Openshot for Debian?

I have not tried it on Debian, just Ubuntu. Assuming all of the libraries are available that OpenShot needs in the build wizard, it should work... I think. Not a lot of confidence there... but I wish you good luck!

Openshot installs OK under Debian Sid, but when I run it I get this. Debian still uses Python 2.5 so maybe that is part of the issue, or maybe a missing Python library.

Anyhow I am about to uninstall and try the wizard, i will let you know.

The wizard did not work, I think my Python setup needs work.

OK, I started again and ran the wizard again. With a bit of trial and error it will work with Debian Sid AMD64.

I selected Ubuntu 8.04 64bit which should match Debian's Python config better. And it did!

So, yes it can work with Debian

It may be as simple as installing the provided 8.04 debs, but I have it working now using the wizard so I will leave well enough alone.

Thanks Jonathan

That's great news Greg! Thanks for looking into this. I'm glad everything works on Debian!

I tried to install in Debian Squeeze with the wizard. I had some problems of dependencies but i can fix them. But one error i can fix. When i run the program they say:

_________________________________________
nano@nano-laptop:~$ python /home/nano/openshot/main/OpenShot.py
--------------------------------
OpenShot (version 0.9.26)
--------------------------------
/home/nano/openshot/main/windows/SimpleGladeApp.py:338: GtkWarning: gtk_toolbar_set_icon_size: assertion `icon_size != GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID' failed
return gtk.glade.XML(self.glade_path, root, domain)
A new frmMain has been created
Quitting: ptrace: No existe el proceso.
nano@nano-laptop:~$

I use the same option 8.04 but 32bits.

I tried to change the icons size but nothig.

Any idea?

Nano,

The GTK icons error is not what is stopping the program running. I get that too and the program still runs.

It is almost certainly a missing python library. I also had to install bzr to get it to install correctly.

bzr
bzr-buliddeb
bzr-tools

These are some that I have installed. I am trying to write my own Python app so I can no longer tell what is necessary

python-cairo
python-central
python-glade2
python-gobject
python-imaging
python-kiwi
python-libxml2
python-lxml
python-metacity
python-mutagen
python-numpy
python-opengl
python-pexpect
python-pkg-resources
python-pycurl
python-pygments
python-pygoocanvas
python-pyorbit
python-qscintilla2
python-rdflib
python-renderpm
python-rsvg
python-smartpm
python-sip4
python-support
python-tagpy
python-tk
python-vte
python-wnck
python-xdg

I have others that do not seem relevant but may be. Also I have all the qt stuff as I am running KDE 4.3 and my app is a plasmoid

NOTE:

I had to run the install script as sudo (I have created a sudo for my user account) then when the program finished I had to change to permissions on /home/nano/openshot/ and all inside to my user ownership.

You might try and test the mlt Python bindings with this command:

$ python
>> import mlt

If you get the error "ImportError: No module named mlt", then the mlt
bindings were not installed correctly. Please let us know the results of
this test.

Thanks,
-Jonathan

Jonathan, i think this is not the problem:

nano@nano-laptop:~$ python
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Feb 17 2009, 20:16:45)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mlt
>>> quit
Use quit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit
>>> quit()
nano@nano-laptop:~$

Greg, i install bzr but the problem persists.

I copy in http://pastebin.com/f64cecd6e the full archive of bug buddy, maybe it can help.

Sorry about my english and my low experience in this kind of problems.

Thanks.

Greg i try to install all list os packages you post but they can't solve the problem. I re-install using sudo but the error persists.

At the end of instalation the wizard show that:

and a image when i run the openshot:

http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/4233/pantallazou.png

I get it. I was wrong when i think that i fix all the dependencies, now i install libxml-dev that is necessary to run.

Well now its time to test OpenShot under Debian Squeeze.

Thanks for all.

Hi, I'm trying to install openshot in Debian/testing. The opnly problem seems to be mlt installation, I had this error at the make step:

/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkcairo.h:39: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token
/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkcairo.h:43: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token

In file included from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdk.h:39,

Anybody has some hints about the problem?

Thanks!

I have not seen that error before. I do know at least one person that has
successfully build MLT for the Debian Testing distro. So, I know it's
possible, but I'm not sure what you are doing incorrectly. MLT has a
mailing list. You might search their archives and website... and send an
email if you still need help.

Thanks,
-Jonathan
