Sorry... I forgot to include the text url:
*https://groups.io/g/videosurveillance
<https://groups.io/g/videosurveillance>. *I think the procedure is you
visit that and provide your email, then the group administrator is
notified, i.e. me, and then I approve.

Hi all.
I installed motion (ver. 4.2.2) on Xubuntu 20.04 LTS from Synaptic
manager successfully.
Made all necessary settings and when I start motion from terminal it
works OK, writes video-files from two cameras on my HDD.
But it doesn't start motion after reboot my PC.
I set: "start_motion_daemon=yes" in /etc/default/motion file
and "daemon on" in /home/vdo/.motion/motion.conf
then I enabled it in terminal: sudo systemctl enable motion
reboot PC.
But no video-files wrote on my HDD, and /home/vdo/.motion/motion.log
doesn't have new entries after rebooting.
vdo@scorpio:~$ systemctl status motion
get me this result:
? motion.service - LSB: Start Motion detection
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/motion; generated)
Active: active (exited) since Mon 2020-07-20 11:37:33 MSK; 32min ago
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
Process: 715 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/motion start (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)
jul 20 11:37:33 scorpio systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Start Motion detection...
jul 20 11:37:33 scorpio motion[715]: * Starting motion detection daemon
motion
jul 20 11:37:33 scorpio motion[715]: ...done.
jul 20 11:37:33 scorpio systemd[1]: Started LSB: Start Motion detection.
If I got it right, systemctl tried start motion, but nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Serge.
