Updated from 18.04 to 20.04 didn't go smoothly but I have zm running now but had to use new database setup

Is it easy to restore config if I have complete backup of all files from old installation - I didn't back up the database though?

I only need camera configs and zone configs

cheers

After a painful upgrade to 20.04 Ubuntu I now have zm 1.34 back up and running. Will I be able to restore my config.. only need camera and zone settings if possible. I have a complete back up of all files from old install but this is not running ... Just files on disk. Is this simple to do? stuart

It would be great to know how easy it would be to get my config back now?

even if its just the camera settings or zone settings

I have a complete backup of my 18.04 disk if there is an easy method?

Finally got it working - I would say its tricky after upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 had 2 problems... to successfully install zoneminder i purged all mariadb packages and mysql packages by typing sudo dpkg -l | grep mariadb and then sudo apt-get --purge autoremove (all packages found with above ...

After the above I still get the same broken depndencies problem as original post... darn.

Could it be that the install script is not working or that my system is confused as to whether it is 20.04 or 18.04?

Also maria db is 10.5

I could find anything relating to mysqld or mysql 8 on my system.
