Recently installed Cinelerra on Ubuntu edgy launches OK, but always
displays this notice first:


You can do it as it says. Before launching Cinelerra become root and tell kernel to increase shmmax.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo su
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/vuolasah# echo "0x7fffffff" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

Original sudo echo didn't work for me. I' mostly running edgy too. For Cinerella I use Dynebolic CD which has no distractions like Ubuntu has.

I'm also curious. Where should I put it in initscript if I always want to use 0x7fffffff as shmmax?

I don't know what it means, but can I avoid having to do this everytime
I launch cinerella ?+

And the meaning of the error is that cinelerra will unable to allocate large portion of shared memory Obviously that is set by default to 2GB so that nothing shouldn't get wild and allocate more than it is capable of handling. It's the border of 32bit integer.

Also increasing the shmmax you decrease maximum number of different applications if they all allocate a lot of memory.
