Thanks for that brian...wrong forum? I have the cameras in red/orange again. I think the shared memory issue is back. In /tmp I have: zmaudit.log zmdc.sock zmfilter.log zmpkg.log zmwatch.log which shows the following: 01/12/10 18:11:11.326012 zmwatch[2652].ERR [Can't get shared memory id '7a6d0004',...

Thanks for the reply. I did have an issue with shared memory. The session that I was working before the post I had the cameras in orange. I checked the zmwatch.log ??(cant see it at moment because I am on different computer) and it had errors about shared Mem. I was going to post about it but when I...

Hi all, I have been struggling on and off with zm since Aug 2009, I am yet to have any success. However I feel that I am now in reach of getting this working.

I have got the location (/dev/video0) to turn orange for a while (about 5mins) twice. How ever when i tried to view the camera output i got the dreaded black screen. The location then went red again.

Any ideas any body?

I'm still not getting any joy with this webcam. I have moved back to Jaunty and I am now back to where I started...trying to install a new monitor.

I am a bit lost as to what info to give zoneminder...the web cam is /dev/video0, and on cheese the screen is 352 by 288. What else does zoneminder need?

bai...Tx for the reply. No luck yet but i will soldier on. Of note I too have noticed that the routine posted for Jaunty doesnt work for Karmic. When I reboot and try to get zoneminder up on ff with the http://localhost command it doesnt work. I have tried this twice with two different karmic system...

Thanks for the reply. Its nice to feel there is some support out there re:anything to do with LINUX...its been a struggle but very worthwhile IMO. I have bungled through with the issues I posted last week (obvious in the end!!), however another has reared its head. I am trying to create two monitors...

Hi all As you can see I'm new here. I am also relatively new to LINUX...been using Ubuntu for about a year now. I have a question that is probably quite simple. I have been following the UBUNTU 904 desktop installation guide for ZoneMinder. I have amended the file "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/00...
