Ubuntu 8.10 Install Guide

[kylejohnson]

Hello everybody.

I have started working on a guide in the wiki for Ubuntu 8.10. After going through a number of deployments, and fighting to get the live streaming to work each time, I think I have figured it out, and wanted to share my experience so that no one else has such troubles.

It is very much a work in progress in the moment. If anyone has any recommendations, contributions, etcetera, please let me know.

I have a question about the wiki.
When I am using a numbered list (#), and then want to show an example of code, I use <pre> - for example:

Code: Select all

#sudo vim /etc/inadyn.conf
<pre>
update_period_sec 18000
username username
password password
dyndns_system dyndns@dyndns.org
alias test.domain.tld
</pre>
#do this next

The problem is that, after using <pre>, the next number resets back to 1.


Question is: What is the best way to show code / file examples, etc, in a numbered list?

Hello!

Nice guide!

I have a suggestion.

Instead of using vim I personally prefer nano.
At least for me is more easy to use.

In my setup, I've add munin to monitor system using graphs via web interface:
http://munin.projects.linpro.no/

To add some features to zoneminder, I install cambozola, jscalendar and mootools:

Code: Select all

wget http://www.zoneminder.com/fileadmin/downloads/cambozola.jar
sudo mv cambozola.jar /var/www/html/zm/

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jscalendar/jscalendar-1.0.zip?download
unzip jscalendar-1.0.zip
sudo mv jscalendar-1.0 /var/www/html/zm/calendar

wget http://www.mootools.net/downloads/mootools-1.2-core-nc.js
sudo mv mootools-1.2-core-nc.js /var/www/html/zm/mootools.js

In my system, since I've also a UPS, i use NUT to monitor and control it:
http://eu1.networkupstools.org/

Hope it helps.

Regards.

Do you have a solution for the bttv problem with the cheap ebay capture cards? My dmesg does not show any bttv. So it's useless to add the "options bttv card=77" line in modprobe.d

Yes. Buy a supported card... Or post more. You card is likely NOT a 77, and if it doesn't show in dmesg, it will not work at all.

my card is definitely a 77, it used to work as that in former ubuntu releases. But in 8.10 dmesg i don't find "bttv" at all any more. I now installed 7.10 (Gutsy) again. It works with the card, but I haven't solved some apache authorisation problems so far.
So I'm sure it's an Ubuntu 8.10 problem.

What does 'lspci' show in both Gutsy and Intrepid? You can check with the Live CD, so you do not need to reinstall...
