I did a ' apt-get install libjpeg8-dev ffmpeg' , same error.

I am trying to compile the daily build source on a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot, the latest Ubuntu release. I have slugged through meeting lots of requirements but it still hangs on make of zm with errors: make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/u/zm' Making all in ...

There is another way to solve this on Ubuntu/Debian. One can set the variable TMPTIME in text file /etc/default/rcS to a value greater than the default of zero. TMPTIME sets how old /tmp files must be before they are deleted. So if TMPTIME=3, no files less than three days old would be deleted and ...

I added a few lines to /etc/init.d/zm to create /tmp/zm folder if it is not already there. The problem was I didn't have correct file owner. So I did a chmod www-data:www-data /tmp/zm and it now runs again. Here is the inserted lines so that /tmp/zm is created: --- if [ ! -d /tmp/zm ] ; then mkdir ...

I am seeing this error again when I stop and them try to start the SVN ZM : --- Starting ZoneMinder: Can't connect: No such file or directory at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 349 ZoneMinder::Debug::Fatal('Can\'t connect: No such file or directory') called at /usr/local/bin ...

I got it to start but don't understand how.

- I noticed the folder /tmp/zm did not exist so I re-created it. I reboot system yesterday. I tried to restart zm and it still failed.

- then I cleaned log files in /var/log/zm so I could catch a fresh log of failure

After that it restarted just fine.

I am now getting the similar error. ZM will not start with message: --- # /etc/init.d/zm start Starting ZoneMinder: Can't connect: No such file or directory at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 349 ZoneMinder::Debug::Fatal('Can\'t connect: No such file or directory') called at ...

When I access ZM from my mobile phone it is a pain to enter my username and password. Is there a method to include username and password in the HTML link? For example some systems (lots of cams) allow http://username:password@domain/.... to bypass login prompts. an I do this for a link to enter ZM?

Just to let you know, today I installed a new Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 and used this install guide on this page: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Server_11.04_64-bit_with_ZoneMinder_1.24.x_from_SVN,_FFmpeg,_libjpeg-turbo,_Webmin,_Cambozola And it worked like a charm! One step uses nano to ...

Software updates are very important especially with web stuff open to the internet. I fell-back to using the zoneminder on Ubuntu's Synaptic Package Manager and it is working fairly well. I am now ironing out the bugs, copy+pasting some of the posted scripts. I'm happy with it now.

I hope someday zoneminder proves worthy because I have spent a potload of time trying to get it working reliably. I have the version included as a package on Ubuntu Synaptic Package Manager working OK. I want a virtualbox version. A reliable working current liveCD would be a godsend.It would be ...

I think the Ubuntu update for ffmpeg moved some libraries that the program "zmfix" uses. But that is as far as I got. I think ffmpeg needs any updates it can get for it has a history of security issues.

I tried your ISO now 3 times as a virtualbox virtual machine. I have same experience: after doing standard Ubuntu updates it breaks zoneminder with error that it cannot find libavcore.so.0 , which I think involves ffmpeg. I tried reinstalling ffmpeg but that did not help. The error message happens ...

I have zoneminder 1.24.2 installed on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. It works OK if I use Firefox for the browser but if I use my preferred browser, Google Chrome, none of the videos display. I am running up-to-date version of Chrome, version 10.0.648.205 Does anyone have a clue why Chrome won't work with ...
