Failed to start FF-Multi-Converter on Ubuntu 14.04
MyClonk opened this issue · 2 comments
I had downloaded FF-Multi-Converter from this side (Link: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ffmulticonverter/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/f/ffmulticonverter/ ). On this side I choos the package ffmulticonverter_1.6.0-1ppa1ubuntu13.10.1_all.deb, because Ubuntu is normally compatible with programs constructed for lower versions. I installed this package via SoftwearCenter and try to start it. As I start it I got a report of a problem, witch told me that ">>FF Multi Converter<< doesn't work.
Childprocess >>ffmulticonverter<< can't start. (Can't find the file or dictionary)"
One problem could be that under Ubuntu 14.04 FFmpeg is not in the sources, so you can't install it.
Hello and sorry for my late reply.
I don't have the latest ubuntu version installed in order to check it. I informed the ubuntu packager, probably the program should be packaged for 14.04 as well.
For now you can install it from source: https://github.com/Ilias95/FF-Multi-Converter
It's just a command: python3 setup.py install
And if you wish uninstalling is also easy: ./uninstall.sh
Hi, I'm the package maintainer for ffmulticonverter - https://launchpad.net/~ffmulticonverter/+archive/ubuntu/stable
You can now use the latest package for 14.04 from the launchpad ppa repository.
Packages for 13.10 and some other Ubuntu releases are now removed because the release number has reached its end of life date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
