Bug#457116: motion init script seems to start even if I use the default motion.conf
Hi, You are right. For the next version fix this. Thank you for your suggestion. Andrew M. Bishop wrote: The severity of this bug should be important or higher and it should be re-opened. The answer given to the previous bug report is unacceptable. I also see this problem, but it is worse because I have V4L devices installed but I don't want to use them with motion. The default configuration file /etc/motion/motion.conf contains the lines: # Start in daemon (background) mode and release terminal (default: off) daemon off When upgrading motion it found my TV capture cards and started motion using them. This stopped the 'apt-get upgrade' process from completing. I had to Control-C, edit the /etc/init.d/motion file and then re-run 'apt-get upgrade' to finish configuring the package. This means that booting the machine will start motion running but it won't background itself (I think this means that the boot will hang at this point). The default should not be to start motion at boot time unless the file /etc/default/motion specifies that it should be started (see other packages that do this, e.g. spamassassin or rsync). It should also not be started if the default configuration file does not contain the line 'daemon on' since this will hang the startup. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#457116: motion init script seems to start even if I use the default motion.conf
Package: motion Version: 3.2.9-1 Severity: normal Hi, Since the last upgrade, I get this message at boot during the init time : Starting motion detection : motion [0] Processing thread 0 - config file /etc/motion/motion.conf [0] Motion 3.2.9 Started [0] ffmpeg LIBAVCODEC_BUILD 3352064 LIBAVFORMAT_BUILD 3344896 [0] Thread 1 is from /etc/motion/motion.conf [1] Thread 1 started [1] Failed to open video device /dev/video0: No such file or directory [1] Capture error calling vid_start [1] Thread finishing... [0] motion-httpd/3.2.9 running, accepting connections [0] motion-httpd: waiting for data on port TCP 8080 My problem is that I don't want to start any motion daemon, because I use motion to do video with my webcam, but not all the time. So I keep the initial motion.conf with: # Start in daemon (background) mode and release terminal (default: off) daemon off SO I think there is a bug somewhere, isn't it ?
