Unable to load jpegs created in gimp.

Ok. I decided to start over. I uninstalled 2.5.4, and all other avidemux files.
I re downloaded the 161120_88.
I fixed the permission to allow.
I double click on the downloaded app.
And again, nothing happens. Avidemux does not even open now.

You are running a 64bits os, right ?

[3d420]

Nope.
Linux Mint 17.1 "Rebecca" - MATE (32-bit)

[3d420]

So, I've deleted avidemux again, and I'm ready to start over.
Now what? Should I download a different app? Go back to my software manager? (that's how I ended up with 2.5 in the first place).

[3d420]

Can you upload such a jpeg?

I tried, but it was too big for the forum.

You can save the jpeg in Gimp as .png, is the png opening in avidemux (installed or app?)

I will try that once I have it installed again with the proper version. Right now I have nothing.

Due to a 32 bit version the only option you have is to build Avidemux from source.

edit: I've already mentioned that this is very easy, though some features might be not available because of your very outdated distribution.

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2.git
cd avidemux2
bash createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash

and have some coffee. Once the .deb packages are ready, the script will ask again for your user password to perform the installation.

[3d420]

It asked for my password before anything, then downloaded a bunch of files, then stopped. It says "Reading package lists... Done".

edit: nevermind...

The first line updates the local package database. Now please run the second.

[3d420]

I don't understand.  What should I do next?

[eumagga0x2a]

You've apparently run only the first command out of five:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get update

This command requests the user passwort to update the package database. Once the command has exited, you get the prompt (usually it looks like

Code Select Expand

[your_username@hostname ~]$

pay attention to the "$" sign!) back. The second command

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get install git

installs a tool which will download Avidemux source. The third command

Code Select Expand

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

downloads the source into folder "avidemux2", the forth

Code Select Expand

cd avidemux2

changes directory into the folder "avidemux2" and the last one runs a script which installs build dependencies, compiles Avidemux and installs it.

[3d420]

Ok. I see the folder. Now what?

[eumagga0x2a]

Which command did you run last?

[3d420]

cd avidemux2

[eumagga0x2a]

The run the last command in the list, please:

Code Select Expand

bash createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash

[3d420]

Ok, I ran it. Now what?
