Ubuntu 18.04.1 Dependency errors

[adiefender]

Fresh install Ubuntu 18.4.1 as headless and installing LAMP: sudo tasksel install lamp-server
added PPA: add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-master
ran: apt update
ran: apt install -y zoneminder

Fixed by updating "/etc/apt/sources.list" with the following

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main multiverse restricted universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main multiverse restricted universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main multiverse restricted universe

Saved and then did:
apt update
apt install -y zoneminder
systemctl enable zoneminder
service zoneminder start
a2enconf zoneminder
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/
systemctl reload apache2

I'm now able to get to http://{Hostname}/zm

Hi, i'm sorry but i have the same problem than adiefender using the script provided by the documentation.
How can install ZM in ubuntu 18 ?

[bbunge]

I have run that script several times in the past few days with no errors!

Edit: I have just run the install script on a fresh minimal install of Ubuntu 18.04-1 with LAMP and received no errors.

https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

Regardless of the type of Ubuntu install you do, you must have LAMP (including Apache, MySQL or Mariadb, and PHP). The easiest way to do this is to run the LAMP install from tasksel. And you must be logged into a terminal with root privileges (sudo su). The install script does work! You can also add the PPA manually and run all the commands manually. Yes, you can use gdebi but I do not have instructions for that.

Oh, your install needs to be up to date:

apt update
apt upgrade
reboot if necessary

Avez-vous installé la LAMP?

[benj29]

Yep !

[benj29]

I start from a fresh install.

Install Ubuntu 18.04 server with no snaps server option
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
wait .... wait
sudo apt install tasksel
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo ufw allow in "Apache Full"
sudo reboot

...

after i stored the script in zm-install, saving.
chmod 755 zm-install
then sudo ./zm-install (not ./zm-install because in the script, it was written doing with sudo or su).

And once again...



No idea ?

[bbunge]

no, you have to become root by doing sudo su, then run tasksel and select LAMP. when tasksel is done run the install script.

If you install with the server CD or ISO install there is an option to install LAMP. I use the net install or mini.iso to install a basic Ubuntu OS without all the unneeded server stuff. That install gives you the option to install LAMP.

If you want to run the commands in teh script manually and prepend sudo to the commands.

But it is much easier to just tun the install script as root bu using sudo su

[benj29]

OK i will try to launch all the command when I'm root.
Here I will install with sudo.

When I read your message, the commands what I have entered are very close to your proposition.

I'm very unsure that is the difference to do in root instead of sudo but I'll try.

Thanks. Keep u in touch.

Could you confirm me the version of Ubuntu or a link to download it? 18.04 server version.

[benj29]

Once again, i follow exactly what you said (or i'm stupid )

- install ubuntu 18.04.1 server version
sudo su
apt-get install tasksel
tasksel
- choose lamp and wait for installation complete
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
nano zm-install
- copy and past the script provided by this link
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way
chmod 755 zm-install
./zm-install

and once again same trouble... several dependancies are not satisfied.

Just set up a new Bionic "server" minimum install from a net boot CD. Installed Mariadb, Apache2 and PHP then use the install script from the Zoneminder WIKI. Everything works! No errors or issues.

Maybe you should use a different Ubuntu repository? Or, could using a language other than English cause the problem?

[c128]

The answer is in the first post (along with the problem)?

I had to do the same as the OP on a clean (and very minimal) Ubuntu 18.04 server install, although having to do this varies (I suspect) depending on what you chose to install initially. Anyway,

Code: Select all

/etc/apt/source.list

needs to be updated to includes the following:

Code: Select all

deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic universe
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security universe
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security universe

...then an apt-get-update and the Zoneminder installation.

[benj29]

I will try and keep u in touch.
Maybe because I install Ubuntu in French version.
I will try with the sources.list modified directly and after I will try with English version...

[benj29]

Seems to be OK when i add your sources in sources.list.

The installation is in progress in Ubuntu 18 in French version.

Once again, thank you for your help
