OK - this might be a pretty basic question or even the wrong place to ask it?

Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS desktop 64bit

I have managed to get 1.28.1 installed and running albeit without the video streaming working - that one I'm working on still.

The process for fixing the install here https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issu ... _on_Ubuntu uses a repo here
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder. This works OK except for the aforementioned missing video stream.

I have also had a bit of a poke around on the website and found this https://launchpad.net/~iconnor/+archive ... /+packages

Looks like a build of 1.28.109?

My question is - Can I download and install this using apt if I add another repo? if so what do I use??
OR
Can I just download the files and use dpkg to install??

The answer to you question is documented here:

Your issue with the video is likely solved by enabling CGI in Apache. See the Ubuntu server section in the WIKI.

I just noticed that there is a new version of 1.28.109 in the PPA master for Ubuntu Trusty and WIley. I have not rin these as upgrades, yet, to see if the upgrade instruction are accurate. I ran the upgrade for Vivid yesterday and added notes to the upgrade instructions. With some family business to do in the next few days I may not have a chance to "test" the new versions. I suspect that the database will upgrade when the upgrade is run like Vivid. I was able to do a fresh install with the Vivid PPA version but have not documented it...yet.

Stay tuned folks... as they say...film at 11:00 (or 2200).

I was able to do a quick verify with slight mods to:

Upgraded Ubuntu 14.04-3 ZM 1.26.5 to current 1.28.109.

Procedure to upgrade Ubuntu 15.10 ZM 1.28.1 to PPA master 1.28.109:

I can confirm that it works for

Ubuntu 14.04 with MySQL 5.6 and Zoneminder from PPA

just add the repo

add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-master

and follow the instructions:)

It even fixed my missing video - yay
