Description | so basically, im a distro hopper to some extend, i love using arch a lot, but i couldnt get resolve working there, so i moved to a more studio based distro, "ununtu studio", and resolve worked, but crap, so i tried to find an alternative, flowblade was nice, but became laggy fast, shotcut is my current alternative, but im not that happy with it, i wanna give cinelerra a good try, but when i followed the instructions on the web i got an error, when i tried to run the single user use thingy, i got the same error, (i ran from terminal), heres the output: Cinelerra Infinity - built: Jun 30 2020 07:01:27 git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git (c) 2006-2019 Heroine Virtual Ltd. by Adam Williams 2007-2020 mods for Cinelerra-GG by W.P.Morrow aka goodguy Cinelerra is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions.

@Askar Thank you for reporting this error as it gave us incentive to look into it. Which is the LC_CTYPE setting (and may be other Locale settings too). When I set this to what you have, I clearly get the same error as shown here: LC_CTYPE="en_IL" /mnt0/build5/cinelerra-5.1/bin/cin # set LC_CTYPE and start Cinelerra ... BC_WindowBase::init_im: Could not open input method. unjoined tids / owner 1 00007fca417fa700 / 00007fca90487840 12BC_Clipboard The above is an O/S error. It might be as simple as just setting "LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8" and exporting it before starting Cinelerra. Or you can even put this in your bash startup file or run from the command line like I did above. |

@Askar This message means that the function "XOpenIM" (X Open Input Method) failed. The call is XOpenIM(display,0,0,0). ie open any input method on the display. If it fails, it means that X did not associate an input device (usually a keyboard) to the display. I googled "XOpenIM failed" and it seems that sometimes the locale can cause a failure. What is your "locale"? A suggestion on the internet was to use "LC_CTYPE-en_GB.utf8" on the command line. Please reply with what your locale is and which desktop you are using so we can help. To get this information type "locale" in a window and send the output. |
