#299 - 20111124 - Cleanup after Snow Storm Albert

2nd of 2 videos to reflect on how fragile our infrastructure is, how dependent we are on it and how some of us came together to surmount the obstacles. This storm brought out the best in some and the worst in others. May adversity bring out the best in you.

This was also a good chance to get acquainted with Kdenlive, the best free non-linear video editing software for Linux, period! Two small problems I ran into installing it were easily overcome by visiting the developer web site and installing the most up to date version and dependencies. Here are the terminal commands that smoothed out all the wrinkles. This first one adds the repository and installs in one shot.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sunab/kdenlive-release && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kdenlive

2nd glitch I ran into was garbled sound. Seems Kdenlive doesn't play nice with Pulse audio unless you tell it to. Here's what worked for me. This was found at http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/troubleshooting-and-common-problems/sound-bad-and-delayed

sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio

Getting closer every day to deleting all of my winblows partitions.
