Difficultly installing on ubuntu 16.4 #230

Closed explodingword closed 8 years ago

explodingword commented 8 years ago

I have been using flowblade 1.4 orginally on ubuntu 14.4 but have just updated my OS to the new long term support verison Ubuntu 16.4 and decided to upgrade flowblade to the 1.6 version as well. I had to do a clean install of the software, therefore updated manually all of the dependencies you highlighted on your site. My problem is that when flowblade is installed it says it is 1.4 not 1.6 and some of the filters such as Chroma Key have disappeared along with the recently added 1080p 50fps profile. I am at a lose as to what is happening. I tried to revert to the orginal 1.4 version which I had previously used successfully but the same problems present themselves. At this stage I feel that I may have to revert to Ubuntu 14.4 to get it back to working order. Aany suggestion would be most welcome.

Could you provide the terminal output from when you run the bad installation of 1.6 on 16.04? Open terminal and give command "flowblade" and copy paste output text here.

I will update myself to 16.04 once that is released, but currently I'm not able to test on 16.04.

Hopefully this is what you are asking for.

Thank you

You are running Flowblade from 16.04 repositories, not from deb provided here, you are running 0.14, which is from June 18, 2014.

First, delete your current flowblade version with:

sudo apt-get remove flowblade sudo apt-get autoremove

...and then follow instructions here: https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/blob/master/flowblade-trunk/docs/INSTALLING.md

I'm closing this as invalid.

Hi jliljebl

Just to update you. the problem was resolved when I changed the OS to 15.10.

I guess 16.4 has a bug or something, because no matter what i did it would only install flowblade 0.14.

Thank you for being back to me.

I was so wrong here. They have indeed gone and changed the functionality so that double clicking the .deb file installs the very old version 0.14.

It is possible to install 1.6 from .deb, but you need to use terminal to do it, see updated install instructions here: https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/blob/master/flowblade-trunk/docs/INSTALLING.md

I don't believe they have gone and done this...

jliljebl commented 8 years ago

Closing, as I do not know any possible fix here.
