PS Not all the files are created and or signed by myself. You should also have Fedoras keys and my need DAGs key as well. All of the extra perl modules I have built along with ZM but some of the packages for FFMPEG and the support there of may not be signed by me.

[cordel]

It has been reported that when installing from my repo that it brands ZM on the install. For this I'm sorry. I was trying to kill two birds with one stone. I have made a single CD installer for ZM based on FC3 and based the repo on that. I have corrected this now by adding another repo called ctu-extras and is detailed on the second post of this thread. If you would like this to be reversed just PM me and I send you the info to get rid of it.

A new build server is almost compleate. Thank you for those that donated to help make this happen. Those that donated and didn't ask to be anonymous will be credited on my site
This means that soon I will be able to build for more distros besides FC3 and FC4 and the process will be more automated and you will see the packages appear on the FTP server signed and ready to go.
I'll be moving servers around and reconfiguring them so there may be some outages over the next coulple weeks. The outages will be sparse and should not be more than a couple hours (most will be just 15 minutes at most from the changing IP's worst case but if I have this planned right it will be seamless and no one will even notice).
I'll also be placing a bug tracker on the website to help track issues over the next couple weeks (It's already there and functioning just not public yet).
Also I'll be going back to work finnishing the SELinux portion of the package after this is all done then going back to the Webmin module that I had started (That will also more than likely need to have policies for SELinux made since that is not done yet, any luck by the time I get here someone will have already started).
Cheers,
Cordel

Do to some poor planing the Extra-RPMs repo has changed. If you are using it as I have it above to retrive a list of mirrors (Of which there are none, just me) then you should be fine as I reflected the change in the mirror file.

If you are useing the direct URL in you config then it will break. To fix it all you need to do is add to the end of the url:
/$basearch

I edited the change to be reflected in the original post to keep it current.

Also you might notice that there is now an x86_64 directory along with i386 (the reason it broke). I'm building for 64 bit now Don't get to excited yet, yes there are files there but none have yet been tested. If you would like to go for it but I make no promises. I have loaded them in my build enviroment and so far everything looks good.

Not sure where to post this.

After fighting with trying to compile zm, ffmpeg, etc on FC4 from source, I gave up and tried this distro.

Was not able to install from CDROM, installer could not find the RPMs at all, so did a loopback device on the ISO on another machine and was able to install via FTP.

Okay, so now I've I installed latests CTU ZM FC3 Distro,
tried yum update, figured out how the gpg check problem,
Everything looks fine.

Until I need to install a kernel module for a particular webcam (qc-usb),
... no kernel src ... ok: yum install kernel-devel ... ok
... no gcc: ... ok: yum install gcc ... not ok:

--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.

Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-headers is needed by package glibc-headers

Sorry if this is a common question but: which RPM supplies kernel-headers?

I have enabled ctu-extras repo.

Thanks!

The easy whay to do this is to enable the Fedora repos and do a group install.

yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates-released groupinstall development-tools

Now that that question is out of the way.

Did you run mediacheck on it?
At the first prompt put in linux mediacheck to make sure you have a good burn.

[kstephens]

Oops, enabled fedora and fedora-updates, now yum install gcc is working.

[kstephens]

mediacheck would not even start up, both the install and mediacheck would die after selecting the install media (CDROM, Disk, FTP, etc.). Tried burning two different copies, I could not figure out why it wasn't working, since I had burned and installed FC4 from DVD before on the same computer. Anyhoo, FTP install seemed to work fine.

BTW:

Code: Select all

yum groupinstall development

does nothing:
Warning: Group development does not exist.
No packages in any requested group available to install

Thanks,
KS

[cordel]

You could always do a
yum grouplist

or

yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates-released grouplist

Hi,

I followed the guidelines, the install worked perfect, acctually tried both of them (yum -c http......zm install and over the repos, including a remove).

When starting however, I have the following problem: "Can't find file: 'Config.MYD' (errno: 2) found"

FYI I use the startup guidelines "installing from RPM"
where edit zm.conf is no problem,
"service mysqld start [ok]"
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit asks for root & pass,

After this I get the error message.

Any advice is welcome, I know its a db problem but I dont know how to fix it

Since I have to do a fair bit of travelling the next days, it might take some time to answer from my side.

Thanks for any help,

Michael

[MichaelK]

Problem solved.

DB was not created because of zm.conf file

I changed DB_name from zm to zoneminder

Hi,

Is anyone else having problems doing a yum update on the FC3 live cd install?

[root@security ~]# yum update
Setting up Update Process
Setting up Repos
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: ctu-updates-released

thanks

The server is being relocated. Sorry I had now way to avoid this. I should have it back up by the end of the week. I will also be transfering this to a shared server a bit down the road to avoid this from ever happening again once I find a good web host.
Regards,
Corey

[africanw]

Not a problem. Thought it was me .

[jameswilson]

Corey you could always borrow my server to balance the load if you like, let me know what access you need to it, its only a 600Mhz p3 and my bandwidth gets swallowed by all the zm4ms downloads but its there all the same matey
