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=0×7fffffff
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 cinelerrainstead 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?
