar.gz), and then ran a simple configure (./configure) just to see if it picked up the ffmpeg libraries any easier than ZoneMinder.

It found everything. I thought, "this is going to be a cinche!" - but after make :

ffmpeg.c: In function ‘fmpeg_open’
ffmpeg.c:365: warning: ‘v_new_stream’is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/ffmpeg/libavformat/avformat.h:1730)

make: *** [ffmpeg.o] Error 1

Bugger. However, from the dung that I dealt with in ZoneMinder, I specifically remembered that things had to be patched. I didn't see one readily available, so I took the 20 minutes necessary to build one. It's available at http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/motion-3.2.12-ffmpeg-0.10.2-3.patch. That means, here's the process for installing motion :

1. Download the source for motion from http://sourceforge.net/projects/motion/files/.
2. Download the patch :

   wget http://www.silverhawk.net/files/motion-3.2.12-ffmpeg-0.10.2-3.patch

3. Extract the source :

   tar -xzf motion-3.2.12.tar.tg

4. CD into the source :

   cd motion-3.2.12

5. Patch :

   patch <../motion-3.2.12-ffmpeg-0.10.2-3.patch

6. Configure the compile :

   ./configure

7. Compile :

   make

8. Install :

   make install

9. Get a basic configuration :

   cp /usr/local/etc/motion-dist.conf /usr/local/etc/motion.conf

Next up, figure out your camera URL's, and configure the app using the new configuration file /usr/local/etc/motion.conf . Note that this is for a SINGLE camera - for multiples, you will need a separate configuration file for each one! In the configuration file, there are a few settings you should be looking at :

• process_id_file - if using multiple cameras and multiple files, change this to something with the camera name in it. Otherwise, ensure that this points to an appropriate location on your filesystem. In my case, it defaulted to /var/run/motion/, I reset it to /var/run/ and motion-cameraname (e.g. "/var/run/motion-northside.pid")
• width - this should be the width of the camera image. For the TrendNet TV-IP322P, this is 1280 (SXGA setting).
• height - this should be the height. For the TrendNet TV-IP322P, this is 1024.
• framerate - this should be the rate from your camera. For the TrendNet TV-IP322P, this was 15 (at the SXGA setting).
• netcam_url - This is the URL to grab an image from your camera. Again, for the TV-IP322P, I used http://ipaddressofcamera/cgi/jpg/image.cgi - I couldn't use the rtsp:// protocol because the motion package doesn't support H264 or MPEG4 (bummer).
• netcam_userpass - set as "username:password".
• pre_capture - This is the number of frames before a capture event happens that you want recorded, I set it to 30, or two seconds at our frame rate.
• post_capture - This is the number of frames after a capture event that you want recorded. I set it to 30 (or two seconds at our frame rate).
• max_mpeg_time - This is the number of seconds that a generated video file can have (it will start a new one if needed). For this, I set it to 240, or four minutes.
• output_normal - This tells motion to write individual jpegs or images out. I set this to "off", since I wanted videos.
• text_right - Since I want to use multiple cameras, I slightly altered this to include the camera name.
• target_dir - This is where image stills and resulting videos are going to be stored. I tossed this into an apache-enabled directory so that I could easily grab the files from anywhere.
• webcam_port - I set this to 0 to disable the webcam serving - I didn't want the webcam because I can grab the videos via a Nagios alert link (no need to browse).
• control_port - I set this to 0 to disable control - the TrendNet TV-IP322P cameras don't have pan and tilt, so it's pointless to try and control it.
• on_event_start - This is a command line to run when it starts to capture. I used this to run a command that sent a passive check to Nagios stating motion had been detected.
• on_event_end - This is yet another command line event, but happens when capturing stops. I used this to send the passive check to Nagios to change the status back to "no motion detected, all is OK".
• on_movie_end - I use this hook to try and maintain the directory. Basically, once a capture stops, it fires a hook to clean out that target directory of anything more than a week old.
• on_camera_lost - I use this one to fire off another Nagios passive service check indicating we didn't get an image from the camera. This can be used to notify if we lose the camera.

