After installing, error when running

See original GitHub issue

Just as the title says, when I run the program just pop an error, I have already installed all the dependencies, restarted my machine and just to say, I install the program from AUR using yay so, don’t know why the issue.

The error is: PANIC Failed to create V4L2 device with id 50

You have to install the kernel headers for your kernel to get dkms modules to work on archlinux

You also don’t compile from source on archlinux, you use a pkgbuild always, otherwise the package manager doesn’t track the files and keep them up to date.

For those of you running into this on Arch, not knowing how to do this:

You have to install the kernel headers for your kernel to get dkms modules to work on archlinux

Find the linux kernel you’re using: uname -r

Then, using yay (or pacman -S with the specific package name), install the package that matches your kernel version: yay linux-headers should give you something like:

8 core/linux59-headers 5.9.16-1 (9.7 MiB 48.3 MiB) 
    Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux59 kernel
7 core/linux54-headers 5.4.97-1 (9.4 MiB 46.9 MiB) 
    Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux54 kernel
6 core/linux511-headers 5.11.rc7.d0207.g92bf226-1 (9.6 MiB 48.7 MiB) 
    Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux511 kernel
5 core/linux510-headers 5.10.15-1 (9.5 MiB 47.7 MiB) 
    Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux510 kernel
4 core/linux49-headers 4.9.257-1 (7.4 MiB 37.0 MiB) 
    Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux49 kernel
3 core/linux44-headers 4.4.257-1 (6.7 MiB 33.8 MiB) 
    Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux44 kernel
2 core/linux419-headers 4.19.175-1 (8.8 MiB 44.3 MiB) 
    Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux419 kernel
1 core/linux414-headers 4.14.221-1 (8.1 MiB 41.0 MiB) 
    Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux414 kernel
==> Packages to install (eg: 1 2 3, 1-3 or ^4)

Since I’m using 5.10, I chose linux510-headers. Installed the package and mon2cam worked perfectly afterwards.

Thanks @ShayBox !
