And I want to pass along my compliments on the new skinning too; it looks very pretty. One question: I saw "rearrange montage" in the release notes, is that only the straight Montage, not the Montage Review? I tend to prefer the latter, as it isn't as sensitive to "concurrent stream" configuration i...

The GRANT fix early in this thread worked for me as well, sorting a broken PPA-based upgrade from 1.30.2, to 1.32.3, as covered in a thread elsewhere.

Thanks.

There was a missing GRANT on my DB, likely. I followed the instructions here , and reran zmupdate.pl as root, and it ran ok this time, and zm restarted and I can access it, and all my monitors are there, and all is well. Perhaps those commands should be added to the update script? Sidenote: it reall...

Well, what a bummer. A number of steps in the autoupgrade failed, not including the DB upgrades, and for some reason, all the logging scroll has disappeared out of my terminal scrollback buffer, so I can't see (or post) it. Does the autoupgrade script tee that off to somewhere? The most important pa...

In work. Turns out that the old PPA file in the sources-list.d was automagically disabled by... somebody.

Oh, this is systemd-related?

systemd is evil. I'll stick with the mounts I have. Thanks.

I see I never followed up on this.

I ended up replacing the box with the 4-core i7 it should have been in the first place; I now idle at .8 and don't break 4 with a 12-camera montage review up.

My thanks to all the people who contributed.

Ok. So I should be able to 1) Bring down 1.30 2) Remove the old PPA 3) $ sudo apt upgrade 4) Bring up 1.32.3 and let it do it's upgradingly stuff 5) Bring it back down again once it's done, and then 6) Unmount those 2 deep mounts and put the relevant paths in the configuration manually, at my leisur...

I mean the practice which results in this in my fstab: /zmdata/1/zoneminder/images /var/cache/zoneminder/images none defaults,bind 0 2 /zmdata/1/zoneminder/events /var/cache/zoneminder/events none defaults,bind 0 2 recommended for 1.30. I know there's a ZM term of art for that, but I can't remember ...

'Remove the old PPA first'. Great tip!

The upgrade script, will it automatically unwind the overlay mount thingamajig? Or am I going to have to do that manually before I start the new version?

Yup, confirmed: I'm a doofus. Isaac's PPA now shows up in Synaptic as an upgrade, and I'll run it tonight when I have some time free. Thanks again to Isaac for maintaining a PPA for the package. ${EXCUSE}, but I'll chip in some coin when I can. ( Just now, the variable is filled with "being evicted ...

<sound="screeching brakes">

Sorry; I apparently did not read *closely* enough the Easy Way, where it notes there's a new PPA for each release. I'll go add

$ add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.32

and try again.

Indeed. I strongly recommend -- and I recommend this having been stupid enough to not do it -- that if it's your first ZM install, you install it on a documented/supported platform, even if you have to dredge up a spare box to do that on. Once you've installed it and it works, you'll have aslightly ...

I suppose I should have said that the 1.30.2 install's been running fine for almost 2 years, with 12 cams at 720p on an i7 with 8GB of RAM and 16GB of swap.

I've read the install guide and the wiki Easy Way's and I still have a couple questions. My 1.30.2 install appears to be from APT on the Ubuntu LTS install; the box is checked in Synaptic anyways. But that also appears to be the most recent packaged version for U18. First: is that correct? If not, I...
