Upgrade from 1.22 to 1.23 with .deb - Black screen

Post by Lee Sharp »

Today I was feeling gutsy, so I thought I would try and upgrade. It was a running system with Ubuntu Feisty and Peter's zoneminder_1.22.3-8_i386.deb, running well.

So much for that! :cry:

First, upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy. Works, but no way to test cams. Then upgrade from zoneminder_1.22.3-8_i386.deb to libphp-serialization-perl_0.27-1_all.deb and zoneminder_1.23.2-1_i386.deb and off to the client.

Fire it up, and all black screens. Not much in the logs...
zmdc.log

syslog is fun...

Any thoughts? I may have to just blow away and reinstall due to time constraints, but I want to try and find the problem first...

Solved. The upgrade overwrote all the "fixes" like setting zmfix guid. Go back and fixing those and it works...

That happened to me as well. I thought the whole the was hosed and started over from scratch. Doh.

But I have had to
chmod 666 /dev/video0 everytime I reboot now
and I haven't been able to upload via ftp (it's not finding files (or the wrong files have been specified). Any such experience?