One thing to be aware of is that motion can even be detected when leaves move, or even shadows on concrete change positions. Because of this, another thing to do is to introduce a "mask" for the capture area. To do this :

1. Grab a frame from the camera (also called an image still - you can get one with the TrendNet TV-IP322P by using the http://ipaddressofcamera/cgi/jpg/image.cgi and saving that image).
2. Open the saved image in an image editing program (e.g. Gimp), and use the selection tools to surround all areas you wish to be sensitive to movement.
3. Fill the entire selection with white.
4. Invert the selection.
5. Fill the newly selected area with black.
6. Save the new black-and-white image in a 'pgm' format (e.g. "camera-north.pgm").
7. Copy the image to the server running motion.
8. Edit the configuration file for this camera, and find the mask_file option, uncomment and set this to the full path of the image you just created.

Make sure you set motion to start on boot (in case of a power outage), and also make sure you start it up and get the video files, and congrats, video notifications of motion detection!

TrendNet TV-IP322P and ZoneMinder

A continuation of our homebrew security project, we visit enabling the camera in ZoneMinder. After a harrowing experience with compiling and installing Zoneminder (I'd almost go with the Linux "motion" application instead), I have the TrendNet TV-IP322P cameras working in ZoneMinder. Once Zoneminder is compiled and running, the next thing is to get the settings right to allow Zoneminder to watch the camera and record events.

This required the following settings for these cameras :

• General Tab/Name: the name you wish Zoneminder to have for the camera
• General Tab/Source Type: Remote
• General Tab/Function: Modetect - this is to allow it to detect motion
• Source Tab/Remote Protocol: HTTP
• Source Tab/Remote Method: Simple
• Source Tab/Remote Host Name: admin:password@ipaddress (example : "admin:mypass@192.168.1.23"
• Source Tab/Remote Host Port: 80 (unless you've changed the setting in the camera)
• Source Tab/Remote Host Path: /cgi/jpg/image.cgi
• Source Tab/Capture Width: 1280
• Source Tab/Capture Height: 1024

Verifying brought success :

id	event	monitor	cause	time	duration	frames	alarm frames	total score	avg score	max score
1	NorthWest-1	NorthWest Motion	07/25 12:46:42	13.24 50		30	206	6	11
2	NorthWest-2	NorthWest	Motion	07/25 12:47:04	6.76	24	4	9	2	3
3	NorthWest-3	NorthWest	Motion	07/25 12:47:23	11.43	44	24	226	9	16

However, after attempting to get ZoneMinder to send immediate notifications to Nagios, and also after finding I was getting 3fps out of ZoneMinder, I opted to try a different method, Linux motion. That was simpler to set up, but two downsides :

• ZoneMinder allows multiple "zones" or "sensitive areas" on an image stream, motion only allows one (but it can be more complex than the four sides of ZoneMinders).
• motion doesn't work with multiple cameras very well - you'll have to set up separate motion instances with separate motion.conf files for each one.

So, next up : Linux motion.

ZoneMinder CentOS 6.2 64bit

A continuation of our project, homebrew security project, we need to tie in a security camera. I've started trying to install zoneminder in CentOS for the homesecurity project. So far, I haven't been able to locate an RPM for it, but I should be able to use the source. First, grab the source and prepare to compile it :

1. wget http://www2.zoneminder.com/downloads/ZoneMinder-1.25.0.tar.gz
2. tar xzvf ZoneMinder-1.25.0.tar.gz
3. cd ZoneMinder-1.25.0

I kept having problems compiling, so I'll hold off on the configure line that I was using at the time (until after the errors are described). Those errors were :

zm_mpeg.h:63: error: use of enum ‘PixelFormat’ without previous declaration
zm_mpeg.h:64: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘AVOutputFormat’ with no type

