I have used yast to install avidemux-2.5.3-4.pm.5.1.i586.rpm on suse linux 11.3. I was initially informed that I needed libaften.so.0 and libx264.so.88. I installed libaften0-0.08-4.pm.4.1.i586.rpm and libx264-88-0.0svn20100227-1.pm.2.2.i586.rpm . It then seemed to install without problems, but there was no sign of the installed program. On looking at the installation log there is the message “warning: /var/cache/zypp/packages/file-848ab314/avidemux-2.5.3-4.pm.5.1.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 9a795806: NOKEY”. Does this message have any relevance to my lack of a working program? Is this a bug? I had no problems with suse 11.2 and avidemux, unfortunately I can no longer remember how I installed it. I have a nvidia GT240 video card.

Post result of:
rpm -qi avidemux
In fact if you type just: avidemux
in a terminal, does it start the program
Did you reboot?
avidemux in the terminal produces " If ‘avidemux’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf avidemux " either as myself or as root. I have rebooted several times. I can use yast to delete it, I have tried reinstalling it. Yast claims that program has installed alright. Searching produces lots of files and folders, but nothing that will start avidemux. The re-installation produces the same warning in the installation log.
rpm -qi avidemux pruduces:-

Summary : Video processing tool
Description :
Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and
encoding tasks. It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible
MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs.
Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting
capabilities.
Distribution: main_pm / openSUSE_11.3
The graphical interfaces are in packages avidemux-gtk and avidemux-qt.
Have you tried installing the Qt4 or Gtk frontends? I have avidemux with the Qt4 frontend and I can confirm that the application works. However, when I just type ‘avidemux’ in a terminal, there is nothing; the command has to be ‘avidemux2_qt4’.
So, I suppose you just need to add either one of the gui frontends … Just search for ‘avidemux’ in YaST and see what comes up.
putting avidemux into yast just produced avidemux. I then tried going to the packman site and down loaded avidemux-gtk-2.5.3-4.pm.5.1.i586.rpm. Installing this has sorted out my problem. Should this have just been included in the package? The kicker launcher now launches avidemux. I shall now try it with avidemux-qt-2.5.3-4.pm.5.1.i586.rpm and I have every expectation that this will also work. Many thanks for the input. Also to everybody that contributed feed back.Regards Keith.
P.S. avidemux-qt-2.5.3-4.pm.5.1.i586.rpm also work, again many thanks.
