TY both!
It still will give the ame error.
I will try a new HDD when it arrives!

Again, Ty for giving me your time!

TY for your reply!
I am able to connec to, and read a file, in the second HDD even over samba with abother PC running Mint 20

OK, I added the second HDD storage path into the options/storage field: /media/rainer/data/ZM_Data Here is the copy/ paste of the file path shown by Caja File Manager: /media/rainer/data/ZM_Data Here is the error reported by ZM Log (I don't yet know where the log file resides): 2021-01-13 17:05:28 ...

TY
I will add the storage info again and wait for the error, then post!

No telling the storage error was rather silly of me.
I deleted the storage option, so don't have exact verbiage, but, in essence it noted that the storage /media/rainer/data/ZM is not avaliable (or does not exist I think it said)

Hi all, I have a system with 2 HDD's: 750Gig for Ubuntu and another 1Tb HDD meant for ZM storage. I have no problem using any directory on the 1st drive as storage, but have not found a way to use the second.

Please don't think I am complaining: for an open source Linux app, this software is amazing!!! However, some of us Newbies search the internet and are OVERWHELMED with the responses. Myself, i started with the suggested installation guides first. ( for 1.34, not 1.35). When I can into errors, I ...

I found the answer, which of course, sounds quite obvious: I made a new user, as a full rights user. Then deleted the previous user. What was not obvious: While creating new user, the restricted monitor was auto populated with the installed camera. I found out that Ctrl - click on Monitor actually ...

OK, so with tons of help from Magic919, I was able to install/ run ZM on Ubuntu 20.04 Then I got a bit over-zealous, and decided to change the user name from admin to something else. As I could not find a way to do that (changing password was easy), I added another User with Admin privileges (so I ...

WOW!
It actually works! Was able to wiggle through the set up of a camera (with help of installation docs) and camera is streaming and recording.
Now back other tasks at home, but, will try later to figure out storage locations etc.

Did I say Thank You already?

Again, TY!
And, from the posts I see with your avatar, you are helping back A LOT

Now will go and play with chickens (literally, cleaning coop)

OK, I got a ZM screen, Privacy disclaimer type. If this now means it should work, I have to say: You are a genius! You talked a 63 y.o. fairly new to Linux though this! TY TONS I will continue to explore. If this works, hopefully I can reproduce it :) You should write a blog on 'Installing ...