Digging in, I found that my configure was also giving some errors :

Just as an FYI, I was using the ffmpeg-devel package from the rpmfusion.org repositories. For those, the include files are in your /usr/include/ffmpeg directory, not /usr/include. Digging into the configure script, I found a few things I could change to make it compile, so now I will provide the configure line :

CPPFLAGS=”-I/usr/include/ffmpeg -I/usr/include” CFLAGS=”-I/usr/include/ffmpeg -I/usr/include” CXXFLAGS=”-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -I/usr/include/ffmpeg -I/usr/include” ./configure –with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm –with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin –with-libarch=lib64 –with-ffmpeg=/usr –with-webuser=apache –with-webgroup=apache ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zmuser ZM_DB_PASS=zmpass –with-extralibs=”-L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64/mysql” ZM_SSL_LIB=openssl

Then I ran into a segmentation fault. The backtrace looked like :

Splashing a few fprintf(stderr,...) messages throughout the code, I got the zmc command down to the following error:

Zone 1/All for monitor camera-name extends outside of image dimensions, 0, 0, 1279, 1039
Aborted (core dumped)

I added another fprintf(stderr...) line right above the panic line with that error, and pow, I knew what the problem was: the monitor was set up at 1280x1024, and the "Zone" (the motion rectangle) is for 1280x1040. Looking in the DB, yes indeed, the Zone was set badly. I corrected the DB entry, restarted zoneminder, and the camera was STILL showing up in red, meaning it wasn't able to view the camera. So, off to /var/log/messages to see if anything is showing up in there :

Jul 23 12:40:39 security setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing zmdc.pl from write access on the sock_file zmdc.sock. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 5dde3dda-0d7c-47db-8bfd-5ce7e48fb992 Jul 23 12:40:40 security setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing uptime from read access on the file /var/run/utmp. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 17270870-69b2-4101-9955-53415acf164f

Hmmm. SELinux again bites me. After a few runs of grabbing data from the audit log (again, the process is "append the AVC error into a separate log file, run audit2allow, enable the module, and try again. Repeat if necessary.") That got me suddenly into the mode where the source is in yellow, not red (meaning the camera is "operational"). But the camera image kept coming up blank. Back to /var/log/messages :

Next, I simply tried various configurations until I had one that worked. Next - the configuration for the camera.

SELinux/Nagios, and you

I tell ya, selinux almost had me convinced to throw in the towel. I'd find another solution, and then another problem. This went on for the weekend. I didn't throw in the towel, though, because I wanted the system locked down more than the "oh, just disable selinux" crowd would have.

selinux kept preventing nagios from starting up. Here's what I had to ultimately do :

1. temporarily disable selinux : "setenforce 0"
2. start nagios : "/etc/init.d/nagios start"
3. let it run and do it's checks for ten minutes
4. restart nagios : "/etc/init.d/nagios restart"
5. stop nagios : "/etc/init.d/nagios stop"
6. run sealert to build a policy : "sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log" - this gave a "catch all" way to create a new module for selinux.
7. followed the instructions provided by sealert in the previous step on creating and enabling the module.
8. re-enable selinux : "setenforce 1"

However, there was a problem I just couldn't fix. The disk_check plugin would only work on / - not on /home . I figured this was selinux, but I could never see a message in the usual /var/log/audit/audit.log - I couldn't do the normal "throw the audit log file at 'sealert -a' and build a policy, then use that". Thankfully, a nice website came to the rescue (I'll leave out www.google.com's name to protect the guilty). Though the solution was NOT in the immediate results, tweaking the search request finally yielded something that wasn't NRPE related :

http://edvoncken.net/2012/01/workaround-for-nagios-check_disk-failure-in-rhel-centos-6-2/

My hat is off to this guy. It's a one-line command that fixes the problem.

