Alsa causes lockup/freeze (link)

[Jan Gruuthuse]

you do select an installed (Alsa) audio device in avidemux?
Avidemux Menu -> Edit -> Preferences -> [Audio] -> AudioDevice

Press OK, exit avidemux, then check in avidemux if selection is kept. Test if the issue is gone.

Yes, I have done all that several times.  I have it set to AlsaDefault.  AlsaHw0 and all the other options do not work.

Perhaps it has to do with this?

And that I had to create an .asoundrc file to get the sound to work on this board?  Maybe that needs to be tweaked?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

probably: yes

Maybe that needs to be tweaked?

I have no idea, sorry.

[golinux]

Perhaps it has to do with this?

probably: yes

But now that I think about it, avidemux2_gtk worked on wheezy with that same .asoundrc file so it must be something in the current qt version.

Any chance of bringing back the gtk interface?  The qt version is not a pretty sight . . .

you could try

Code Select Expand

cd ~/avidemux2 && bash bootStrap.bash --deb --without-qt4 --with-gtk --with-cli
cd ~/avidemux2 && bash bootStrap.bash --rpm --without-qt4 --with-gtk --with-cli
No idea what works or doesn't work

or if you have Qt5 on your system: Compiling Avidemux 2.6.x
- Build .deb for debian/ubuntu, core + Qt5 + plugins
- Requirement list (debian/ubuntu): For Qt 5

Alternative:
- install ubuntu on separate partition (4GB)
- install ubuntu alongside debian (on same partition). Check with google if this would cause any issue, before doing so.

I finally got around to trying this from my desktop with:

Code Select Expand

:~/Desktop$ cd avidemux-2.6.8 && bash bootStrap.bash --deb --without-qt4 --with-gtk --with-cli

After installing several packages that couldn't be found, It failed with the following message.  sqlite3 is installed so what am I missing?

Those logs are rather incomprehensible.  Should I post them?  Any suggestions?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

you installed: libsqlite3-dev to?

Ah, no I hadn't. I did that and then it needed yasm too.  Tried again. It's now failing at CPack but almost there, I hope:

Appreciate your nursemaiding me through this process.

If you get more messages with reference to a log like (Please check /home/xxxxxx/Desktop/avidemux-2.6.8/buildCore/_CPack_Packages/Linux/DEB/Deb.log for errors). Get that log and compress to zip and and attach the zipped file to your message. Time permitting  developer(s) could have a peek at it and provide feedback.

Hope you getting there, running out of ideas here.

Will now go search for logs but may get distracted so be patient.

Here's the complete log.  No need to zip since it is so brief:

Possible a path issue? You're not building from git? And from desktop?
Can you try from ~/avidemux2 (home/current user/avidemxu2)

Code Select Expand

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2.git
you should now have a folder avidemux2
for next update:

Code Select Expand

cd ~/avidemux2 && git pull
build:

Code Select Expand

cd ~/avidemux2 && bash bootStrap.bash --deb --without-qt4 --with-gtk --with-cli

I just downloaded the source from the devuan merged repos (not from git) to my desktop.

Well

Code Select Expand

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2.git

didn't work.  Git remains a mystery to me . . .

Code Select Expand

~$ git clone https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2.git
bash: git: command not found

I imagine I'd have to set up an account there with the key and all that before this will work.  I tried to set things up on Devuan git but never could quite figure it out . . .

*edit*  I went to https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2 and downloaded the zip.  Maybe that will work from my user directory.

I think I'm missing some GTK or other pkgs.  buildCli and buildCore succeeded but then failed at buildGtk:

Code Select Expand

This is the end of the log:

At least I'm getting closer . . .

Build the Qt version, the Gtk one does not really work anymore
