ZM 1.24.2, Ubuntu 9.04

Have set up monitor as modetect and a single zone(less than 10% total image) with preset as fast, high sensitivity. Disk is at 7%. I am unable to trigger any recording. Have tried various settings with no luck.

I have had this working before on an older system and don't remember this much difficulty.

What simple thing am I missing?

Check the actual settings of the zone. Failing that go into Options->Debug and turn on diagnostic images. You will find other images get created that help analyse what is going on.

This has gotten worse.

After checking zmdc.log I noticed that zma was starting but exiting with error. Thinking it may be corrupted database, I noticed that I could not start mysql as any user and so reinstalled mysql. That appeared to go well and I created new database, user and password for ZM.

However, zmdc.log still indicated zma was starting and exiting with error. I have tried multiple methods noted on this forum to uninstall and reinstall ZM but am unable to get a new install. I think I may not be getting a clean uninstall by use of sudo make uninstall and sudo make clean.

Is there a method to remove all traces of ZM so I can start over?

Thanks in advance.

Still working this problem. After running make uninstall I progress without error thru configure>autoconf>automake, however, make fails every time. At present the errors look like:
