For OpenSuse users, the package in the Build Service works fine, so no need to compile it yourself unless you're a maochist :-)

Yet more evidence to suggest this is a packaging issue, but it's interesting that both the Kubuntu and Packman repositories had the same problem.

"getting the source for kdenlive by using apt-get only gets the 7.5 source (from the repos). "

That's because you haven't manually added the deb-src repository for the PPA. I did, and apt-get source gets the source for 0.7.7 - deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

PPAs and backports repos frequently don't add their deb-src counterpart. Personally, I think it's a bug. I've long been in the habit of adding them in manually.

And here is the i386 file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/353568541/Kdenlive-7.7-i386.deb

Please note:

A. You should install sunab's mlt first. If it doesn't work from that, then let me know and I'll upload the mlt files I compiled as well

B. These files will not be auto-updated like ppa's and the rest of the system.

C. I will do my best to help anyone, but since this is kind of a rare situation with backports, I do not intend to keep up with file updates. If there is another release of kdenlive before Lucid (which I doubt), then I will do it again.

Let me know if there are any issues.

DrG,
Still had some issues with dev packages not being installed, so I ended up just compiling from the sources per the very helpful guide. I ran into a few stupid issues with dependencies, but I was eventually able to figure it out. Thanks a ton for the deb-src info - I had no idea you could download the source so easily.

Hi cryophallion,

Thanks for preparing the packages, but could you please host them where I can download them? Rapidshare has no free slots left so the packages are unreachable for me (and others, too)...

If you are using kde 4.4 you need kdenlive to be built against it, that is not the case in my stable ppa (using regular kde 4.3). But to satisfy the audience I just rebuild kdenlive against kde 4.4 in my unstable ppa (ppa:sunab/sunab2), so normally those problems are gone ...

Hi sunab,

Tried your version from the repo, but the problem still remains...

Hi,

seems i have the same problem, too. Inserted clips won't snap to the timeline. They can be positioned everywhere in the timeline, even on the lines that separete the tracks.

And the project monitor does not play, what is shown in the timeline. The marker might be over the clip on track 1, but the monitor shows the last added clip e.g. on track 2 (or between track 2 and 3).

I can't even delete the clips in the timeline. The error-message appears (freely translated from german): "Error with deleting clip from track 0". Even if there is no clip on track 0.

I am using Opensuse 11.1, KDE 4.4.0, Kdenlive 0.7.7.1 (packman).

Right now, kdenlive is not usable for me.

Any solutions without compiling the packages on my own?

Is it the same problem as here : http://www.kdenlive.org/mantis/view.php?id=1394 and http://www.kdenlive.org/mantis/view.php?id=1479 ?

It appears to be a qt4.6 related issue. You need the latest versions of Kdenlive and Qt.

Yes, seems to be the same problem. I am already using latest release of kdenlive.

I updated qt and re-installed kdenlive, but nothing changed. Still the same problem.

Maybe it's the kdenlive-package from packman, that is not correct?

I am using a 64-bit openSUSE-11.2 with the "official" for openSUSE KDE-4.3.5, and I do NOT have this problem.

My guess is this is specific to the unofficial KDE-4.4 version that you are using and hence it is NOT an openSUSE packaging problem (yet) because the packman packager are to package for the "official" openSUSE-11.2 KDE release and not some official version for 11.2. Novell/SuSE-GmbH do NOT yet support KDE-4.4 on a released openSUSE (although openSUSE-11.3 will have KDE-4.4.x)

Sorry to read of your problem, but if its KDE-4.4 introduced, then that is a risk of not sticking with the released version for openSUSE-11.2.

Hi,

it is Opensuse 11.1 that´s running on my system. I don´t even know, which is the official supported version of KDE on 11.1.

But i think kdenlive should work with any current version of KDE 4. Some people have the same problems on Kubuntu.

So it might not be a solution of the problem to tell the people "use only the offical version of the distributors".

KDE 4.4 is not really an official version on opensuse, it's a factory version which means that KDE 4.4. is still under development. Both the en* and de* opensuse KDE upgrade sites tell you about a factory version - at least in the repository name.

Installing beta versions may lead to some trouble now and then...

Just my 2 cents...
