Update from 1.34 to 1.36.14 on bionic

Post by yeahforbes »

Hi everyone, first post! I've been running 1.34 on bionic for quite some time, and I'm just getting around to updating it. I configured the PPA for 1.36 but it seems like it only offers 1.36.15 at the moment which isn't good for me... is there any way I can upgrade to 1.36.14 instead? I want to stick with apt, I'm not too interested in stuff like building from source.

Reason: I'm facing the known issue described here -- viewtopic.php?p=126426#p126426 -- which I assume (but correct me if I'm wrong) only applies to .15, not .14 and earlier.

Obviously I could instead ask "when will 1.36.16 be released?" but I'm not that rude :)

You could either use 14 by specifying it, or you could try the working zoneminder proposed .15

Can you give me an example of "specifying it"? This is what I've tried:

Code: Select all

root@zoneminder:~# apt-cache policy zoneminder
zoneminder:
  Installed: 1.34.26-bionic2
  Candidate: 1.36.15-bionic1
  Version table:
     1.36.15-bionic1 500
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/iconnor/zoneminder-1.36/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages
 *** 1.34.26-bionic2 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Code: Select all

root@zoneminder:~# apt list -a zoneminder
Listing... Done
zoneminder/bionic 1.36.15-bionic1 amd64 [upgradable from: 1.34.26-bionic2]
zoneminder/now 1.34.26-bionic2 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 1.36.15-bionic1]

Code: Select all

root@zoneminder:~# apt-cache madison zoneminder
zoneminder | 1.36.15-bionic1 | http://ppa.launchpad.net/iconnor/zoneminder-1.36/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages

ugh. Things are in flux. But a new proposed just came up, so see if this works for you...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-proposed
sudo apt update

That should get you 1.36.16~20220525.31-bionic1 , which seems functional, for me, so far.

Is there a repository where something like `apt upgrade zoneminder=1.36.14-bionic1` would succeed (or at least be attemptable)? I'm just more into stability than pre-release for this particular use case. I'm running inside Proxmox and snapshots aren't working due to the way I have things mounted... I'm going to rebuild from a fresh start at some point to correct that (maybe with Debian, I hear that's better than Ubuntu for Zoneminder lately?) but until then I just want to be super careful.

I usually use the .deb file for older releases that I’m keen to use. Have a look here https://launchpad.net/~iconnor/+archive ... d/23524565
