Install Cinelerra in Ubuntu Gutsy
First you need to edit the sources.list file using the following command
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and enter the following lines
For 32 bit users
deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu32 ./
deb-src http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu32 ./
For 64 bit users
deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu64 ./
Save and exit the file.
Now you need to update the source list using the following command
sudo apt-get update
Install Cinelerra using the following command
sudo aptitude install cinelerra
This will complete the installation
Now open terminal and type
sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
And add this line to the bottom of the file this adds the extra memory for Cinelerra to run properly
kernel/shmmax=0x7fffffff
Now save and close and run this command (instead of rebooting):
sudo sysctl -p
Using Cinelerra
If you want to open go to Applications--->Sound & Video--->Cinelerra
Cinelerra is loading
Once it opens you should see similar to the following screen

Common Problem
When you try to launch Cinelerra you have to fix this error:
"cinelerra: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Solution
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
sudo sysctl -p
kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
kernel.maps_protect = 1
error: “Invalid argument” setting key “kernel.shmmax”
what wrong?
Try inserting this line in /etc/sysctl.conf, in place of the one given in the article:
kernel.shmmax = 2147483647
It’s the same thing, actually .. only, the number has been converted from Hex to Dec 😉
I’m sure everyone can figure this out on their own, but just in case someone is having problems who is new, it’s actually
sudo aptitude install cinelerra
instead of Cinelerra.thanks jason.I have updated the article
Still no joy on this.
I’ve done the shmmax thing & the sudo ln -s thing but now I have a core dump, so…

Got it installed and working, but will not read MOV quicktime movies captured with my camera…any help?
Error reading MOV file is:
virtual int FileMOV::read_frame(VFrame*): quicktime_read_frame/quicktime_decode_video failed, result:
I had the same problem as JohnC with core dumps.
According to
http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php
the version of Cinelerra from deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu32 ./ does not work with AMD systems. You need to uninstall and add the following repository and install from that instead:
deb http://repository.akirad.net/ akirad-gutsy main
I can’t seem to get cinelerra installed, here’s what I get:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cinelerra: Depends: libopenexr2c2a (>= 1.2.2) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
Can’t seem to install libopenexr2c2a as it is replaced by libopenexr2ldbl which will break other important packages if uninstalled. Any ideas?
trying to open .MOV files i get
virtual int FileMOV::read_frame(VFrame*): quicktime_read_frame/quicktime_decode_video failed
all files open fine and are usable and editable in kdenlive.
tried both cinelerrasv and cinelerracv from the akirad site.
have fast dual processors tons of ram and kdenlive works great
why won’t cinelerra open my .mov files
by the way it is cinelerra 2.1 and jaunty
I got this error:
void MWindow::init_shm0:WARNING:/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax is 0x2000000, which is too low.
Before running Cinelerra do the following as root:
echo “0x7fffffff”./proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
Do somebody knows about it? Please help. Thanks
I did the >>>>>>>
“Now open terminal and type
sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
And add this line to the bottom of the file this adds the extra memory for Cinelerra to run properly
kernel/shmmax=0×7fffffff
Now save and close and run this command (instead of rebooting):
sudo sysctl -p”
error: “Invalid argument” setting key “kernel.shmmax”
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
the problem is with the x in: kernel/shmmax=0×7fffffff
the correct value is: kernel/shmmax=0x7fffffff
Could you tell me why I get this error every time i run the project inside Cinelerra on ubuntu 10.04?
virtual int FileMOV::read_frame(VFrame*):quicktime_read_frame/quicktime_decode_video failed, result:
and any video runs slow and i can’t hear the sound. in ubuntu 9.04 worked fine 😐
Please send a feedback.Thanks
Regards.
Same problem as Alexds here: video runs slow (1/10th) and no sound.
Ubuntu 10.10, 64 bits

I have wasted hours in searching installation instructions for Cinelerra. I have also downloaded the latest version from Cinelerra website, but that too failed to work.Also the instructions in most of the website found not suitable for my Ubutu version.Atlast the following instruction in a website found working for my Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. They claim it will work for the following also.
Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 , Lucid 10.04, Karmic 9.10:
Here are the instruction.
Open a terminal by typing trl+ Alt+ T then paste the following commends one by one. Wait for each instruction to execute.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cinelerra-ppa/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinelerra
for details see the website:
http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/installation.html
If that dosent work try adding ppa by issuing the following command in a command line by pressing Crrl+Alt+T
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa
it will fetch the ppa, then issue the command
sudo apt-get update
now try the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cinelerra-ppa/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinelerra
