It took me a little while to figure it out, so I figured I post it in case anyone else needs it.

1. Log into your ZM computer
2. su to root (type su, press ENTER, provide password: qwerty by default)
3. type: wget http://www.fairpoint.net/~rdmelin/RPMS/ ... k.i586.rpm
+ ENTER to get latest Mandriva rpm
4. type: rpm -U zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm + ENTER
5. type: service zm start + ENTER

Thats it! When you log back into your ZM console you'll be running the latest version and you should still have all of your saved events.

Hi

I installed the LiveCD 1.21.4.

Then upgraded to 1.22.2 using: zm-1.22.2-8_101mdk.i586.rpm and everything nice and dandy.

Downloaded zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm, did a service zm stop and then rpm -U zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm + ENTER and got the following:
Is this rpm for the LiveCD 1.21.4 then rpm to 1.22.2 or is this rpm to be used with Ross Mandriva2006 LiveCD?

Is there anyway of updating at this point where I am at?

Regards!

I installed the LiveCD 1.21.4

This is based on mandrake 10.1

Downloaded zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm

This is for Mandriva 2006. Either from the Mandriva 2006 "ZMDV" installer or the 1.22.2* ZMLiveCD

I no longer maintain a Mandrake 10.1 system so cannot easily rebuild upgrade RPMs for older systems. Since all the tools to rebuild are installed on the older system I could provide a SRPM if someone wants to rebuild for older systems. Otherwise the solution is to move up to a mdv2006 based system. Since the newer LiveCDs allow me to rebuild and test running from the CD, I expect to be able to provide support for these systems for some time.

Thanks for your reply.

I have downloaded the Mandriva LiveCD 1.22.2 but have been having trouble with it. Mainly at installation time (I guess since its emulated and not all graphics like de old LiveCDs) the installation suddenly stops, freezes well into the installation while all the lines are sputtering it just freezes. Other times the installation freezes before getting to the desktop.

I have downloaded the ISO a couple of times and checksumed it.

I am yet to finish an installation with it and get back into the "graphics" mode where the bootloader is written. :-S

If Mandriva is the path you have chosen I see no point on making an RPM for Mandrake 10.1

Ross, do you plan on releasing a LiveCD for the 1.22.3?

Perhaps it will be updated and better polished for my particular issues to go away?

Regards!

I've been working on a Mandriva 2007.0 based CD and it's coming along. I may get it out in the next couple of weeks.

I just set a trial computer and installed the Zoneminder Livecd Mandriva 2006 and tried to install zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm but there is an error.
This is what i did as root.
service zm stop + Enter.
rpm -U zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm + Enter.
warning: /etc/zm.conf created as /etc/zm.conf.rpmnew
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/ZoneMinder/ConfigAdmin.pm;459b2a0d: cpio: read failed - Bad file descriptor

What does it means?

Sounds like you got a bad download. Try downloading again. I'm not sure what state your RPM database is in now. You may need to install using the --force switch.

I uninstalled ZM, downloaded again zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm and try to install it but has the same error.

This is a trial computer. I will format the hard disk and install again from Livecd to see what happends.
I have two computers running Zoneminder installed from Livecd and they are working ok. one with 8 cameras and the other with 4. This trial computer is to learn how to update before i do the update on those computers.

Thanks for your help.
I will let you know what happends.
How is the Livecd on Mandriva 2007?
Will it include support for Serial Ata and raisel file system?

I just installed the livecd again and applied the update as follow

downloaded again zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm
rpm -U zm-1.22.3-4_20060mdk.i586.rpm
warning: /etc/zm.conf created as /etc/zm.conf.rpmnew
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/zm/bin/zmc;459c604f: cpio: read

What chances are that i do not have the correct version?
When i open zoneminder i see "ZoneMinder Console - Running - v1.22.2".

if you are seeing that then it isnt updated
i normally use
rpm -Uvh xxxxx but as it fails to read i suggest downloading it again

I just did urpmi grub
Grub was downloaded but while trying to install it this is the error i get
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /lib/grub/i386-mandriva/stage2;459cf132: cpio: read
Seems to be similar to the one with the update. Something must be wrong in my installation. What could it be? This is a fresh installation from Livecd.

Thanks for you help.

Any updates?

Just to report that finaly i was able to upgrade with the RPM from 1.22.2 to 1.22.3 The problem i had whas with a fresh trial installation and still do not know why. On an already running installation the upgrade was OK. I just had to edit the new /etc/zm.conf.
Now the computer seems to work with less load than it use to on version 1.22.2.

Thanks for your help.
