Kudos on the quick attention of typing errors. Yet you provided no specifics as to the way to remove "bleeding edge" Zonerminder updates from general Ubuntu updates. A quick edit of Ubuntu /etc/apt/sources.list.d might have been more valuable information to others. However, you received the warm fuzzy from your reply, that's great! ( chuckling )
No, I was NOT aware recent installs of Zoneminder included "bleeding edge" updates with the addition of "iconnor-ubuntu-zoneminder-master-focal.list" in /etc/apt/sources.list.d file pulled along with general Ubuntu updates. I seen NO reference to this fact in recent install instructions of Zoneminder. Had instructions provided a Note: suggesting a choice of "general" Zoneminder updates and "bleeding edge" updates, I would have certainly NOT set the new user's system up using bleeding edge updates option. I can repair his system easily and explain what happened. The breakage just came at a very vulnerable time in his learning curve. Mine as well.
I've been a steady user & supporter (including financial) of Zoneminder since before 2009 and I intend on continuing using and supporting in the future. This is the one and only posting I've made on the forums. I'm an avid "read the docs" reader. I was simply blind-sided by this recent event.
A great many thanks fellas for your time and efforts of keeping Zoneminder the best software on the planet!!
