If the usual holding [ctrl] and deselecting don't work, you can update the DB directly: mysql zm UPDATE Users SET MonitorsIds="" WHERE Username=Admin; exit Note: I ran into this issue and used the above mysql instruction to fix the issue but it took me a few times to get it right until I corrected ...

@bbunge: Thanks for that! I actually had success with the 1.34 install and zoneminder is now up and running. I now have to actually get my cameras working but that's for another topic!

Cheers,

Before I go and rattle some more cages , I'm going to try out the instructions for 20.04LTS here:

Might as well call this discussion closed.

Thanks to all who replied.

I'm gonna start a new topic now.

I guess I need to move this topic to "ZoneMinder Distributions" as recommended by dougmccrary. Is there a way to do this or do I just open a new topic there and continue on with the discussion?

I am still wondering about the original question I asked: after installing LAMP, am I supposed to skip the operations described in step3, after the words "To better manage"? I don't think that part of my question has been answered. As far as which forum category this posting should be, I don't think ...

Prior to installing zoneminder, I had the root auth plugin set to "caching_sha2_password" (for other reasons not related to zoneminder). The zm user never appeared in the user table of the mysql database when the installer completed. I then had to use the two mysql commands to create the database ...

If the mysql authentication plugin is "caching_sha2_password" instead of "auth_socket" for the root account, then how can the zoneminder installer be able to connect to mysql and do anything? Conversely, if the root's auth plugin is "auth_socket", then how can it be possible to succeed with the ...

Hi, I am performing a new install of zoneminder after my old 16.04LTS machine crashed. I am now trying to install under 20.04LTS and ran into a confusing passage in the installation guide. Under the heading "easy-way-ubuntu-18-04-bionic", at step 3, the instructions state, "Please note that these ...

Update: My server box died a few weeks ago and I am now in the midst of setting up a new (old but new to me) box with Ubuntu 20.04LTS Server Edition. I will then install whatever latest ZM is available and report back with the results.

I "downgraded" to (i.e. uninstalled, purged, and installed) V1.34.15 and Zoneminder still refuses to play recorded events. The "No such file or directory" errors seem to have disappeared but but the event viewer continues to misbehave. I can find the recorded frames in /var/cache/zoneminder/events/1 ...

@rockedge: Thanks for the tip. I did indeed find out the timezone setting was Unset - use value in php.ini . However, I have a question about this: Unset - use value in php.ini means to me that, As long as I am satisfied with the default system settings, I don't have to change this field in the ...

I cannot view any events. When I try to do so, I see only the snapshot image, not the numbered frames. The Progress indicator shows: "Progress: NaN:NaN:NaNs" and the Replay rate is always "Stop". In the logs, I see a huge number of entries like the following: Can't open /var/cache/zoneminder/events ...

Thanks kingofkya!

I knew I was doing something wrong! Do you mean "capture palette"? So, what capture palette setting should I be using? This stuff is all very new to me.
