Hi 4 all. Sorry for my bad english.
My issue is, i think, simple and complex: I migrated yesterday from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. In the latter, I used the plugin light graffiti without problems. But now, there's no way I can see it in my list of effects. Have uninstalled 3 times; used the central programs and also used command lines. This is related to the use of the current version of Kdenlive together with the new Ubuntu? Thank you in advance for your attention.

erratum: which reads "In the latter" read "at first."

light graffiti is part of the frei0r package... Make sure it is installed. From which repository are you installing Kdenlive packages?

Many thanks, j-b-m!

First, I installed it by the central program; then, I followed the directions of command lines I found on the net. From yesterday to today I saw something about frei0r package. In Synaptic, I saw that my version is "1.1.22git20091109-1.2". Then I saw somewhere that this version is outdated. But how? I did not find ways to upgrade the package.

Ps: I do not have practice of compiling packages. If there is a more friendly way to upgrade the package, I thank you. If, not, very well. Is time to know.

Oh, ok I see the problem. Sunab's kdenlive-release PPA only contains packages for Ubuntu up to 12.04. If you are using quantal (12.10) and want to get back all effects, you must use out svn repository:

https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/kdenlive-svn

You can get it with the following command line:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sunab/kdenlive-svn && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kdenlive

But beware that this will install the current development versions of MLT & Kdenlive that are updated about once a week and might sometimes be unstable.

I hope to release Kdenlive 0.9.4 stable in the next weeks that should hopefully be available in the kdenlive-release repository for Ubuntu 12.10.

Ok! Let's see if I'll do the best path:

1. I uninstall the previous lines of SUNAB repository. (restart after this?)

2. I put the lines that you provided in the terminal and I hope he finishes the job.

3. And now? I install Kdenlive from the Software Center or should I use another method?

If I use the Software Center, it will not come the same way before, Without light graffiti?

Sorry if my questions seem very silly. Thank you again!

Hi, j-b-m!

Today, i did a usual upgrade and, for my surprise, the "light graffiti" plugin is available now.

Thank you very much for your atention!

This has been tested and confirmed to work on Kubuntu v12.10 with a Wubi installation.-(I'm not sure about other Ubuntu GUI environments...? Please Confirm!)
[DIRECTIONS]:
Add Kdenlive PPA Repository(ppa:sunab/kdenlive-release) to Software Sources in Muon Software Center (Make sure you *Reload*)
Run your Terminal/Konsole
Type in:sudo apt-get install kdenlive
When installation is complete, start up Kdenlive, notice that there are missing fei0r effects/plug-ins!
Download the “frei0r-plugins-1.3.tar.gz” package from this URL:http://www.piksel.no/frei0r/releases/
Save it to your “Documents” folder.
======================================================
Time to remove Kdenlive and start fresh...
*(For the rest of this procedure we will need to execute the following commands in the Terminal/Konsole)*
Type:
sudo apt-get remove kdenlive
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install g++
tar -xf /home/your_login_name_here/Documents/frei0r-plugins-1.3.tar.gz
cd frei0r-1.3/
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo apt-get install kdenlive

Done! -You should now have the most recent “Stable” frei0r-plugin package installed in “Kubuntu v12.10”.