FYI, I have superseded this post - I got very frustrated with recompiling the whole kit and caboodle every time I did an update just to have this running.  So, I opted for the mt-daapd server, and it was easier to install, less external dependencies, and still did everything I needed it to.  Try this post before continuing on!

Okay, I'm finally getting to the point of writing up how I finally got forked-daapd installed on my CentOS 6.2 64 Bit media server. It was a pain, but it works.

My process was : try to configure, compile, and install. If it failed, deal with the problem and repeat.

Simple process, but there was a LOT that was problematic.

First, the dependencies (you will need the rpmfusion repository configured) :

yum install gcc glibc-devel avahi-devel ffmpeg-devel libplist-devel taglib-devel flac-devel libunistring-devel java libgcrypt-devel mxml-devel libevent-devel alsa-lib-devel gettext-devel libconfuse-devel gperf zlib-devel ant ant-antlr ant-apache-bcel ant-junit ant-trax antlr tcl-devel git

You will note that we need a stringtemplate RPM as well (hard to find, so I slapped a copy at http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/stringtemplate-3.2.1-3.jpp6.noarch.rpm). I needed to search a bit for one, as it's not in the regular distro, but grab that one.

This should get ALMOST everything. Note that sqlite has to be recompiled. In order to satisfy dependencies, I rebuilt that into an RPM to replace what was there (this one has the option required for forked-daapd). A few others were not found, so I slapped them together, building a number of these RPM's. Currently, the source RPM's are available here :

http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/antlr3-3.1.1-10.el6.src.rpm
http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/libantlr3c-3.1.3-0.2.src.rpm
http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/sqlite-3.6.20-2.el6.src.rpm

You will also want to install the -devel packages for each one once you've built good system packages. You can seamlessly replace any sqlite packages. Note that upgrades might not work with the custom sqlite, but it's easy to grab the source RPM for the upgraded sqlite, add the param, and then upgrade it manually, then the system should update again.

Once those dependencies are installed, you must toss in mxml (available from http://svn.silverhawk.net/files/mxml-2.7.tar (after compiling and installing, copy the mxml.pc file into the appropriate location, mine was /usr/share/pkgconfig/), and then libavl (available from http://alioth.debian.org/~jblache/forked-daapd/libavl_0.3.5.tar.gz) :

1. Edit the make file, and Comment out "CFLAGS ?= -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mcpu=i686 -w"
2. Add a new CFLAGS Line :

   CFLAGS = -fPIC -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wall -g

3. Replace all "$(LIBRARIES)" variables with "$(LIBRARY)" due to a bug.
4. Save and Close
5. Build and install :

   gmake -f GNUmakefile ; gmake -f GNUmakefile install

Now, open the forked-daapd source code, but grab a specific version (you might need to install git if you didn't get it installed earlier) specific for the iTunes 10.5.x functionality (otherwise it will time out) :

1. mkdir tmp
2. cd tmp/
3. git clone https://github.com/CBGoodBuddy/forked-daapd.git
4. cd forked-daapd
5. git checkout itunes_v10_5
6. autoreconf -i
7. ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-flac --enable-musepack --enable-itunes
8. make
9. make install

To run the app, first modify your configuration (/etc/forked-daapd.conf), and then add a user :

useradd -s /sbin/nologin -M -r -d /var/cache/forked-daapd -c "iTunes service account" daapd

forked-daapd in CentOS 6.2 64 Bit

Hey, folks; I was setting up forked-daapd in CentOS 6.2 (64 Bit), and ran into a few problems. One of the most recent was that the libantlr3c was not being used (headers were found). I found that if I add a --enable-64bit to the configure line (I used an RPM spec file), it will create it for 64 bit, which is really what I needed. I realized this when it kept failing to configure the forked-daapd with an error about libantlr3 and a missing function, and when I looked in the config.log for the error, the linker was ignoring the 32 bit libraries. (If you haven't enabled 64 bit, it is 32 by default, and you would have to use a 32 bit compiler by default if you wanted to). So, there is another quick hack.
