Thread: How do we upgrade to Openshot 1.4 with knoppix ?

It is really neat that Openshot 1.3.1 comes pre-installed with the knoppix 6.7.1 DVD that I used to create a boot USB. However, I'm not sure how to upgrade to Openshot 1.4.0 and the directions page don't make much sense to me:

Suggestions? Thanks

Hi, Denver Dave!

You can upgrade OpenShot Video Editor to version 1.4.0 if you issue

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t testing install openshot openshot-doc

in a terminal.

If you cannot start OpenShot Video Editor you should read the web page Seg fault on certain language & locale combinations (non UTF-8 ) where you can find a new file Language_Init.py that should replace /usr/share/pyshared/openshot/language/Language_Init.py

Thank you for the OpenShot and other help that you have given me in the knoppix forums.

The two sudo commands that you suggested did upgrade my openshot to 1.4.0.

I tried the first command before, but how are we supposed to know the 2nd command for those of us without supernatural powers? I reviewed the openshot website again and I don't see where I missed this information.

It seems like with ubuntu and knoppix, the applications are already included or someone eventually gives a few sudo commands that work or I don't get the application installed or upgraded. I haven't tried the .tar route yet - maybe I'll try for another application.

Openshot is somewhat unique in that I'm not trying to duplicate a program that runs under Windows - I don't believe that Openshot is available for windows. While openshot may be limited in some ways, I've found it much much easier to use than other video editors - windows or linux.

Thank you - I'm off editing with openshot 1.4.0
