Updated to the latest version and won't work

[jeanlikethis]

Hi,

I just uploaded to the latest version: 1.28.104-trusty-2015081901

And it WON"T work anymore. Can's start the zoneminder service. I am using Linux Mint 17.2.

I checked the latest installation folder to the old version folder and found the new version has no files installed at all, see below:

I am using the PPA from: ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-master

I tried to purge and reinstall many times and won't work.

Could anybody tell me how to fix this?

[bbunge]

There are some issues with the version on ZM Master PPA. Recommend you start over and use the regular iconnor/zoneminder ppa

[jeanlikethis]

I got use the new ppa and it works, Thanks.

I'm having similar problems with the latest release. The master ppa installs and zoneminder runs but none of my cameras display an image. The logs complain about socket files missing.

I did an 'apt-get remove zoneminder' and switched to the 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/iconnor/zoneminder/ubuntu trusty main' ppa and now zoneminder won't install at all. The 'apt-get install zoneminder' finishes with:

Database already at version 1.28.1, update aborted.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

[kenneth558]

I have to concur. I was excited to upgrade from 1.28.2 to 1.28.102 so I could test out the ZMNinja, but alas, the upgrade step

Code: Select all

"a2enconf zoneminder"

produced this response

Code: Select all

"ERROR: Conf zoneminder not properly enabled: /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf exists but does not point to /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf, not touching it"

, and I don't know what to do about it. I guess I'll have to go back to 1.28.2 and wait for the fix to come out.

[c128]

Looks like there's an Apache configuration issue.

That can be fixed by:

Code: Select all

cd /etc/apache2/conf-enabled
rm zoneminder.conf
ln -s ../conf-available/zoneminder.conf 

...seeing crashes after that though, as above:

Crashes go away when I remove my one camera that's using Libvlc. However, although the remaining cameras capture, they won't stream e.g. montage view gives:

Excellent - back working again. Thanks!

Excellent - back working again. Thanks!

Well, to a degree

So - from what I can gather from posts elsewhere, there's an issue with libvlc (as in my post above) that hasn't been pinpointed?

Thing is - I have one camera that will only work with Zoneminder using libvlc.
This was working with my prior install zoneminder-master release, but isn't working since the shift to 1.28.102-vivid-2015081801 i.e. in all respects the system was the same with the earlier installed version, and all the other ffmpeg cameras work fine, but now any use of libvlc leads to no picture from the camera and the errors in the log from my earlier post on this thread.

Any inkling of a workaround for this?

[c128]

OK, to put it another way

Does anyone have libvlc working on Ubuntu 15.04 and 1.28.102-vivid-2015081801 (or greater)?

If so, what's your bit of magic?

[bbunge]

You may need to install "extra" VLC components

apt-get install libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc

[bbunge]

I was not able to get libvlc to work with my Foscam FI9821W camera. VLC in Windows does work, though. Ffmpeg does work well!

[c128]

The thing is...libvlc integration worked fine *before* I upgraded from the earlier master snapshot (I have all required components installed).

Since the upgrade to 1.28.102-vivid-2015081801 though...errors.

[c128]

Just upgraded to the newly released master build from the PPA (1.28.106-vivid-2015091801) but still seeing the same thing:

To summarise: this is for a camera that only works with LibVLC...it used to work with earlier master builds on the same system, but with the more recent builds - crashes.

[bbunge]

if it works with libvlc it will work with ffmpeg.
