I've changed way too many things in my motion.conf and I would like to revert it to its original state.
Is there any command to achieve that?
When I remove config file and during installation or even removal by apt-get I get following error:
chmod: cannot access '/etc/motion/motion.conf': No such file or directory
Assuming you installed it using apt-get, you can remove it and its config files with the following command:
sudo apt-get purge motion
and then reinstall with:
sudo apt-get install motion
You may want to investigate etckeeper, to avoid having to uninstall and reinstall in future. It uses version control to track changes to your /etc directory, allowing you to test and roll back config changes. You can read more about it on our blog.
