hi,
i run gentoo linux 2.6.8-r3 on an athlon xp2000 with gforce 5980
i've installed cinelerra from source with all dependecies
but if i load a movie (no matter what format) and play it, cinelerra crashes when i hit the stop button
nothing works then anymore, i have no idea what this could be?!?!
does anybody here has expirience with cinelerra?

I got the following error message when i tried to run it as root:

bash-2.05b# cinelerra
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server

thx, DL

That error usually means your attempting to run a program in X while logged in as someone else. Who are you running the program specifcally as and who are you logged in thru X as?

never run applications as root !!!

if you want to anyway you can allow root to open windows by running
xhost + localhost
as the user you logged in.

hi,
normaly i'm logged in as user, how do i find out how i'm logged into X?



thx

Logged into X? If you have a graphical user interface running, that means X is running.

you can simply remenber the name you typed in at the gdm / kdm
login prompt or you open a terminal and ask it

whoami

you tried to start cinelerra within a graphical envirement right ?
if not you have to do so.
