Hi Rob.
I changed all permissions to motion:motion, i.e.:
- /home/vdo/.motion/topcam.conf
- /home/vdo/.motion/cornercam.conf
- /home/vdo/.motion/motion.conf
- /home/vdo/.motion/motion.log
- /etc/init.d/motion
- /var/run/motion - that is empty directory on Xubuntu 20.04
- /usr/bin/motion that is actually motion's executable on Xubuntu 20.04
directories for video-files (I set them in fstab):
- /media/vdo/Cornercam
- /media/vdo/Topcam
But nothing changed, motion doesn't auto-start after reboot.
I still have to start motion manually.
It seems to me this is a bug.
I am not sure whether systemctl or motion, but something goes wrong.
Serge

maybe a line in /etc/rc.local could work around the problem?

Not entirely related , but should you need to use ldconfig , use with
the the verbose flag set
ie ldconfig -v, and do it a couple of times.
ubuntu 20 has a few bugs , that one has caught me.
For some reason it wants to tell the world what it s doing, and if you
dont let it, it doesn't do it
that may help someone
