[EDIT] Can't install ZM on OrangePiPC+ (Armbian / Debian 10)

Post by laurentp »

Hi there,
I have an OrangePiPC+ (ARM, 4 core, 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM, 32GB uSD) with Armbian (Debian 10 for ARMHF + OPi specific kernel / initrd / bootloader), I have tried installation procedure for Debian https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... an-stretch only changing from "Stretch" to "Buster", it works until "apt install zoneminder", then it fails "no package found". Like it does not recognize repo.
What should I do?

If you followed those old instructions it will have given you the wrong line to add to /etc/apt/sources.list

Use this one instead.
deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.34 buster/

THX, now it works, zoneminder found, it tries now to download dependencies (107 packages).
As I have 2x OPi's, will try on both.

[EDIT]
On second OPi unit, with "OOB" Armbian Buster, some progress:
(2 lines from bottom)
"MySQL/MariaDB not found; assuming remote server.
zoneminder.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it."

[EDIT2]
Same on "first" OPi unit, with Armbian Jessie updated to Buster (same kernel, same initrd but for some reason does not recognize 4 cores, only 1, so OpenHAB2 in java sometimes kills it, only reboot helps).

WIll explore this.

[EDIT3]
apt install mysql-server (from the same manual page),

"
Package mysql-server has no available version, but is referenced by another package
...
E: package mysql-server has no candidate for installation"
(backtranslating from Polish, so message may not be exact).
also apt search mysql shows no package with such name.

Whats next step?

Ok, partially solved:
- on 32bit OPiPC+ package name is "default-mysql-server", NOT "mysql-server",
installed also apache2.
Reinstalled zoneminder package, found "creating zm db".
Now service starts, I can see perl scripts running (ps -ef), but going to http://server_name/zm leads to totally blank page.
a2enmod (all 3 statements) executed.
No errors in Apache log.

What should I look for?

Second question, CAN'T install ZM on 64 bit OPi3 (same(?) Armbian buster but 64 bit).
error message follows:

Code: Select all

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
For some (mysterious to me, but I am new to 64bit world) it looks for 32bit packages (armhf, not arm64).

Last (added as instructed in this thread) of /etc/apt/sources.list are:
#Zoneminder repo
deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.34 buster/

Same question.

I probably havn't built it for arm64.

You might be better off using our do_debian_package.sh script to build your own.

OK, where are instructions about this process? (URL) Compilation isn't new for me :)
