Hi,

I have followed the instructions in the manual but hit a problem when I enter

apt-get install zm

it tells me I have a broken package - libavcodec2

I am new to linux and can't find this file anywhere else

Thanks in advance,

Oli

I downloaded from here http://ftp.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/pool/ ... /f/ffmpeg/ and used dpkg to install it (and for libavcodec2).

Code: Select all

dpkg -i ffmpeg_0.4.9-pre1-0.2_i386.deb
dpkg -i libavcodec2_0.4.9-pre1-0.2_i386.deb

or whatever is relevant for your machine.

It all seemed to install ok after that.

Hope that helps.

By the way i am newish to linux, been messing with it on and off for years, but this is the first time i've really tried to use it in anger.

Hello,

I'm stuck at step 2 (page 7):
edit - /etc/apt/sources.list
since I do not understand the following lines:

Copy the XS4ALL deb line and change stable into sarge (press ESC and x to delete)
(press ESC and yy to copy, ESC and o to add an new line and ESC p to past)

Copy the XS4ALL line again and change stable into etch

In my file, I don't have these lines. Do I have to insert these from somewhere ?
Here is what I have in my file:

#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

deb ftp://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ stable main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ experimental main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main
deb http://www.spic.net/zoneminder/debian/ ./
deb-src http://www.spic.net/zoneminder/debian/ ./

Is that sufficent ?

Thank's for your help

Some well -meant criticism:

1 - .doc? Why not a html version? It's just a "save as" in openoffice. There are people installing this in bare-bones instalations with lynx as the browser.

2 - Lacks instructions on putting mpeg to work on debian. (i don't know how to)

3 - Any news on a 1.22 version on debian yet?

Thx for your work.

Hi Koenzie,

Many thanks for your Manual. Ie installed and configured zoneminder on my Debian machine as described but with username and password admin I cnnot login. Do you know in which file the Password for zoneminder index.php
is written?

Greetings

hcx

[jameswilson]

its not in there, but if you cant login it could other iisues issues such as cookies etc.
D you need to use debian as the zm distros are a lot easier

[hcx]

Hi koenzi,

Also many thanks for that. I've installed Zoneminder as described and it runs but I cannot login with admin admin. Could you please tell me in wich file I can edit username and password for the web interface?

Best Regards

hcx

by zm distro, do you mean the live cd of zm? i tried it and had alot of bugs n glitches, wich i dont have in my debian install

a few examples (live cd glitches:
browser crashes alot on most machines (firefox)
dimensions of windows appear 50% of what they should be (browser popups and stuff)
zm forgets to add a camera or craps out when you add one
