Temporary install instructions for Ubuntu are located at:

Ubuntu 14.04: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issu ... untu_14.04

Ubuntu 15.x: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issu ... 4_or_15.10

I have also tested the upgrade in Ubuntu 15.10 located at:

Family business will preclude further testing for a week or so...

OS: Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 LTS

Upgrade from 1.28.109 Master to 1.29.0 Master seemed to succeed. However on restarting ZM I got:
'Version mismatch, system is version 1.29.0, database is 1.28.109'

Solved: command ~ sudo zmupdate.pl

Database successfully upgraded to 1.29.0

Many thanks for the great work on the ZM project.

You will need to upgrade the database permissions, too.

Crap! I didn't notice it was pushed to the master and upgraded from 1.28.109 to 1.29.0...

Is there an easy way to downgrade or just bite the bullet and stick with it for the time being?

That said - don't see any real issues for now.

As the lady said, "Where's the beef?" You were running a PPA Master version and upgraded to a PPA Master version....

I know I know - glad it was my own box and not my clients lol. I put his on a hold for everything zoneminder related :p

My Ubuntu box updated to 1.29.0 from the PPA.

I ran the zmupdate.pl script successfully, and I reapplied the permissions grant select,insert,update,delete,create,alter,lock tables,index on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';

Now I'm getting errors such as:
ERR [Bogus number of lines return from query, 0 returned for query SELECT Id FROM Servers WHERE Name='192.168.2.16'.]
Jan 12 08:41:36 igor undef[29547]: FAT [Can't get ServerId for Server 192.168.2.16]

(the IP address is correct).

What should I check/fix for this?
Thanks,
Jay

Here is a link to the WIKI where there are current instructions for installing the master snapshot from the PPA:

https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issu ... 4_or_15.10

https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issu ... untu_14.04

You did not say what instructions you were using...

[GDixon]

Sorry,

I was using the ones here and what I think I did wrong was after doing the update upgrde and then dist upgrade i rebooted instead of just following through. The second time i went back i followed through and didn't reboot until all steps were followed.
