@guiodic : I don't have this kind of problem (using Jaunty and and regular kde/Qt)

I don't think that it's package related, it could be kde/Qt related ... what versions are you using?

hi geoffrey,
I saw where was the problem, an issue in ffmpeg package name : "ffmpeg-extra" instead of "ffmpeg". I'am rebuilding it. I will also modify the karmic kdenlive package to avoid the install of dummy packages (the unstripped ffmpeg libs are called extra now in karmic).

I use:

libqt 4.5.0-0ubuntu4.2 (

kde: 4:4.2.4-0ubuntu1~jaunty2 (from jaunty backports)

PPA now works and I installed Kdenlive 0.7.6 on Ubuntu Studio 8.10, 64-bit. Everything seems to be working as it should.

Hi. I just installed kdenlive 0.7.6 on my Ubuntu Jaunty following http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/ubuntu-packages

Unfortunately at beginning it crashed after a few operations so I installed kdenlive debugging symbols in order to generate useful reports just in case. At the moment the "Configuration Wizard" tells I'm missing QImage module and also to upgrade my MLT version. Actually as for MLT I have libmlt++2 installed (0.4.6-0ubuntu0~jaunty2).

In the other hand, I'm not able to install libmt++2-dbg from Synaptic and it gives:

libmlt++2-dbg:
Depends: libmlt++2 (=0.4.4+git20090927-0ubuntu2~tj~ppa1j) but 0.4.6-0ubuntu0~jaunty2 is to be installed

Any suggestion, please?
Thanks.

...also, is there any option in order to get a mailing digest from this forum?
Thanks

hi Munaciello,

your problem is very clear, there is a mess on your system. You have mixed 2 different mlt versions, mine (sunab's) and tj's from his video editors one. You musn't do that, use one or other.

If you still want to use my ppa, you must clean all your MLT related packages.

And for information there is no libmlt++2-dbg package in the ubuntu database, if such package exists in tj's ppa it doesn't follow ubuntu naming rules.

Ok, thanks for your reply.

So, I suppose I should remove all MLT and related packages, then all MLT lines from repos except the ones related to your sunab repos, just in case. Right?
Also, how to discover which of those lines to keep or remove from /etc/apt/sources.list ?

As far as I can see, that should mean choosing to have installed exclusively just one between OpenShot and KDEnlive... right?

Thank you.

PS: is there any option to get a mail digest from this forum?

Cannot get past the install step.

Try to install kdenlive and get

kdenlive:
Depends: libmlt1 (>=0.4.6) but 0.4.4-2build1 is to be installed

Try to Upgrade libmlt1 and get:

libmlt1:
Depends: libavcodec-unstripped-52 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavformat-unstripped-52 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavutil-unstripped-49 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libswscale-unstripped-0 but it is not going to be installed

sunab,
Thank you very much for you work. I was able to install your ffmpeg PPA with the new changes and it works nicely, except I have found I now need a newer SVN version as this version and others cause problems with my HV30 .m2t files. I did some testing and a newer version of ffmpeg such as SVNr19976 doesn't crash on my files. Other slightly earlier versions may also work, but I chose this because it is the last before I would also have to upgrade ubuntus x264 packages. I don't know which specific patch fixes it though.

Can you share your secrets on how to create your debs from latest SVN source so I can create my own debs like you have done? Currently I'm using the checkinstall method (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095) but would like to create "proper" packages using the debuild method to ease the tracking of dependencies in Ubuntu. The checkinstall method puts all the libraries and everything into one package called ffmpeg. I've also tried using debuild, but it only gets half way through with some issue about dependencies that I don't know how to correct. My guess is that I'm missing some tweak to the debian/control or such file to fix this.

Any pointers would be appreciated or a copy of your /debian/ files so I can compare what you have done and help build these things.

I really just want kdenlive (version that works with my files) and amarok to co-exist using packages not a patchwork of source installs.

Thank you again for all your work and hope you have some thoughts or can help out.

Hi - latest Karmic Update (32bit) - Kdenlive has installed and works fine. I set Audio to Pulse BTW

I deleted the file you said and then KDEnlive did work.
I made a small sample movie and all worked well.

BUT ... when I loaded an older movie, which was made in an earlier version of KDEnlive ... the crash reappeared.

The crash report is at the end of this mail.

Fortunately, when I then restarted KDEnlive, it worked again. But as soon as I tried opening a previous project ... boom.

I must add that, after having erased the file you mentioned, restarting KDEnlive and opening my former project, KDEnlive tells me the directory of this file is not correct. I assume it has something to do with that, but as I'm not a computer programmer, this is just an educated guess.

So I had problems with MLT, Kdenlive complaining about wrong MLT-version.

I had previously installed Openshot Video Editor. Removing it (especially its special MLT-version) solved the problem.

Yeah!

I confirm the issue on karmic....

Hi

I don't know how to get to contact the creators or heavily involved person with the development of Kdenlive

could you please help me?

I would really like to donate a google wave invitation to some person heavily involved with the development so they could experiment with this tool I have heard is great for discussions or brainstorms for developers of open source etc

many thanks

my email is:
Enzo.Gianvittorio@Gmail.com
