Ubuntu 15.04 and ZM 1.26.5

[bbunge]

In case anyone needs to know you can install ZM on Ubuntu 15.04 by following these instructions.

As of this writing there is not a version of ZM on the PPA for Ubuntu 15.04.

AS a test I upgraded a running Ubuntu 14.04 system with ZM 1.26.5. First upgrade went to Ubuntu 14.10 and the second went to Ubuntu 15.04. I was a bit concerned knowing 15.04 used MySQL 5.6 but the upgrade worked and the ZM database was converted to innodb_file_per_table! ZM was not set up to use systemd but used the old upstart.

Now, this was a test system I upgraded and can afford to blow it away and start over. If you do a "production" system I strongly recommend you back up your database first.

Oh, this test system also had Webmin running and it too worked after the upgrade.

Ok, I think I know what I'm doing wrong... I'm running ubuntu 15.04 Desktop 64bit when I should be running "Server". I will make a new boot usb and go from there.

[sprinteroz]

ok I have Ubuntu server 15.04 installed all the steps went fine till the last step could you let me know what I have done wrong...

Error:

root@darrylxx:/usr/src# cp cambozola-0.935/dist/cambozola.jar /usr/share/zoneminder
cp: cannot stat ‘cambozola-0.935/dist/cambozola.jar’: No such file or directory

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:I can not add in the website link says post is spam.
I was able to fix the problem turns out the cambozola-0.935 is now cambozola-0.936

Now ZM 1.26.5 is running on my server.
Also would like to say Thank you for taking the time to write up the tutorial bbunge

How I fixed to the above error:

First I went to this site and downloaded the .tar.gz file from charliemouse website after you have download it move the file to your home folder unpack the file there then go back to your terminal and type:

Code: Select all

 tar xvfz cambozola-latest.tar.gz

I think the command I used was.... then type in

Code: Select all

cp cambozola-0.936/dist/cambozola.jar /usr/share/zoneminder  

Sorry if the command is wrong only new to Linux so still learning this stuff myself

Then do the last few steps of the tut

[bbunge]

For the record there was no error in the install instructions. The version of Cambozola changed and I allowed for that with the instruction: "replace 935 with cambozola version downloaded."

I am currently using Ubuntu 15.04 MATE on a 32 bit AMD Sempron laptop. I downloaded Zoneminder 1.26.5-1ubuntu7 from the Software Center and it shows as installed on my computer. My question is how do get this program running? I understand that I need to run this from a terminal and I am using the MATE terminal. I tried to run the individual programs (zma, zmaudit.pl, and the others) from the terminal, but all I get are messages telling me that I need to specify options or a message telling me to specify a monitor. I believe I need a V4L program and I have VLC Media Player, which I think fulfills this requirement. Also, I believe I need a web browser and I have Firefox. What I do not understand is how to integrate all the individual components, which I seem to have, and get a working software system. Can anyone help?
