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 :]
