Of course there are those final hurdles... Cutting to the chase, if I send email to Gmail like this ...

I was unaware of this page, thank you for pointing it out.

Hi asker, Yes, I did install from the PPA. I made this change per your advice and it works. Thanks! start() { echo -n "Starting $prog: " mkdir -p $RUNDIR && chown www-data:www-data $RUNDIR ... to start() { sleep 10 echo -n "Starting $prog: " mkdir -p $RUNDIR && chown www-data:www-data $RUNDIR ...

Hello, I have Zoneminder V1.28.1 installed under Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 LTS. I'm testing with a single Logitech USB camera. Zoneminder runs, I can access the web interface and I've set up a monitor with the camera, but I get no video from it. The Zoneminder console displays (under the Source column ...

I'm new to ZoneMinder and am looking to choose some robust hardware on which to run it under Ubuntu server. The machine will be in a warehouse environment and ideally I hope to find something fanless. What do you use and/or recommend? Thanks, swulf Update: I am now testing on an ASRock Q1900-ITX ...
