especially this post: "Ubuntu 19.04 is new and has been released after the
current Lightworks release V14.5. That might explain the problem.
I can imagine that it will be addressed with the next version of Lightworks,
but this might take a while for final release.
For the time being, Lightworks runs on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS very well." Chris

Problem installing lightworks from .deb, changing primary display has no effect
Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with a
freshly installed Ubuntu Studio 19.04. When I click the .deb
file downloaded from the lightworks website,
it opens in "Software". When I click the install button, I
see the progress bar show up and start at 0% when the
Authentication window pops up. When I enter my password and
confirm, the progress bar just disappears and the "Install"
button shows up again, and the program has not been
installed. This is not a problem for other .deb files.
Any idea why this would be the
case, or how to work around it simply? This wasn't a problem
on 18.04.
Two issues:
1) Lightworks only supports installation on LTS releases (aka 18.04
with the Backports).
2) Ubuntu Studio (and Ubuntu in general) does not support
installation from outside the official repositories, so please do
not expect support for that here. Please seek support from
Lightworks, but as I mentioned, they only support installation on
LTS releases.Thanks for the heads up. Just out of curiosity, where did you
see that Lightworks only supports installation on LTS releases? I can't seem to
find where that's stated, but it's probably right in front of my face. Also,
when I change my primary
display, nothing changes. The top bar along with the whisker
menu, time, and icons stay where they are. Is that not what
the primary display is supposed to change?
Might be an issue with Xfce. Not the first time I've heard of this
happening, but I don't have any problems when going multi-display on
my end, and have no issues setting my primary display.

PS. Are people aware that on this page the
http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/support/mailinglists/ link
is broken?
I wasn't, but I don't pay any attention there. I'll let the
powers-that-be know there's an issue.Thank you, I appreciate it.
Also, how are people supposed to
make use of the archives here to make
sure a question hasn't already been asked? Are you supposed
to download the whole archive and search it on your own
machine??
It is well known that the archives are not searchable, which is one
of the reasons askubuntu.com exists. In fact, askubuntu.com is the
FIRST place one should go for support anymore. It's searchable and
answers can be updated far into the future, making it much more
future-proof than mailing lists, which are very much an outdated
method of receiving support. The Ubuntu community (and Canonical)
are pushing to make it the primary method of support.
I hope this helps. Perhaps someone else has insight to the
lightworks issue. However, I have to, from an official Ubuntu (and
Ubuntu Studio) standpoint, say the lightworks issue receives no
support here.You've been very reasonable, thank you. I think I'll just go
back to 18.04, and take any issues I have to askubuntu.com.Best,John
