18.04 LTS - Is there a installation candidate for the emovix package?

  • 772

Installed K3B on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The emovix dependency, and/or optional programme is not installed. The emovix and/or movixmaker-2 packages are not in the 18.04 repos - is there a way to install this, or were they simply not packaged for 18.04?

k3b 18.04

    I see the following:

    1. Global package search on https://pkgs.org show results with 0.8.4 version only from Debian 7 (wheezy) and related Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty).
    2. Search on the https://repology.org show the same 0.8.4 in Debian and children.

    But you can install this package manually on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with the following commands:

    wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/movixmaker-2/movixmaker-2_0.8.4-2_all.deb
sudo apt install ./movixmaker-2_0.8.4-2_all.deb

    but it will not work with error:

    $ movixmaker-2  
Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at /usr/bin/movixmaker-2 line 214.

    so this package seems to be abandoned.

    The last possibility is to get files from SourceForge file pages:

    wget https://datapacket.dl.sourceforge.net/project/movix/eMoviX/0.9/emovix_0.9.0-1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./emovix_0.9.0-1_all.deb

    and maybe others. This will result in:

    $ movix-version 
0.9.0
