ZoneMinder on Ubuntu - dependancy problems when installing

Hi All,
(this is how to: http://www.howtoforge.com/video_surv...eminder_ubuntu)

when i try to install zoneminder from .deb i get following error message:

Code:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of zoneminder

i think i need to upgrade some packages but i'm not sure how. I did usuall apt-get update, upgrade and i tried to change sources.list to what i found in Perfect Setup for Ubuntu 6.606 but no success.

I run

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install

but it only suggested me to remove zoneminder.

Also the link to zoneminder deb package (http://www.northern-ridge.com.au/zon...ubuntu/dapper/) doesn't exist anymore so i used this source:
http://mirror.ne.gov/ubuntu/pool/universe/z/zoneminder/

Here are the error messages in all glory:

Code:

sudo dpkg -i zoneminder_1.22.3-8_i386.deb

I'm using Ubuntu Server 6.06.1, very new install. (kernel 2.6.15-51)

Packages are now in the Ubuntu Repository

Hi... ur private message caught my attention...

Yes.. the debs at http://www.northern-ridge.com.au/zon...ubuntu/dapper/ don't exist anymore... after a little research I found that the Gutsy Gibbons repository has included zoneminder...

on my laptop running Gutsy

Quote:

wisu@wisu-lenovo:~$ apt-cache search zoneminder
zoneminder - Linux video camera security and surveillance solution

looking more deeper at the Hardy Heron repository i found that it also includes zoneminder...

What i suggest is.... if you want to go with LTS wait 3 days for the HH release, install it.... enable the universe repository and apt-get install zoneminder...

I would appreciate it if you could update this post on your progres....

Thanks...

so i tried ubuntu 8.04 (desktop) and apt-get install zoneminder (had to add universe repository and update) worked without any problems.
that my zoran card doesn't want to work (probably driver) is different story (and different mailing-list...)
thanks for help

:confused: dunno what to do

i use on ubuntu 9.0.4 server remoting grand ip camera. but it cant work :(

I had the same problem with remote images and despite googling haven't come up with an answer. I've resorted to using webcam (in the repos) and uploading the image to the zoneminder machine. An alternative would be making a quick bash script to wget or curl the image file to the zoneminder machine. Not ideal but it does work OK.
