== Ubuntu 9.10 32bit - Vanilla Fresh Install  - (with FFmpeg SVN, ZoneMinder SVN, jscalendar-1.0, cambozola-0.76)==

=== Update Ubuntu 9.10 ===
<pre>
aptitude update
aptitude full-upgrade

=== Make System file changes (For ZoneMinder Shared Mem) ===

For this section, I will refer you to the following 2 posts:

[http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=50772#50772 Forum Post on Shared Memory]

[http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ#What_does_a_.27Can.27t_shmget:_Invalid_argument.27_error_in_my_logs_mean.3F_and_my_cameras_won.27t_display_video_at_higher_resolutions. ZoneMinder FAQ with Formulas]

Using these calculations, for 6GB of Physical Memory I would use this:

<pre>
echo "#Below are for ZoneMinder#" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "kernel.shmall = 1536000" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "kernel.shmmax = 3221225472" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

== Reboot System ==

Again, this is meant to be installed on a FRESH install of 9.10 with no modifications.  Also, this guide is meant to be run as root, as such I have left out all the 'sudo' prefixes.

Please try and let me know your success.  I've installed this way 3 times from scratch on a virtual machine, and I think this guide is now complete.
