Hi,

So far I tried to install Kdenlive 15.12 on my Fedora 23 Mate with the script from source. See the thread
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=265&t=130259
I had some success to compile but can't run it due to the lack of "oxygen" something, no icon, no colour in the window.
My target is to RUN Kdenlive not to debug the install (even if I like that), my knowledge is thin and can't go further.

Now I want to try with the rpm from here
http://packman.links2linux.de/package/kdenlive/672220
I get

Code: Select all

 su -c 'dnf install /home/pc/Downloads/kdenlive-15.12.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm'
Password:
Last metadata expiration check performed 1:16:45 ago on Thu Jan  7 07:44:43 2016.
Error: nothing provides /usr/bin/melt6 needed by kdenlive-15.12.0-1.2.x86_64
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)


So I run

Code: Select all

 su -c 'dnf install /home/pc/Downloads/melt6-0.9.8-64.1.x86_64.rpm'
Password:

Error: nothing provides melt needed by melt6-0.9.8-64.1.x86_64
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)


Then

Code: Select all

 su -c 'dnf install /home/pc/Downloads/melt-0.9.8-66.1.x86_64.rpm'
Password:
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:15:22 ago on Thu Jan  7 09:05:36 2016.
Error: nothing provides melt6 needed by melt-0.9.8-66.1.x86_64
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)


Both metl call each other. How to fix that?

The answer of the above question is

Code: Select all

su -c 'dnf install /home/pc/Downloads/melt*.rpm'

But I got more issues after that.
I asked to Fedora forum regarding the install of a non Fedora rpm and get some help.
After few posts, I reckon there is no way to install it properly. According to the answers I had, this will be messy and will fail.

So I stop here and will uninstall what I did.

Thank you for your support.

Nota:
Please, for the future users, don't say rpm for openSUSE will be good for Fedora. At least try it before.
Maybe someone could correct this page
https://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manua ... erivatives

It's unfortunate that both rpms as well as the compile script did fail for you. There may be a last chance: directly compiling without a compile script. There is a wiki page https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/KF5 about it, but unfortunately only for *ubuntus and Suse. I went this way, albeit on Kubuntu, to get bug fixes as soon as possible and to report bugs back and try fixes. That required no knowledge in debugging, but may require some searching for the necessary rpms on Fedora. It would be great if you could try and report back what may be missing so we can update the wiki pages accordingly.

I don't think I am skilled enough to compile a big appli like Kdenlive.
I tried with the script, I had lot of difficulties and search. Now I can start it but with errors. See the thread
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=265&t=130259&start=30

It is a pity to not have a good rpm for Fedora. I'd guess I am not the only one in this case.
As I said above, Don't go this way if you are not skilled enough, it will fail.

Thanks

Mr Nice,
that you are having such troubles. I think the ball might have to get kicked to the fedora package maintaners. You say there is a kdenlive in the offical fedora repos right ? You should try and pester the package maintainers to get 15.12 to be the official package. It is weird that you have oxygen installed but kdenlive can not see it. But I don't think the kdenive developers can spend time supporting every distros installation quirks.

reading another thread about installing on other distros - you might need package kdebase-runtime and plasma-desktop

I registered here just so I could reply to this. I realize that the thread is old but for anyone else that arrived here via web search:

I was having the same problem on Fedora 23 Gnome desktop and kdenlive simply wouldn't launch. I figured it was a missing dependency. The obvious one would be KDE's own frameworks.

sudo dnf install kf5-frameworkintegration.x86_64

qt5 base was already installed on my system presumably by default or with kdenlive, but running the install of frameworkintegration updated qt5 base and I was able to run kdenlive.
