@vup, and @anuejn i have build the webui .. currently it's not showing anything under devices(under open register explorer)

05:51

vup

codetronaut_: nice, i think your problem is, that you have not started the control daemon / nctrl yet

05:52

vup

when running nctrl you need to give it a mountpoint and then link that mountpoint to the nctrl_mountpoint directory in the webui folder

05:53

codetronaut_

i tried running the daemon but it's showign cargo.toml file not found

05:53

vup

how are you trying to run the daemon?

05:54

vup

it should be enough to clone this repository: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/nctrl

05:54

codetronaut_

i have created a folder and then clone the gitrepo and also created axiom_api

05:55

codetronaut_

then proceeded with cargo run -- --mock --mountpoint ./axiom_api camera_descriptions/beta/beta.yml

05:55

vup

that seems like that should work

05:55

codetronaut_

but it's not working

05:56

vup

are you sure you are running this command in the directory you cloned this repository: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/nctrl ?

codetronaut_: you should be running the `cargo run [...]` in the folder containing the "Cargo.toml" file

06:11

vup

and not for example in the folder containing the webui source

06:15

codetronaut_

yes

06:16

codetronaut_

i am running it from nctrl directory but still it's showing error

06:16

vup

can you upload the full error message somewhere?

06:16

vup

(for example to https://paste.niemo.de/ )

06:19

codetronaut_

sure

06:23

codetronaut_

https://paste.niemo.de/eqeriworoc.sql

06:23

vup

ahh ok

06:24

vup

the rust-fuse directory is a git submodule, so you either need to recursively clone the repository

06:24

vup

or execute `git submodule update --recursive --init` to download the submodule

06:25

codetronaut_

ok let me try

06:26

codetronaut_

it's running :D

06:26

vup

nice

06:26

codetronaut_

can i update this part in the docs

06:26

vup

sure

06:26

codetronaut_

in the git repo

@vup, a new error https://paste.niemo.de/ujewofecar.js

07:07

vup

codetronaut_: currently you have to run the control daemon in such a way, that the camera description is at camera_descriptions/beta/beta.yml

07:07

vup

and not nctrl/camera_descriptions/beta/beta.yml as is your case

07:10

codetronaut_

oh now i understand

07:11

codetronaut_

i am already in nctrl file

07:11

codetronaut_

and tried to access nctrl file under nctrl file

07:11

vup

yep

07:19

codetronaut_

are mounting ./axiom_api takes time?

07:20

codetronaut_

*does

07:20

vup

if you are not compiling in release mode yes

07:20

codetronaut_

that means i am not compiling in release mode ig

07:20

vup

(if you use cargo run --release is should be quite fast, i think at maximum about 300ms)

07:20

codetronaut_

07:22

codetronaut_

that means i should omit --mountpoint and --mock

07:24

vup

07:24

vup

just add --release

07:24

vup

so `cargo run --release -- --mock --mountpoint ./axiom_api camera_descriptions/beta/beta.yml`

07:26

codetronaut_

adding --release with --mountpoint and --mock showing error

07:26

vup

what exact command did you run?

07:26

codetronaut_

cargo run --release --mock --mountpoint ./axiom_api camera_descriptions/beta/beta.yml

07:26

codetronaut_

this

07:26

vup

you are missing the `--` between `--release` and `--mock`

07:27

vup

`--release` is a argument to cargo and the `--` means all the arguments after that are passed to the control daemon

07:27

codetronaut_

now added and it's working

07:27

codetronaut_

please tell what does '--' do in this

07:27

vup

if you omit the `--` it thinks `--mock` and `--mountpoint` and so on are arguments to cargo

07:28

codetronaut_

ohk

07:28

vup

the `--` just tells cargo that everthing after that are not arguments for cargo, but instead arguments for the binary cargo executes, in this case the control daemon

07:34

codetronaut_

it's still taking time...should i wait

07:39

vup

what do you mean, by it's still taking time, it should keep running, until you don't need the mountpoint anymore

07:41

vup

it's not like a normal `mount` that you execute once and then it is mounted, starting the control daemon should automatically `mount` the fuse filesystem at the specified mountpoint, but the control daemon needs to keep running to actually answer to any actions (for example reads, writes) on this fuse filesystem

07:41

codetronaut_

i mean after buliding the webui it should show devices under the (registers explore)

07:41

vup

yes

07:42

codetronaut_

so after running the daemon

07:42

codetronaut_

it should show

07:42

vup

did you change the `nctrl_mountpoint` link in the webui folder to point the the axiom_api folder where the daemon is mounted?

07:44

codetronaut_

how should i change it

07:44

codetronaut_

just add axiom_api to this

07:45

codetronaut_

07:45

vup

just `unlink nctrl_mountpoint` and then `ln -s path/to/axiom_api nctrl_mountpoint`

07:51

codetronaut_

it's still not showing devices under registers section

07:51

vup

what does `ls nctrl_mountpoint` show?

07:55

codetronaut_

nothing

07:57

vup

what does `file nctrl_mountpoint` show?

07:57

codetronaut_

this....nctrl_mountpoint: symbolic link to /home/codetronaut/Desktop/nctrl/axiom_api

07:57

vup

ok and what does `ls /home/codetronaut/Desktop/nctrl/axiom_api` show?

07:58

vup

(nothing probably)

07:58

codetronaut_

it's showing nothing

07:58

vup

so is the control daemon running?

07:58

codetronaut_

yes

08:00

vup

can you restart the control daemon with `RUST_LOG=trace cargo run --release -- --mock --mountpoint ./axiom_api camera_descriptions/beta/beta.yml` and give me the output of that?

08:00

codetronaut_

08:02

codetronaut_

https://paste.niemo.de/icimavupob.sql

08:02

vup

it seems like you have linked `nctrl_mountpoint` to the wrong `axiom_api` directory

08:03

vup

it should probably be /home/codetronaut/Desktop/nctrl/nctrl/axiom_api instead of /home/codetronaut/Desktop/nctrl/axiom_api
