I installed it in Precise (5.7.1 I think). I couldn't find it in the Menu, but when I entered "motion" in a console I got this error message:
Any idea where I can find the missing library?
Code: Select all
motion: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.55: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
In precise you don't need this package: search "motion" in PPM and you'll be able to install motion from ubuntu's repositories. It's a litlle different but it works and opens recordings in browser. My package works in slacko 5.6 NON-PAE (perhaps, I think, in PAE version, too) . In slacko 5.6 I did not find "motion" in repositories. Motion for slacko 5.5 previously posted needed to be updated for changed basic libraries in slacko 5.6 (libavformat.so's version...). I did not add a desktop file because it usually is a "hidden" package of your system which you run in console.
You can remotely and privately watch your motion's recording by a browser. Create an account to copy:

Download copyagent from:
https://www.copy.com/install
Click on the tgz compressed file and choose to open with xarchive. Extract all where you want. Surf to /path-to/copy/x86 and click CopyAgent. Follow the procedure. It installs /root/Copy dir to syncronize to your account. You can choose not to syncronize what you already have in your account if you already have it. Create a relative link in /root/Copy dir to /usr/local/apache2. Now launch motion in console. If you login to your copy account by the browser of another device you'll remotely see the recording.
