Difficulty installing

Post by imellor »

High all, newbie here.

I'm trying to install Zoneminder on Ubuntu 18.04, I have had one successful install, but after lots of fiddling, I decide to start again with a clean install.

This is process I followed:
  • Reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch.
  • Out of interest I decided to NOT include the PPA add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.34 so I could use the version on the main Ubuntu repository
  • When I tried to install ZoneMinder, I received the following error

Code: Select all

Package zoneminder is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'zoneminder' has no installation candidate
  • Because of the above error, I assumed that Zoneminder is not available on the Ubuntu repository, so I run the command: add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.34
However I am not stuck with this error:

Code: Select all

'Error reading https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&options=mr&exact=on&search=0xABE4C7F993453843F0AEB8154D0BF748776FFB04: [Errno 113] No route to host'
I've pinged a few sites to test connectivity, but apart fromt hat I'm stuck. I would therfore be grateful for a few pointers please :-)

Ping @iconnor is this https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... -04-bionic needing to be updated? It still seems to reference 1.32.

Yup, the readthedocs is behind as usual. Use the install instructions on the Zoneminder Wiki.
