1. First thing you have to do is to edit the source.list. Open the terminal and enter the following commands.

deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu32 ./

These are for 32-bit users, and for 64-bit is,

deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu64 ./

2. Update your source.list by typing this command into your terminal.

sudo apt-get update

3. Now that your source.list is up-to-date it's time to install the cinelerra now.

sudo apt-get install cinelerra

4. The next thing you have to do is to edit the configuration in order to modify it's memory allocation.

sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf

then, add this syntax in the last part of the configuration file

kernel/shmmax=0×7fffffff

5. To avoid restarting enter this command in your terminal and press Enter.

sudo sysctl -p

Then run Cinelerra now. If you encountered some error as shown below saying that......then maybe there is a problem on your sysctl.config.

WARNING! Cinelerra is running in 0x2000000, which is have a very low memory.

As a solution, open your terminal and paste this command and press enter.

echo "0x7fffffff" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
