I have FUBAR'd my ZoneMinder setup when I upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04. I am getting a bunch of errors of saying things like "zmc -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 127". If I attempt to type: "sudo zmc -m 1", it returns: "zmc: error while loading shared libraries: libnppig.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

I have searched for " libnppig.so.11" and it appears to be a part of CUDA Toolkit 11.x but after the update, my CUDA Toolkit was upgraded to 12.6.1 and I can't seem to find any way to get libnppig.so.11 installed. I can't seem to rollback CUDA Toolkit to 11.x due to unmet dependencies. Any advice on how to overcome this crisis?

During an upgrade, ubuntu will often disable ppas. So if you likely are still running zm compiled against 22.04. Check your ppas to enable the repo for 24.04.

I went "scorched Earth" and started from scratch. I took notice of all of my monitor settings (i.e. RTSP URLs, resolutions, PTZ control settings) that I put into an Excel spreadsheet (may not be BEST way to do it but it is A way to do it). I then reformated my drives and rebuilt the entire system from scratch. This helps to eliminate little tweaks that may no longer be relevant and may actually be causing things to be unstable.
