Bug#711196: motion: Crash immediately after start
Hi Juan, Thank you for your tip. I had checked the permissions of all motion paths. All permission are ok. But I think, that an evalutation of the shown parts of my syslog leads to a problem with the init script /etc/init.d/motion. Best Regards, Markus Glugla Hi Markus, By default, motion dumps pictures or videos in /tmp/motion (you can change it in /etc/motion/motion.conf). Please, check that this directory exists and is writable for user 'motion'.
