Another computer problem in the world order. This time it dealt with a free and open source application called Cinelerra GG, that I installed on MX Linux. Cinelerra allows you to edit video, create videos, create video documentaries, etc.
I installed Cinelerra on a quad core desktop computer with MX Linux distribution. However, the first time I tried launching this application from the program menu, nothing happened. Further investigation of mine did not lead to a solution.
I tried launching Cinelerra GG via the command line with this simple command:
cin
Cinelerra still would not open. However, by running it in a command line terminal, an error message was displayed on screen. The file libva-drm.so.1 was missing.
I tried installing this missing library file with the following command:
apt-get install libva-drm.so.1
Unfortunately, apt-get could not find this file. This type of fiasco is nothing new in Linux. Especially, if you use a derivation Linux distribution like MX Linux.
MX Linux is a Debian derivation distribution based on Debian Linux. It by no means is exactly the same as Debian, Ubuntu, etc. I could not find this exact Linux library file in any Internet searches.
Finally, I used rpmfind.net and found the correct library file. However, it was named differently. The correct Linux library file to install is:
libva-drm1
The correct command to run is:
apt-get install libva-drm1
This library file successfully installed without adding any additional repository. Cinelerra then successfully launched. These instructions were written for MX Linux 18.3 installed on a quad core computer. However, you can use these instructions as a basis point for other possible Linux distributions.
Initially, I had to enable the IGN cinelerra-gg.org repository in MX Linux, in order to install Cinelerra GG program. These are the types of problems that can arise when using a non standard so to speak Linux distribution.
Cinelerra GG – Not Launching After Installation Fix Video Transcript
00:00
SJS wrong cone EDA a niqab intercom
00:05
ultra video poverty boy so I recently
00:09
created my own quiet manner and that's
00:14
what happens when you use Linux it's not
00:16
perfect all but the the Linux called you
00:19
know anyways I don't want to digress
00:21
about that they're almost as bad as the
00:24
wind blows called and the Macan crap
00:27
cult all right
00:28
Sinha Lara Gigi is a free and open
00:32
source video editor you can edit videos
00:35
you can actually create into a video or
00:38
you could literally create a movie
00:40
documentary with it I'm not going to be
00:43
discussing it when I first went to hence
00:48
the title of this video not launching
00:50
after installation fix so I installed
00:53
cinelerra GG and then I try to launch it
00:56
and through the startup menu on Linux
01:02
and I received nothing I was like kind
01:07
of like now you can't see but I'm
01:09
twiddling my well I'm on this countertop
01:13
you might be able here
01:14
those are my fingers you know waiting
01:19
waiting nothing then I tried to run
01:23
cinelerra via command prompt now on
01:27
Linux cinelerra
01:29
you can open it by just typing C I N and
01:34
click on the link in the description box
01:36
below of this YouTube video for full
01:40
details about this quagmire at my
01:43
website enoch appears calm where I
01:45
include all the commands that you're
01:47
going to need to type in and run to fix
01:51
this problem and this [ __ ] computer
01:53
is loud I don't know if you can hear
01:55
that I need to replace the fan wow what
02:01
a bastard
02:05
is it vibrating anyways I'm sure I'm
02:09
talking loud enough over so you would
02:14
just type in CIN into a terminal window
02:17
on Linux and that's another way to open
02:20
it
02:24
this time it didn't work well what the I
02:28
don't know what I don't know what this
02:30
computer's problem is maybe it's warm in
02:33
here and that's why the fans turned on
02:35
and but that's a lot of noise
02:38
alright I'll just ignore the [ __ ]
02:41
annoying fan if I can
02:47
[ __ ]
02:50
it was noisy earlier today and it didn't
02:54
blow up or overheat it was missing a
02:59
file and the file that is missing that
03:02
you can see on screen in my blog post is
03:07
a Linux library file called
03:12
l ib v a - d RM the error I received
03:19
though was yes it just basically said
03:23
that Lib VA - DRM da s o dot one was
03:29
missing all right
03:31
and so I was like well no big deal
03:34
this is nothing new Linux you'll run
03:36
into if you've ever used Linux sometimes
03:39
files just don't get installed every
03:41
other file when I went to install
03:43
cinelerra there'll be over time but for
03:45
now let's cut to the chase
03:46
what fix this problem of getting a blank
03:51
screen or you know you're staring at the
03:53
screen for five hours because cinelerra
03:56
did not launch is you have to well this
04:00
was a clue I just had to install the
04:03
correct library file however since the
04:06
name of the file was dot s o dot one and
04:09
then live VA - DRM I tried to type into
04:14
a command line apt - get install live VA
04:17
- DRM and it did not work I had to go to
04:24
rpm find net and I found the correct
04:28
library file you'll run across this once
04:31
in a while in Linux I'm also using a non
04:34
instead what I would consider a non
04:35
standard Debian derivation distribution
04:38
called
04:39
MX Linux it is not the exact same as
04:42
Debian or Ubuntu Ubuntu is also a Debian
04:46
derivation Linux distribution they're
04:49
not going to be the same
04:51
I had to install lib VA - DRM one it was
05:02
missing the number one and then I on rpm
05:07
find net I kept searching for the the
05:11
exact file that the error output and it
05:18
didn't find it and until it eventually
05:21
found one that I might have or looked it
