starting Avidemux gui from terminal:

Code Select Expand

/usr/bin/avidemux3_qt5
check if the binaries are installed there! else change path /usr/bin/ to correct location.

[OkropNick]

Thank you for all your patience. Problem solved. It was permissions problem on my system and has nothing to do with Avidemux. Great software. Thread can be closed and removed.

[eumagga0x2a]

Could you please give more details? Did the shared libraries of the plugins lack execute permissions? Maybe there is something the convenience script should take care of.

[OkropNick]

I have umask set to 007 and that was the reason why Avidemux couldn't access his files after I compiled it by "bash bootStrap.bash --prefix=/usr/local" and after compilation copied by "sudo cp -R install/usr/* /usr/"

[eumagga0x2a]

Thanks.
