Montage display problem

Post by stoneybroke »

I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 running firefox 4.0.1 everything is working ok except for the Montage view window although the cameras are showing and I can resize them using the scale drop down box the layout has stopped working all the cameras are showing in a single line down and I can't get the 2, 3 or 4 grid wide!!

Has anyone else this problem? and if so how did you fix it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi

I don't know if this helps or not, but maybe will help someone in the future, I was having the same problem, for days, weeks, was not able to implement a new server because of this problem:

My platform
root@gvazoneminder01:/usr/share/javascript/mootools# uname -a
Linux gvazoneminder01 2.6.38-8-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:49:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@gvazoneminder01:/usr/share/javascript/mootools# cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l

Zoneminder version: v1.24.2

The problem was the same as described loading the montage view, changing the option to 4-wide grip or anyone (I use 4-wide grid) it was not making any change in the screen, it was staying with the one screen per line

Solution:

the '/usr/share/javascript/mootools/mootools-more.js' was a sym link to the mootools-more.min.js in the same directory, checked with a working zoneminder instance and there it was linked to the mootools-more-nc.js, changed the link to the nc.js and after that work perfectly

root@gvazoneminder01:/usr/share/javascript/mootools# ls -l /usr/share/javascript/mootools/mootools-more-nc.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 277183 2010-10-01 20:33 /usr/share/javascript/mootools/mootools-more-nc.js

mootools version in new server 1.2.5
mootools version in old server 1.2.4

Hope it helps to someone else.

Thank you nillesnm , it helps me great in described "Montage display problem" and in one more place - I can edit coordinates of zones again (for example, see 127.0.0.1/zm/index.php?view=zone&mid=1&zid=1)

IMHO Your post will help to many Ubuntu+Zoneminder users.

Using fire fox gave me this problem. Google chrome gave me full montage usage

Found the same issue when updating my Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04 configuration.

Great find there nillesnm!

Here's the step by step in case anyone else has the problem.

Remove the first symbolic link.
/usr/share/javascript/mootools# rm mootools-more.js
Add the new symbolic link.
ln -s /usr/share/javascript/mootools/mootools-more-nc.js /usr/share/javascript/mootools/mootools-more.js

Box #3 - AMD Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit server - Most current beta 1.28 - XX HD IP cams
Moved rest of analogue cams to Axis Servers and Grandstream cams.
