    * Under “Actions”, click “New”. “Browse” to the “webservice_fisheye_fix.bat” above.

UBUNTU 12.04 and 14.04

  1. On an exacqVision Server, change the Operating System to automatically login to “admin” following the instructions in KB 39795.
  2. If on 14.04, run the following single-line command in terminal:
    sudo mv /usr/local/exacq/webservice/bin/libz.so.1 /usr/local/exacq/webservice/bin/libz.so.1.disabled
  3. Place the attached webservice_fisheye_fix.sh file in “/home/”
  4. Place the attached webservice_fisheye_fix.desktop file in “/home/admin/.config/autostart/”
  5. In Terminal, run
    sudo chmod 766 /home/webservice-fisheye_fix.sh
  6. Reboot
    NOTE: If your webservice fails to start after the reboot, rename the file back because it does not exist on your system or the webservice is incompatible with the system version:
    In Terminal, type sudo mv /usr/local/exacq/webservice/bin/libz.so.1.disabled /usr/local/exacq/webservice/bin/libz.so.1

To revert:

  1. Delete the 2 files from steps 3 and 4.
  2. Configure the machine to login as “User”, then run this command:

sudo mv /usr/local/exacq/webservice/bin/libz.so.1.disabled /usr/local/exacq/webservice/bin/libz.so.1
