Zoneminder in Debian 10

[osmoste]

I did a clean installation of Debian 10 and followed the tutorial in the following link:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_10_B ... e_Easy_Way

Nothing happens when I click on the Add button. And it also has several other buttons that do not work.

[osmoste]

I get the following error message in terminal:

ERR ['zmtelemetry.pl' exited abnormally, exit status 9]

if I give the zoneminder command in the terminal:

zmtelemetry.pl

I get this message back:

Can't locate JSON/MaybeXS.pm in @INC (you may need to install the JSON::MaybeXS module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.28.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28 /usr/share/perl/5.28 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /usr/bin/zmtelemetry.pl line 36.

We asked for some changes to the zoneminder.conf file. It is possible that something else got changed, too. Will look into it...

[bbunge]

OK, Something got messed up when the zoneminder.conf was updated in deb-multimedia

Here is a file that works:

First make a copy of zoneminder.conf

sudo cp /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.sav

Next, edit the file

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf

and replace the contents with the above code.

[osmoste]

It has improved a lot, but it still has problems.
The Start and Stop button does not work.
It starts capturing the cameras but does not display the image. I use the same camera settings in Debian 9 and it works very well.

This error is still present.

778 ERR 'zmtelemetry.pl' exited abnormally, exit status 9 zmdc.pl

Below I put some logs !!!

[osmoste]

I gave up using zoneminder on debian 10
Still not working well. I can't see the camera images.
I better stay at debian 9 same !!!

[clipo]

Is there any plan to update the zmrepo version to Debian 10 using all the built in utilities of the debian base?

I don't really want to install the deb-multimedia and risk breaking my other items.

[iconnor]

I may look into it tomorrow (Wednesday)

[francis3]

I use debian 10 buster from almost three months now.
Rock solid setup.
zoneminder package form deb-multimedia updated today.

Little trouble described here:

viewtopic.php?f=38&t=28286&p=110494&hil ... s3#p110466

The zoneminder.conf for apache2 is from a ubuntu install via iconnor's ppa for 1.32!


Regards,
francis3

[clipo]

Any further with progress with a Debian 10 ZMRepo release of of ZM 1.32.3

Are there any additional requirements not included with the default repo for Debian 10, i.e. higher version of FFMPEG

[felixr]

ZM 1.32.3 is working for me on Debian 10 with the following configuration for apache 2.4 (zoneminder.conf)

felixr,

How did you actually install Zoneminder on Debian 10 via the SID reop, multimedia one?

felixr,

How did you actually install Zoneminder on Debian 10 via the SID reop, multimedia one?

ZoneMinder 1.32.3 in Debian Sid is installed by following bbunge's excellent instructions here. These have been updated recently. If you followed these before the update, it will probably be worth your while to try them again.

Note: If you have the deb-multimedia repository in your sources.list file, you very well may have dependency problems. Get rid of it if you do. It is not fully compatible with Debian.

Required reading for anyone considering using deb-multimedia:

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/FAQ

See sections 2.5 through 3.1. Please pay particular attention to 2.5.2 and 2.6.

[felixr]

I installed Zoneminder from deb-multimedia repo and up to now it's working fine.

If you are using an RPI, the Raspbian repositories have 1.32.3 for Debian 10.
