Downgrade to latest stable version of 1.28.x

[Schuhkasten]

Hello,

I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 & as described added source of:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/iconnor/zoneminder/ubuntu trusty main

Now I have installed 1.28.1 & several bugs in my log.

Which version is latest stable & how can I downgrade? Running default version under Ubuntu 12.04 all was fine.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-cache showpkg zoneminder
1.28.1-trusty-2 - 
1.26.5-1ubuntu3 - 

But running it does not work:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install zoneminder=1.26.5
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.       
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
E: Version »1.26.5« für »zoneminder« konnte nicht gefunden werden.

1.28.1 is the latest stable version for Ubuntu 14.04. I recommend you read through this:

If you can afford to start with a fresh install of Ubuntu server it may work better for you.

Hello & thanks for quick reply.

Seems that more of my homecontrol stuff ist not running under 14.04.
Is there a possibility to install Zoneminder 1.28.x under Ubuntu 12.04?

[bbunge]

Well, it may be possible if you can find the source code for 1.28.1. There is a chance that someone has a .deb file tucked away somewhere...

Wow Iam now impressed by the new world of docker, really nice to keep the system clean!
Took me some runs to understand & see how to stop & remove images/containers but seem to work fine now!

My main goal of reducing CPU from old zoneminder version even jumps with docker form 30% down to 12%... So 1.28.x seems to include all proper.

Thanks a lot!

I'm not a fan of Docker. Have to admit that I'm not interested in trying it. I knew it was there so thought it might suit your needs...

[Schuhkasten]

Well, me neither in case of any VM, but server is running fine on 12.04 for homecontrol & zoneminder is only second importance.
As Iam current restricted to 12.04,I seems a greate advantage and saving more than 50% of CPU even when running a "VM", Iam fine having somehow 1.28.x

I case I can install it direkt from PPA, I will switch... Again thanks for hint & relaxing christmas days...

After downgrading the application software to 1.28.1, one also needs to set the dB back to 1.28.1.

Sometimes you can get away with going into the mysql Config table and changing the fields that contain "1.28.109" back to "1.28.1".
This isn't guaranteed to always work, and certainly isn't supported .....but it is what I do when I finish working on a new feature, and I need to go back to a prior version.

Hello,

all runs fin with docker, but suddently & not always it happens, that after a reboot all settings are gone.
Like blank installation, what can I do here?
