Hi I'm running ZM 1.29.0 running on Ubuntu 14.
ZM was installed using apt-get from a repository.
On this version of Ubuntu, no more upgrade are available via apt. Is there a way to upgrade to latest version, without reinstalling or upgrading operating system?

Thanks

Marco

See the Zoneminder WIKI for upgrade instructions.

Hi,
I found this article:
http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... ht=upgrade

as I understand i have to add a repository and do an apt-update and the apt-upgrade.
My question now is about Database, is there a script to run to upgrade database?
All of my settings will be lost?

Regards

Marco

Hi,
I cannot upgrade on Ubuntu 14, because of this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zoneminder : Depends: libavcodec54 (>= 6:9.1-1) but it is not installable or
libavcodec-extra-54 (>= 6:9.20) but it is not installable
Depends: libavformat54 (>= 6:9.1-1) but it is not installable
Depends: libavutil52 (>= 6:9.1-1) but it is not installable
Depends: libswscale2 (>= 6:9.1-1) but it is not installable
Depends: libsys-meminfo-perl but it is not going to be installed


Is there a way to perform the upgrade?

Well, it looks like time to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04!

I tried to upgrade Ubuntu but it fail.
I have to install a new box, but I would likr to preserve settings.
Is there a guide?

Take a dump of the zm database. When the new boxis set up drop the zm database, import the zm backup and run the database upgrade for zm. Doesnot matter if youmove the images as zoneminder will clean up the database when it is started.
