I am looking to run the latest Cinelerra on Ubuntu 24.04. Nvidea RTX 2070, AMD Ryzen 7 3800X ( 8 core), 32 Gigs RAM, M2 NVME, Motu M2 audio card.
I have tried Cinelerra in the past and it was not usable. Am checking in to see if that has changed. However, there seems to be no way to install Cinelerra GG on my current OS. If anyone knows a quick and easy way to test, do let me know!
The easiest way to test is simply to download the file: CinGG-20251231-x86_64.AppImage at:
https://download.cinelerra-gg.org/?type=appimage
Be sure to make the downloaded file executable via:
chmod +x CinGG-20251231-x86_64.AppImage
If you have issues, be sure to let us know as it should work fine on Ubuntu 24 as far as I know.
I have indeed tried this and there are a lot of dependency issues that cannot be resolved. I could post the list of dependencies mentioned. It shows two that are missing and then the program gives up, as it were. Libfuse2, libflac8, I think were some of things the program clamored for...I tried to install those, but no candidate available...
I don't suppose you want to take the time to compile CinGG from source.
Initial problem appears to be that running appimage requires fuse3 instead of fuse2.
Here is a potential workaround that is easy to try.
1. /{path to appimage}/CinGG-20251231-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
2. /{path to appimage}/squashfs-root/usr/bin/./cin
Per the web, below is what could fix the problem. Please let us know if this works for you. Thanks.
You can install FUSE 2 alongside FUSE 3 without issues. The older version doesn’t replace the newer package; they coexist ...
To install FUSE 2 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or newer, open a new Terminal window and type (or paste) the following command:
sudo apt install libfuse2t64
If you’re on Ubuntu 23.04 or 23.10 (both are EOL, FYI) then the package name is just libfuse2 as Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was when all of the 64-bit t_time bug problems were tackled.
Press the enter/return key, enter your password to authenticate, and blink while the necessary library is downloaded, unpacked, and installed.
That’s it; now if you double-click on an AppImage to open it (assuming it has permission to run first, of course) it will open and run as intended.
