With the release of Ubuntu 20.04, Fossa, due within two months I decided to see if I could get Zoneminder installed on the Nightly Build. I discovered that Fossa currently has Zoneminder 1.32.x in its repository but I wanted to use 1.34.2. So I downloaded the Eoan 1.34.2 files from the ppa and installed them with gdebi. Here goes!

gdebi libmp4v2-2_2.0.0~dfsg0-eoan2_amd64.deb

gdebi zoneminder_1.34.2-eoan1_amd64.deb zoneminder-doc_1.34.2-eoan1_all.deb
Finish setting up Zoneminder
systemctl enable zoneminder
service zoneminder start
adduser www-data video

a2enmod expires
service apache2 reload
It works!
