software manager screwed

[Davida]

ERRRRRG!!!! Angry

I've been trying to get Cinelerra going ...I worked with it in OpenSuse but have changed to "Intrepid" for the more stable KDE 4.2.2 environment...but i am having lots of issues to get Cinelerra going...finally ...

I got to this site... http://www.jurecuhalev.com/blog/2008...trepid...where they brag that cinelerra comes fully working out of the box with "Intrepid"....I followed their possible choices for install...my python crashes and now my package manager will not even work at all!---Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
This is what I put in terminal:

root@MediaSlut:/home/davida# wget -q http://akirad.cinelerra.org/pool/addakirad.deb && sudo dpkg -i addakirad.deb && rm addakirad.deb && sudo apt-get update

root@MediaSlut:/home/davida# echo deb http://akirad.cinelerra.org akirad-intrepid main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list && wget -q http://akirad.cinelerra.org/dists/akirad.key -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

root@MediaSlut:/home/davida# http://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ub...inelerra/i686/ ./

Thanks for any help

Re: software manager screwed

The first 2 lines you ran make sense to me, but the last line seems to be typing and http URL into the commandline followed by the current directory. I don't know what you expect thsi to do but I wuold expect the shell to tell it has no idea what you want.

You say you package manager is all messed up? Run
sudo aptitude update
and see if it works.

Re: software manager screwed

Shoot... the first two lines do seem strange as syntax goes but that is what I cut and pasted from the site...unless there are syntax that represent separation in the semantics for line entry..I have been in windows hell for the past year and very rusty on the linux command line...and rather pushing it to get things working for some projects...anyway thai is what I get repeated for all in the list

E: Type 'universehttp://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ubuntu/intrepid/cinelerra/i686/http://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ubuntu/intrepid/cinelerra/i686/http://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ubuntu/intrepid/cinelerra/i686/' is not known on line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
: The list of sources could not be read.
?

Ahhhh...here is where i got the first two lines which are presented in reverse order -taken from terminal history-
http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#intrepid
I am not quite sure what they were getting at here but my software manager is mucked up now ...opps...there should be some way to remove the bad entries.

Re: software manager screwed

OK now the problem is visible. You have a messed up /etc/apt/sources.list file, or possibly a .list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. I really wish people would not post long lines of shell commands ANDed together thinking that people who do not know what they do should run them as root.

Probably you have a file called akirad.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d that was created by one of your commands. It intended to add a source line so that your package manager could install software from that repository. It is not right somehow, so the update does not work. You can edit that file as root
sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list
and try to fix it. Mys suggestion is to first move that file somewhere else adn run
sudo aptitude update
just to make sure it works. Then try to fix the file and put it back in sources.list.d.

Re: software manager screwed

All righty now...fixed...it seems that not only did I creat the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list, but those other commands piped some very mixed up stuff to /etc/apt/sources.list... I moved the akirad.list and then ended up deleting the content within the sources.list which gave a clean slate for the software manager to rebuild the info from my choices in the gui.

Thanks yooz very muchly

Re: software manager screwed

Well, the line:deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ub...inelerra/i686/ ./ goes into the sources.list and then apt-get update and apt-get install cinelerra work,,, only after all of that I now get:

cinelerra: Depends: libmjpegtools0c2a (>= 1:1.8.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libquicktimehv (= 1:2.1.0-1svn20060912) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libx264-59 (>= 1:0.svn20080408) but it is not installable
so I will have to find out which programs use these and uninstall...any ideas how to make this as painlesws as possible?
