I was indeed missing the linux-headers package.

I went ahead and installed 5.5, and the 5.5 headers (I don't know why it wasn't installed along with it), and that seems to make thing work wonders again.

Completely different issue. Thanks a ton for the help.

It's about both; it should match exactly. It looks like you're booting from a different kernel version than the kernel headers you have installed. If you install linux 5.5 make sure you also install the linux5.5-headers. Otherwise make sure you're booting with the correct kernel and have linux_version-headers corresponding to it. In your grub or syslinux boot file, you have to make sure you're booting the correct kernel. This wiki link might help? https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Manjaro_Kernels

Cool, the output of the those for me is:

pacman -Qi linux-headers|grep Version Version : 5.4.28-1

uname -r 5.4.24-1-MANJARO

Should uname -r not have the "-MANJARO" part in it perhaps, or is it just about the version number? I still have the same issue after a reboot, I can update to 5.5 fwiw.

From what i've seen, there's nothing specific to manjaro from keeping this from working. No need for downloading a snapshot or anything else anymore :-] it should all be working as normal @Arndroid You probably have to reboot. Make sure your system is up to date, specifically your kernel and kernel-headers, and try again. You want to make sure uname -r matches pacman -Qi linux-headers|grep Version

@AwesomeHaircut thank you for the support.

I downloaded the snapshot and run the makepkg -si command: ==> Validating source files with md5sums... droidcam.desktop ... Passed icon2.png ... Passed ==> Validating source_x86_64 files with md5sums... droidcam.tar.bz2 ... Passed ==> Extracting sources... ==> Starting prepare()... ==> Starting build()... make -C /lib/modules/uname -r/build M=pwd make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add '+' to parent make rule. make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/5.4.24-1-MANJARO/build' make[1]: No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/5.4.24-1-MANJARO/build' make: [Makefile:4: all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

As you can see, I do use Manjaro, is this the cause of the issue I have? It does seems very similar to the issues others have recently mentioned.

If I can provide further info, please let me know.

Ah nice work @AwesomeHaircut.

fixed?! You guys let me know please :]

I don't mean edit the PKGBUILD @Shaka2u1u I mean instead of running yay -S pkgname or octopi -S pkgname You download a snapshot of this aur. (On the top right of this page, above "Search Wiki" and below "View PKGBUILD / View Changes") Once you have the files, cd into the directory with the PKGBUILD in it and then run makepkg -si

These instructions are generalized for anyone else that might need them, since you already have it downloaded :]
