Internet/resolution/Cinerrela-setup from USB

[klaus2008]

There are some packages misssing on your system. You could try the following instructions

1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list by executing

sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list

and adding these four lines

deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~minmax/cinelerra/builds/sid/ ./
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ sid main non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main non-free

Save the changes and close the editor.

2. Enter these three lines while being connected to the internet:

gpg --keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 1F41B907
gpg --armor --export 1F41B907 | sudo apt-key add - 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t sid install cinelerra-cv

3. When I started cinelerra for the first time I got an error message which said that I had to enter

echo "0x7fffffff" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

as root. Therefore I quit cinelerra and entered the following commands

su
echo "0x7fffffff" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
exit

Then I started cinelerra again without that error message. To be honest I don't know what the echo command does. As I had not enough time to try out cinelerra I cannot say wether it is useful. Somewhere I read that I must use an 64 bit operating system. Therefore I installed cinelerra on sidux (64 bit version).

Thank you very much!

I'm reading your message somewhat late as I already managed to install it in a different way.

Instead of command lines I figured out the "synaptic" way. In Synaptic Package Manager, under settings there is a "repositories" tab. I slowly learned how to use it and managed to add the required repositories. I suppose it is a "sources.list" editor built in. Also managed to add the keys in a root terminal (using copy paste). Yet reading your message I feel reassured what I did was correct.

I had a lot of truoble and in the end Kdenlive dissapeared. Apparently they cannot be together since they use different versions of the same files or something. I had a nightmare of dependencies to sort out but managed in the end to install Cinelerra CV (comunity version). Impossible to decipher all the Cinelerra (alone) dependencies as some of them were uninstallable (the hell if I know why).

Im going to try it next to see if I can make a nice home movie.

I also got the error you said and did exactly as you did as instructed by the program. Now, how do I know if I'm getting the 64bit advantage? My system is 64 bit, but I had no indication of 64bit cinelerra during the whole process.

This time something did happen. The Cinelerra now appears under "Sound & Video". But it does not run. Nothing happens. Not even error messages. These were the messages during instalation:

Also, there must be something wrong with the Kdenlive instalation too. The rendered video is a garbage file, players cannot play it.

It looks like you didn't get everything necessary when you downloaded. Lame in particular is not there, which I think is the nub of the problem. Did you visit the recommended (from http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#apt) page at http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ to get the non-cinelerra multimedia packages it depends on? I know it's tedious, but it WILL work if you are persistent, I'm sure.

.... how do I know if I'm getting the 64bit advantage? My system is 64 bit, but I had no indication of 64bit cinelerra during the whole process.

Knoppix uses a basic 32 bit i386 kernel. Just another reason why you are better off using Knoppix as a live CD introduction to Linux but going ahead and installing Debian when ready. That way you can choose a kernel that is optimized for your CPU.
