Thanks and progress with video editor
Hi NMGLUG folks, I want to say thanks to everyone who has helped me to move forward with installing a video editor. The rest of this email is directed to Jason. Thanks for your detailed instructions with CLI commands. With this help, I had a lot of success. Below are details. Results from # apt-get update Mostly successful, threw the following errors: Err:11 http://ppa.launchpad.net/kdenlive/kdenlive-stable/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80] ...

They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Results from # apt-get install kdenlive openshot flowblade lives olive-editor pitivi Mostly successful, threw the following error: E: Unable to locate package olive-editor Results from $ apt-cache search video edit List of 53 items Results from $ apt-cache search lives video edit List of 6 items Results from # apt-get install lives-plugins 2 newly installed Next, I looked in my menu under "Sound and Video". I found Kdenlive added as the only addition to the menu. I launched Kdenlive. There was an error message about Breeze. I ignored that. I think that it is only a skin. I've experimented with Kdenlive. It seems to be working OK. I will need to learn how to use it before I'll know if it's really working well or not. I found a tutorial which suggested to change the skin to Breeze. That functionality is missing for me. Nonetheless, my initial experiments with editing have been successful, I think. So, thanks again. About Ubuntu, I recognized that the link from leopoldo was for Ubuntu. I tried the CLI command there in my Debian unsuccessfully. I have Debian on my new, wonderful X240 which you helped set up for me. I have Lubuntu and Xubuntu on two other machines which I rarely use now. Best, LeRoy -- I am the Love of God, no matter what.

Hi LeRoy
Results from # apt-get update Mostly successful, threw the following errors: Err:11 http://ppa.launchpad.net/kdenlive/kdenlive-stable/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]
You need to take the kdenlive ppa out of your apt config. Adding Ubuntu repositories to your Debian is a good way to break your system.

Remove the ppa first and try again.
Results from # apt-get install lives-plugins 2 newly installed
This would have installed lives and lives-plugins. Nothing else
