This is an extremely rare situation with PPA's in my experience.įYI: The above information applies to anything being installed from the Mint Update Manager. If notifies me of updates to any of these programs, I will re-enable the PPA, and during the updates, I will make sure to uncheck any updates to "FFmpeg" from "Dhor Trusty", then disable the PPA again. So, after installing this PPA and all the Photo and imaging programs that I want from it, I will disable the PPA by unchecking it in the Software Sources of the Mint Update Manager, and refreshing. VIP Note: There is another PPA that has a lot of really great updated Photo and Image related software applications that "" recommends (photivo, macrofusion, smartshine, fotoxx, photocollage, etc.), and it also has a version of "FFmpeg", that unfortunately wants to remove some other application programs that I want to keep, like the excellent "OBS" (open broadcast streaming app.). Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-hedgerows/ffmpeg-backports Here are the available reliable PPA's for FFmpeg that I know of. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kirillshkrogalev/ffmpeg-next Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media To install this using the PPA method, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one: Some people, myself included, depending on the PPA will install the PPA, then update, and install any applications that you need or want from it, then go into the Mint Update Manager, Software Sources, PPA, and disable the PPA, by unchecking it, and refreshing. You can easily disable and or remove a PPA through the Update Manager if you want or need to. There are a few reliable and safe PPA's to get the current FFmpeg, I have two installed, and I have not had any problems with my system by installing these. The "FFmpeg" programs are very important because they are used by a lot of applications, including browsers. The repositories (repos, Software Manager, or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)) are not as up to date with FFmpeg programs, not sure about Linux Mint 18 though. If you run " inxi -Fxzd" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.Īs user "all41" just mentioned, and I agree with, I do not know of any method to get the current FFmpeg programs updated, except by using a PPA. It would help to know more about your system setup. If you are unsure, then say "No" and ask here, like you did. It is important for all users to be watchful when installing any software application or removing any application (in any operating system), that the process does not want to remove other software that you and or other applications and programs might need.
I just read your post and the good replies to it. Hi "Baldlygo", & Anyone Else Interested in this,
