Iinstall of 1.26 gets 1.25?

Post by mrd »

I tried to follow these fresh install instructions and ended up with 1.25?

http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way

I also tried the 1.27 version of instructions. If I follow the process without adding the ppa, I end up with 1.26?

Any help would be appreciated!

The only odd thing about the system is that the OS is slightly customized for the Utilite Pro that it is running on, but I think the only difference is firmware related.

Interesting.

I suppose it's possible that they have updating the zm package in 12.04 like they have in later releases, but with my ppa active you should be running 1.27.0-precise-2

I'll build a package of our master branch which will soon be 1.28 for 12.04.

maybe you'd like to give it a try.

I'm happy to try anything at this point. I really want to be on as recent of a release as possible.

FYI...
Turns out I was mistaken about the base package that I get with a clean 12.04 install. It is 1.25.

If you want the latest "stable" version use:
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way

This will give you ZM 1.26.5 on Ubuntu 14.04. Guaranteed to work if you install a fresh copy of Ubuntu Server or Desktop.

If you want to work with the lasted version of 1.27.X see:
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 31&t=22477

It is also possible to upgrade the 1.26.5 on Ubuntu 14.04 to 1.27.??? by adding the PPA repository. Just did that this morning and am getting ready to write up my procedure. Stay Tuned!

And why are you stuck with 12.04?

Edit: Well, this is a real bummer! I tried to do an install as cited above and 12.04 is not allowing me to add the repository because python-pycurj is missing... Back to 14.04 I guess and will not mess with older versions as obsolesce really strikes them hard!!!

Become root:

sudo su
First, get rid of your current Zoneminder:
apt-get remove
apt-get purge

Add repository
apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-master
apt-get update

Install Zoneminder
apt-get install zoneminder libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc

ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf

/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

adduser www-data video

Add delay to allow MySQL to start before Zoneminder

nano /etc/init.d/zoneminder

Add above "zmfix -a" sleep 15

should look like:

start() {
sleep 15
echo -n "Starting $prog: "


Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

This should work for you.

I've tried that exact procedure and ended up with 1.25. This thread was really based on that problem and it seems that it could be related to the minor modifications that are made to the 12.04 build on my Utilite Pro system. I thought they only changed the kernel, but nothing else explains why the PPA process does not get the more recent version of ZM. I see no failures during the process at all.

Thanks
