This is to bring the current documentation up to date with instructions that I tested this week and are mostly aligned with the "latest" version here:

I'm not really sure this adds anything. The instructions are less than what we had for Jammy+. Nothing new though. Nothing specific to noble.

I did remove some things - manually running the scripts did not work when I tried them, so I removed that part, and I changed the "1.36" to "master", as 1.36 was not found on newer than 24.04 (I'd also recently done an install on 25.04).
Up to you, but it might save someone just a little bit of searching/troubleshooting.

Pull request overview

Updates the Ubuntu installation guide to include fresh, tested instructions for installing ZoneMinder on Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble), aiming to align with the “latest” upstream documentation.

Changes:

  • Added a new “Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)” section with step-by-step install/configuration commands.
  • Documented enabling Apache modules/config and starting the ZoneMinder service for 24.04.
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)

docs/installationguide/ubuntu.rst:58

  • The ZoneMinder product name is inconsistently capitalized in the new section (e.g., "zoneminder" / "Zoneminder"). Please standardize to "ZoneMinder" for consistency with the rest of the document and project naming.
**Step 6:** Enable and start zoneminder

::

        sudo systemctl enable zoneminder
        sudo systemctl start zoneminder

**Step 7:** Open Zoneminder

docs/installationguide/ubuntu.rst:47

  • The literal command blocks in the new Ubuntu 24.04 section use inconsistent indentation (some are 4 spaces, others 8), and there's a whitespace-only indented line right after :: in Step 5. Please normalize indentation and remove whitespace-only lines to prevent awkward rendering/copy-paste issues in the generated docs.
**Step 5:** Configure Apache correctly:

::
        
        sudo a2enmod rewrite headers cgi
        sudo a2enconf zoneminder
        sudo systemctl restart apache2

This really adds nothing over 22.04+ instructions.
