Hey Thanks for that! My HDD is internal. Picked up a 4TB 5900RPM SATA Surveillance Hard Drive for $65. Definitely not fast and makes a bunch of noise, but so far no issues. My RAM is 8G. The load shown in zoneminder is 1.6. I don't see a load using 'top', but the cpu is mostly around 8% with spikes ...

I believe it's a 4 core processor. I'm not sure about the load average just yet. Since the rebuild I have only one camera set to capture. The rest are just monitors at this time. I wanted to see if I could go a week without a crash before enabling capture on all channels. The Storage setting are tot...

So over the past about two weeks I have found zoneminder not running for one reason or another about three different times. I've been able to resolve the issue with a quick google search. This last time though... not so much. Landed on a hardware issue, but i don't think that's really what it was. A...

So far so good. One small issue. When i install something like nmap for example at the end i get "Errors were encountered while processing: zoneminder". Of course zm isn't showing any camera feed. So i sudo service zoneminder start. And it's working again. Why is installing nmap bothering ...

Ok. Quick recap and update. So lastnight I followed install instructions from these sources https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_or_Desktop_Zoneminder_1.34.x https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu/ https://computingforgeeks.com/install-mariadb-server-on-ubuntu-focal-f...

Got ubuntu installed. Got lamp and zm installed ... mostly. gave a program error detected message at the end. i clicked send report and it said it couldn't send a report. I visited ip/zm and get connection error. going to bed now.

Best,
John

So I was able to get the system to boot but was running very slow and not incredibly responsive. I found logs in var, couldn't copy them because not a super user. So I created a new admin user which is able to copy log files. Insert jump drive and copy a couple files. Looking for other logs to copy ...

Ok. So. My user is no longer a sudoer and I can not log in as root. I try running service mysql start without sudo and I get command not found. Not sure why I'm not in the sudoer list as I was before which is how I did the install. Also not sure if it makes any difference, but the tutorial I followe...

Hello All, So I am quite new to all of this, but I feel I've done pretty well getting two installations complete and running. However, after just a day each has crashed. The first was basically totally frozen. I noticed the screen in firefox which should have been the montage just said ZM db connect...
