Select timeout error on BeagleBone Black

edit

Hi,

I am testing an opencv video capture code on my BBB (running Debian Wheezy: Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone79 #1 SMP Tue Oct 13 20:44:55 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux) but getting a select timeout error everytime i run the program. Now i am behind schedule of my final year Iris recognition system Project. (In case you want to know why i am going through this video capture code, it is for tracking the eyes then capture an image that will be processed to obtain an IrisCode.)

I installed opencv 3.0.0 following instructions on http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/06/... , but had to turn off ffmpeg (suggested on one of the forums: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31... ) after obtaining a compilation errors but firstly i had compiled ffmpeg from source.

Below is the Video_Capturing code i tested with;

import numpy as np
import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while(True):
 # Capture frame-by-frame
 ret, frame = cap.read()

 # Our operations on the frame come here
 gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

 # Display the resulting frame
 cv2.imshow('frame',gray)
 if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
     break

# When everything done, release the capture
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

After running the code i am obtaining the following information (Note: The frame is only opening when i run the python script in LXTerminal accessed through tightvnc. It is failing to run through ssh);

root@beaglebone:~/Project/Testing# python Video_Streaming.py

(process:1488): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

I'm stuck i need your help.
