Thanks for the answers. The 'whereis root' etc. didn't show much. Directly editing (nano /etc/crontab) or becoming root and editing through crontab -e results in editing the same, system-wide, crontab. The answer is in the header where it explains how the system-wide is different from a user crontab ...

Also got this figured out at last. I initially followed the syntax of the cron entries already in root's crontab. The six'th field of every entry in there was the uid ('root'). So, that's what I used as well in the entries I added. But in the cronlog the resulting commands seem to start with the uid ...

Well, dived into systemctl syntax to try grasp dependencies and finally found it. Everything is easy if you know it or done it berfore......... The problem was that I recreated the new file system because I later read it had to be type ext4 and webmin created ext3 by default. After recreating as ...

Ok, I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04, installed webmin and followed the instructions here https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issues_with_Zoneminder_Installation_on_Ubuntu#Use_Systemd_to_Mount_Internal_Drive_or_NAS . With one exception. I created the file system and mount point with Webmin. The result is ...

I may, but I'dd like to learn and understand what it is that I am doing incorrectly. Any clue's?

Thank you.

Experimenting still. Motion detect does not yet deliver the quality I would like to see. Ubuntu 15.10. RAM is 3GB. The hard disk is in the same machine as VB and ZM. Since I'm still trying I continuously delete all events. Disk is still at 83% then. Syslog and ZM log (db) are empty then as well. And ...

Hi, I'm trying to follow the example in the doc here: http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#runstate-cron-example. But not much luck so far. This is what I tried and the result: 1) Added to root crontab (sudo -s and using crontab -e): 0 22 * * 0-6 root /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Test cron.log ...

Hi, Installed ZM on ubuntu on virtual box long time back. Getting back into it. Run into Disk: 100% all the time and ZM goes into stopped state. This is what I did trying to solve it: 1) Activated PurgeWhenFull > 90% filter to run in background. For some reason I still run into 100% disk space. Also ...

Sorrie for the late response. Thank you, it worked.

Followed these "Ubuntu Server 15.04 or 15.10 64-bit with Zoneminder 1.29.0 the easy way" instructions at https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_15.04_or_15.10_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.29.0_the_easy_way to perform a brandnew install. Executing step "apt-get install zoneminder php5-gd" run into the ...

Just tried it....... and it works!!! You saved my day, thx a bunch! Parallel use may have been a problem source as well. Not sure, but I also first tried in VLC an had it working there as well at some stage. So, I may have tried it in parallel. Anyway, this works so this is what I'm gonna keep ...

Just to be sure..... you specified uid/pw twice?

Well... In the ZM GUI in the Monitor definitions, Under de General tab of the Monitor settings I changed 'Remote' to 'Ffmpeg' and under de Source tab I changed: 1) the 'Source Path' setting to '192.168.1.249:554/user=user&password=password&channel=1&stream=0.sdp?real_stream' and the left the ...

Same as https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=23464&p=89440&hilit=error+while+decoding#p89440 . The fix is to change to Ffmpeg. I'm happy to try, however I have no clue how to change the Remote Host path setting (192.168.1.249:554/user=user&password=password&channel=1&stream=0.sdp?real ...
