Hi there,
I'm trying to get Gnomemeeting working with my Canon IXUS 400. I've got it connected up through my TV capture card and it works perfectly as the Composite source for xawtv. However when I try running gnomemeeting I get the following error message.
| Code: | Your driver doesn't seem to support any of the colour formats supported by GnomeMeeting.
Please check your kernel driver documentation in order to determine which Palette is supported. Set it as GnomeMeeting default with:
gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" YOURPALETTE --type string |
With xawtv -v 2, I can see my v4l device supports:
| Code: | main: xvideo extention [image]...
image format list for port 112
0x32595559 (YUY2) packed [ok: 16 bit YUV 4:2:2 (packed, YUYV)]
0x32315659 (YV12) planar
0x59565955 (UYVY) packed [ok: 16 bit YUV 4:2:2 (packed, UYVY)]
0x30323449 (I420) planar [ok: 12 bit YUV 4:2:0 (planar)]
0x3 () packed
|
So, I try
| Code: | gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" YUY2 --type string
Error setting value: Failed to contact configuration server (a likely cause of this is that you have an existing configuration server (gconfd) running, but it isn't reachable from here - if you're logged in from two machines at once, you may need to enable TCP networking for ORBit) |
This error doesn't make any sense to me. I'm running gconftool locally, and there are no other gconftool processes running.
Any ideas? |

Hi,
I too was getting the same problem. The soultion, according to a developer I contacted, is to grab the very latest version of GnomeMeeting which has this fixed. Unfortunatly, any version in Portage is out of date (at time of writing, anyway). So you have to grab the CVS from here; http://snapshots.seconix.com/ (scroll to the bottom of the page for the source based CVS instructions). You will need to get CVS versions of all programs, so you should follow the instructions there fairly strictly, even if you have ptlib and openh323 installed.
If you do already have these installed, you should unmerge them, and GnomeMeeting before starting.
| Code: | | emerge -Cp unmerge pwlib openh323 gnomemeeting |
Hope this helps. I'm still waiting for openh323 to compile here... I'll report back when I'm done.

After many headaches, it works, and works well. Worth the effort for bttv users until 0.99 hits portage.
