Hi Franz. What version of Ubuntu are you running? You've got mostly dapper repositories, and some edgy, with one or two breezy. I don't actually use Ubuntu; so, take any advice I give with caution. But, unless there's some reason you want breezy or dapper repositories, I would change these ones to edgy, and upgrade (upgrading should be no problem, but, again, I don't use Ubuntu). It appears that your system is on the verge of upgrading, but is being held back. I feel you should change your base system to edgy, from dapper, and get rid of a lot of the repositories that you don't need (your sources.list is huge). I don't know exactly what system you've got, or what programs you need, but for the basics, and Cinelerra, just having the following should work (I would comment out the rest of your sources.list, via adding a number sign, #, in front of the extraneous repositories): # main stuff for edgy deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse # updates for edgy deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse # edgy security deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted universe multiverse # commercial stuff for edgy deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu edgy-commercial main # multimedia stuff for edgy deb http://seveas.imbrandon.com edgy-seveas all deb-src http://seveas.imbrandon.com edgy-seveas all # cinelerra for edgy deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu32 ./ deb-src http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu32 ./ # end of suggested sources.list To not get irritating warnings, you'll need to import a key for the multimedia repositories. I think you can do this with the following command: wget http://seveas.imbrandon.com/1135D466.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - If there are things from your current sources.list that you want, or need, then by all means keep them, but I would change these to edgy, from Dapper. For instance, if you require nVidia or ATI drivers from an external repository (I doubt you do, but you may), then the current entry in your sources.list, which reads: # ATi & nVidia drivers Ubuntu packages deb http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/dapper/legacy/32bit binary/ Should be changed to: # ATi & nVidia drivers Ubuntu packages deb http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/legacy/32bit binary/ (note, I simply changed the "dapper" to "edgy".) I doubt you even require this repository, though (but, maybe, if 3d acceleration, or something, isn't working with the basic installation).....in fact, I just checked, and this repository (in either dapper or edgy flavours) doesn't even exist. I lot of your sources.list is clutter. "Less is more", as they say. Toss the clutter, and, hopefully, you'll get cinelerra working. If you're using Skype, or KDE, you have some repositories for these you might want to keep (for the KDE, and/or kunbuntu repositories, change dapper to edgy). I prefer aptitude, to synaptic, for package management. But, if you've been using synaptic, then it's best to stick with that. I feel aptitude, when used exclusively, gives cleaner and smarter installs and uninstalls, but, it gives erratic results if usage is mixed with synaptic over time. Synaptic, for the most part, works okay. Anyway, I suggest changing your sources.list, updating (or reloading), and then running "dist-upgrade" (or, in Synaptic, I think it's termed "smart upgrade"). Mark PS, I got the cinelerra repository off the cinelerra site (or, apparently, a fork of the initial heroinewarrior version): http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php PPS, I'm assuming you've got regular computer architecture (32 bit), and not PPC, AMD64, or something. > > Mark Grieveson wrote: > >> Hi Griff > >> I have just read your long post to Bill and hope you can > >> help/advise me too.
