Installation failed on Ubuntu 16.04

Hi,

I tried to install Zoneminder with the guide provided here:https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

It works until "apt install zoneminder" with failes with:

Code: Select all

It is a clean installation of Ubuntu 16.04 especial for Zoneminder.
I used the PPA: ppa:iconnor/zoneminder

Any clue what is going wrong here?

Ok, found the reason myself.
I activated password validation in mysql, which was obviously not a compatible setting for the installtion of zoneminder.

I removed it in the mysql-console with: uninstall plugin validate_password;

This may be fixed in the script (use a strong password is always a good idea!), or added in the installation wiki.

Aha!



It's not 100% you're getting the package from the PPA from that scrool, either...
