Problem solved. I ran the rescue program from the install disk and commented out the cupsd.conf file to get the system to boot past cups. I disabled the service when it finished booting. I'm up and running now.

BTW, it tried to load cups whether i loaded the desktop or not.

Thanks all for the help.

Do you have an eta for the FC5 based version?
thanks

I'm doing peices of it in my extra time so it just depends on when I have the extra time and how much of it I have at a time
It should not be to much longer and I hope to release shortly after 1.22.2.

Corey

Will there be a 64 bit version?

Yes, It will follow after the 32 bit version.

Corey

Any luck with the current rpm? i see you have released the 1.22.2 rpm for fc3.

Andy

I haven't released the rpm but it is available for testing (and currently has an issue).
FC3 and CTU3 are basicly the same, CTU is just a trimed version of FC3 with all the needed packages for zm.
Once all the issues are ironed out, I'll place the files in the repo. Once that is done then it will be released and all you have to do to get and install the files is type in a console yum update.

Not to be asking but how long before we have an yum update the setup?

Being very new to ZoneMinder I am having a real hard time upgrading. Keep getting one error or another. Yum Update would help us really dum newbeies.

Thank you it's a great setup. I love it so far. (I wonder if I can install it on CentOS?)

the yum update is not done yet as protection for the newbies as its very new and not fully tested. If you want to try then you can install/update he hard way but we dont want to be supporting errors from newbies who have installed something that was too new! If you want to risk it then please do, but (without sounding harsh as its not meant) if you cant update via rpm, you really dont want to be running the brand new releases

Hey Corey, et al....

I haven't been following too closely lately, but if the project for the live viewer on Linux (the one that grabs from the framebuffer) is working well perhpas Corey you might think of doing an integrated CTU with a lite desktop that would run that.

I think a nice way to get more people into the wonderful world of Zoneminder would be to have it also work like a one-box, dedicated computer security system -- that is you can watch all of your monitors live on the ZM computer's display with minimal additional load.

I was a bit disappointed that the system is not well suited to full-time viewing on the local machine (eg- keeping firefox always in montage on the local machine).

Easy to do?

Looking forward to your next version(s) Corey.

Casey we are working on this but i have not had any spare time to devot to this but the end game is to get a gui for the server

Hi Corey !

I have a question.
I just bought a motherboard that is SBC 'Single Board Computer', with size 5''1/4.
I've just installed the best CTU CD (ZM 1.21.3) and made a "yum update" but after package download i got this message

Key imported successfully
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
public key not available for curl-7.12.3-4.fc3.i386.rpm
Retrieving GPG key from ftp://download.computerntelecom.com/pub/RPM-GPG-KEY-CTU

The GPG key at ftp://download.computerntelecom.com/pub/RPM-GPG-KEY-CTU (0x475C5926)
is already installed but is not the correct key for this package.
Check that this is the correct key for the "CTU Core 3 - i386 - Released Updates" repository.

What wrong ?
Your repository for CTU FC3 is still up to date ?

Best regards,

Oliver

If you search your error i think this has been asked a few times before. I think you need to edit the yum.conf file but im not sure

Hi James,

Yes i asked my question too fast ...
Sorry
I already solved my problem thanks to the great ZM community just set gpgcheck to zero in /etc/yum.repos.d/ctu-updates.repo
This is one way of doing, not the best but working ...
The other one is importing key : rpm --import http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/f ... KEY-fedora
