Interesting, thanks for this.

I installed the Ubuntu 1.24.1 package on my 9.10(desktop) AMD64.

I'd like to upgrade to 1.24.2 but I'm not sure what's involved. I presume I can use the DEB package above but I'm not sure quite what to do with it.

Do I need to stop ZM/apache/mysql before installing it... or does it handle these things ? Does it upgrade the database automatically ?

Is there a how-to anywhere ?

I have an installed and working ZM 1.24.2 with Karmic and I did the same method. Can I apply the mysql tweak in a working system? Isn't the extant database goes broke?

there is a bug in the debian repo,
you have to modify the file:
/usr/share/zoneminder/skins/classic/views/timeline.php at line 811

I have working server with 4 cameras build with livecd, working fine for some time. I make another server build as described here.
I have the same setup as working server using rtsp streaming but on the ubuntu 64bit server nothing work as expected

I make some tests and that seem for me that rtsp has some problems on 64bit servers

Please help

follow the guide up to downloading the deb but instead use this url as when i tried this the address was no longer found

ftp://www.northern-ridge.com.au/zonemin ... _amd64.deb

and update the install command as needed

i think this was all i needed to install following this guide
the install of the deb may complain about a missing package i can not remember weather it will if it does just a sudo apt-get install (package-name)

should finish the install automaticly

p.s. thanks for the guide other than the above worked like a treat althought i installed server using lvm as this kind of server is very storage needy

any one unsure about lvm a quick google will do the trick

EDIT> just remembered any one using network cams these may not work, this beeing the case apparmor has blocked the activity (you will get a red source in the zm page)

to allow the zm to fetch images from the cams use this command to see any complaints
sudo aa-logprof
then awnser d (say no to the repository)
then it will ask you about the problematic program/package
