"Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation error" on Camera() object initialization
alicbelmin opened this issue · 1 comments
Hello guys,
I have been struggling for days with configuring my raspi camera with SimpleCV.
I am making a barcode scanner with a Raspberry Pi 3B and a Raspi V2.1 8 MP Camera.
I have been following this tutorial to recognize the Raspi camera by SimpleCV:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57788
The camera is recognized and running and simpleCV is working as well.
This is the error I am getting when inizializing an object of type Camera():
SimpleCV:1> cam = Camera()
/bin/sh: 1: lsof: not found
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Aborted
Does anyone have an idea on how to deal with this issue? I would be more then thankful.
I am running the latest Raspbian Stretch Lite and have reserved 512 MB of RAM for the GPU.
Hello,
I have resolved the issue.
The problem had nothing to do with simpleCV. The segmentation fault occured because I was working over SSH. When I run simpleCV directly from the Pi, it works without problems.
P.S.
I´ve found out that the Segmentation error is caused by pointers to protected locations and to overcome this, you should run with sudo rights. However, I received another error and did not put more time into solving this. Continued working directly on the Pi.
