On debian 10 / devuan 3, in 1.35.20~20210309.53-buster I see the following error for libvncclient shared libraries:

03/12/21 21:57:43.790746 zmc_m2[8088].ERR-zm_libvnc_camera.cpp/26 [Error loading libvncclient: libvncclient.so: cannot open shared object file: No such>

So I checked. The dependency for libvncclient1 is already satisfied in the controls for the zm debian package.
so i needed a symlink from

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvncclient.so.1
to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvncclient.so

as the so file does not exist in buster.

I installed tightvnc on windows, with a view only user. In ZM, there is no requirement to set the
username. I did set a password. I set the FPS limit to about 3, as by default its 80FPS.
It was using up 80% of the core 2 cpu. So a limit is advised for VNC. At 3 fps, load is about 6%. FPS Limit seems to work, as in local mode. I tested jpeg, and h264 encoding. No issues there.

See attached for some graphical glitches in the pale moon browser, and an example configuration for reference. Overall, it looks solid.

Also, there is an issue with the DB creation on buster / devuan. It looks like whatever dpkg is doing in zoneminder.postinst is failing. What happens is that the numbers don't show in the web console for day,week,month, etc for a monitor. They do show totals. When I try to run the zm_create.sql I get the following error below. This is resolved with a drop database zm; and recreating the db from scratch as shown. To be clear, I have Mariadb.

Code: Select all

# mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 1042: Table 'Sessions' already exists

(in mysql)
drop database zm;
(then)
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"