05:23
on the internet search couldn't find the
05:25
correct library file but on rpm find net
05:28
I scrolled to and I know this one I was
05:30
like well it's almost the same and I was
05:33
like well you know what I'll just
05:34
[ __ ] try it and the the naming
05:37
convention wasn't correct and it may be
05:40
in the script for cinelerra I'm just not
05:42
100% sure or it could be because I'm
05:44
using a different Linux distribution you
05:48
know I'm saying so I installed live VA -
05:52
DRM one with this command and it was a
05:58
small file I don't know a couple hundred
06:00
thousand kilobytes or whatever and let
06:04
me show you
06:07
apt - get install live VA - erm one it
06:12
installed and then I typed in sin in a
06:16
command line and it opened right up so
06:20
that's all it was that was an easy fix
06:21
but with computers and information
06:24
technology and even with Linux
06:26
it's not always easy you know what I'm
06:29
saying and was there anything else I
06:32
need to add my video box into this
06:37
anyways that I just added this at the
06:39
last minute all right anything else now
06:42
in order to install this is over time
06:45
you can leave the priori Birdie already
06:47
left I don't [ __ ] care how long you
06:50
watch my videos as long as you watch the
07:00
man
07:03
all right I had to add the IGN Sinha
07:11
Lara - Gigi or repository in order to
07:16
get cinelerra to even install on this MX
07:20
Linux you know I'm Sam and so that that
07:22
happens you'll notice that you're you're
07:26
scrambling you think oh well I'm oh yeah
07:29
I'm gonna be video editing and I'm gonna
07:30
be making documentaries I'm gonna become
07:32
famous no because the system's rigged
07:34
but I'm just saying you know with your
07:37
free and open source cinelerra GG and
07:40
you're gonna just everybody's oh you're
07:41
gonna get a lot of females they're just
07:45
gonna swoon over you because of your
07:47
video editing prowess and then you go to
07:50
install set you're even bragging you
07:53
know are you gonna release a video
07:54
documentary exposing the pale skinned
07:57
European supremacist system that's
07:59
destroying the planet and then you go to
08:02
install it on Linux and wot wot wha you
08:05
can't install it because it's not
08:07
included with your Linux distributions
08:10
repository and then you had to add the
08:12
repository you have to find the correct
08:14
one oh [ __ ] and then when you do install
08:18
cinelerra well [ __ ] you're missing a
08:21
file so it's nothing new
08:23
nothing new at all
08:26
so I just had to add that repository and
08:29
then it was just missing one file so you
08:31
know that [ __ ] like that happens
08:35
this this I'm about to take this desktop
08:39
computer and put it out of its misery
08:43
so let me show you quickly what it
08:47
cinelerra looks like after I fixed the
08:50
problem and it works now you would
08:55
normally go to the program menu and then
08:59
you would go to multimedia and then I
09:02
just heard a noise I just [ __ ] heard
09:03
a noise
09:04
these idiots and morons that you know
09:08
stay in motels and hotels or obnoxious
09:11
man gone are the days when you can live
09:14
a peaceful life with these goddamn
09:16
Americans so
09:29
that I fixed it I was going to try to
09:33
there's four parts of it this is a
09:36
compositor or what the video would be
09:38
here if you added it and then here's
09:41
what
09:42
and then here's the viewer you can watch
09:46
the video and then you can work on it at
09:49
the same time and then you know I'm
09:52
saying I just wanted to demonstrate that
09:57
actually it works
09:58
and up here you can even see that it
10:00
says cinelerra program and I was gonna
10:05
try to demonstrate and reverse-engineer
10:08
it
10:08
however the problem was is that I went
10:11
to remove that DRM file with the one you
10:16
know the live ba - DRM one well then it
10:20
it wanted to remove sin which is the
10:24
main program and I was like it didn't
10:27
give me the option of only removing the
10:29
library by itself now when originally
10:32
the library file was missing and it did
10:35
install sin but without that library
10:38
file it did not open and so I could not
10:41
there might be away with a script or a
10:44
backup but I didn't now I'm not gonna go
10:46
that far but I wanted to demonstrate it
10:48
and show you that you know well let's
10:51
see it doesn't work oh you know what
10:52
before I run I'll show you command-line
10:54
real quick and on Linux you don't you
10:57
have to no command line I mean there's
10:59
just no way around it really you know
11:01
I'm saying you should know command line
11:03
well Windows has command line although
11:05
wind blows you might blow up your
11:07
windows-based computer Mac and crap also
11:10
has a terminal
11:12
similar results there you may blow it up
11:14
Linux you know yeah I don't know about
11:17
blow ups but you'll create some
11:21
Quagmire's you don't know what you're
11:22
doing
11:23
so here is you know the command line in
11:28
Linux so what you would do is you would
11:30
go browse to my own blog post this in
11:34
the description box below and has full
11:36
instructions you can even copy and paste
11:39
because I made sure that they were
11:40
verbatim
11:42
which is like for example apt - get
11:48
install and then you're gonna let me
11:53
move let me make sure I get the right
11:55
damn it come on come on I'm using two
12:00
monitors to record this video oh there
12:02
it is
12:03
live VA - erm one live VA - erm one
12:12
okay livvie a Lib for library va - RM 1
12:21
it says is our anything newest version
12:27
and set to manual
12:29
that's all you
12:32
you should only have to
12:34
and install the correct library and with
12:38
Linux and asked it it is case sensitive
