[SOLVED] Zorin and Natron

Hello all and many thanks for the group.

Just wondering if anyone could help out a new Zorinite install Natron.

Can't make it work.

New to Linux and am loving the new world.

Best Regards

Hi, have you tried doing it from this site, and clicking on install?

https://snapcraft.io/natron

Tried the link.

Doesn't work. Says 'Don't know how to handle natron///' etc.

I can download and not install.

Says snapcraft is already in Zorin so I don't understand why I'd have any issues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

What happens on this link:
https://natrongithub.github.io/
if you select download, Linux -and grab the installer? I tested it on my machine and it worked.
Open with archive manager, extract, then right click installer, select Properties and make sure that "allow run as Executable" is checked on.
It also has a flatpak option. You would need to install flatpak to try that, though.

Hi Aravisian, thanks for that information about flatpak - a warning though. FerenOS uses Flatpak and its negatives are that it fills up '/' with *.flatpak.cache's. I have 30 Gb '/' on Feren OS just as I have in Zorin but it started to say short of space. My first suspect was Linux Kernels but no, the biggest eater of space is Flatpak.cache(s). I've tried to remove based on advice elsewhere and the dev of Feren OS said he released an app to take care of it but nothing coming through. For now I would avoid flatpak - like Wayland it is immature.

I'll stay away from that.

Damn thing still won't go...

Are you getting any error messages?
May need to try a manual install...
https://debian.pkgs.org/sid/multimedia- ... 4.deb.html
Scroll down to check the "requires" - dependencies...
Scroll to Download and download the package.
Save it to your downloads folder.
Open terminal and

Code:

cd ~/Downloads

Then enter:

Code:

sudo dpkg -i natron_2.3.14-dmo3_amd64.deb

dpkg will try to install it. If there are missing dependencies, it will list them in that terminal window. You can then try to correct; please post the results here so we can help you correct issues.

"dpkg: error: cannot access archive 'natron_2.3.14-dmo3_amd64.deb': No such file or directory"

Doing something wrong I think...

What commands, in order, are you entering into terminal?

The ones that you posted.

cd ~/Downloads

sudo dpkg -i natron_2.3.14-dmo3_amd64.deb

If it's a deb package won't it install with Gdebi package installer? At least then you get to see if any dependencies are missing.

Where do I find that installer?

Apologies for not knowing.

Best Regards

Best Regards

Code:

sudo apt-get install gdebi

But be warned, it does not seem to work on Zorin 15 LITE.

Using the terminal as posted above will also tell you of any missing dependencies.

Seems to work...

Thank You.

Now what? LOL

Right click the package and select Open With: Gdebi

Sorry to say.

It won't let me.

'Could not open Natron-2.3.14 Linux-84_64bit'

'The Package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file. Check the permissions of the file.'

Best Regards once again...

Ok, I examined the pacakge, this is what I got with a freshly installed Zorin 15 lite:

Code:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of natron:

  Package libboost-serialization1.67.0 is not installed.
natron depends on libgflags2.2; however:

Soo... yeah. That is quite a list. Let's change tactics.

Let's try this: In terminal

Code:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://ro.alwayshere.net/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list


Code:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb-src http://ro.alwayshere.net/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Code:

wget http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/deb-multimedia-keyring/deb-multimedia-keyring_2012.05.05_all.deb -O deb-multimedia-keyring.deb


Code:

sudo dpkg -i multimedia-keyring_all.deb

Code:

sudo apt update

Code:

sudo apt-get install natron

That should supply Natron with all the dependencies.

Obviously doing something wrong. Once again many thanks.

I just tested three methods and all failed- but it looks like there is a Snap Package for it. That may be why each install fails- it is no longer supported in the repositories.
Try snap:
IF YOU HAVE SNAP INSTALLED-SKIP THIS PART

Code:

sudo apt-get install snapd

Code:

snap install natron

Looks like I need an upgrade: Many thanks again.

error: snap "natron" is not available on stable for this architecture (i386)
but exists on other architectures (amd64).

Ah, chuckle- that would explain it. Hmmm.... If you feel like slithering down the rabbit hole, again:
Second option down is 32 bit
http://packages.deepin.com/deepin/pool/main/n/natron/
Download the package,
then

Code:

cd ~/Downloads

Code:

sudo dpkg -i natron_2.0.1_i386.deb

bash: cd~/Downloads: No such file or directory

Is it safe for me to use my old drive with Windows on it to upload it for a few mins?

Best Regards and thanks once again

Don't you mean after "d" in cd?

Yes, edited correction- I blame Sleep dep on that one. I meant what you said but typed what I said. Weird.

Been there, done that, got the Tee!

Installed.

Done and done.

Thank You Gentlemen. Thank You.
