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

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:

the problem is with the x in: kernel/shmmax=0×7fffffff

the correct value is: kernel/shmmax=0x7fffffff

I got this error:
void MWindow::init_shm0:WARNING:/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax is 0×2000000, 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”

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?

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’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.

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

By: tubuntu

tubuntu — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 00:56:39 +0000

sudo sysctl -p
kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
kernel.maps_protect = 1

error: “Invalid argument” setting key “kernel.shmmax”

what wrong?
