Upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 with ZM 1.29.0

[bbunge]

I have been working on the upgrade procedures for Ubuntu 16.04 and have finally had a successful upgrade using the default MySQL 5.7! I have left the option to use Mariadb in the procedure so you can choose which database server you want to use.

I have upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 - ZM 1.26.5 and Ubuntu 15.10 - ZM 1.28.1!

Hi,
Please can you confirm that this guide is for Zoneminder 1.29.1 as when opening the URL it refers to 1.28.1:

Ubuntu with ZM 1.28.1 or Earlier Upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04

Upgrade Ubuntu running Zoneminder 1.28.1 or earlier.

05MAY16 This has been run on Ubuntu 14.04 with Zoneminder 1.26.5 and Ubuntu 15.10 with Zoneminder 1.28.1. You have two database options: (1)MySQL 5.7 or (2)Mariadb 10.1. Switching to Mariadb Server is a good thing as it seems to work smoother than MySQL 5.7.

Sorry, I see there is a section for 1.29.1 ignore

Nope... nothing yet for 1.29.1 which is in the PPA for some Ubuntu versions. Latest install instructions are for 1.29.0.
