Problem with fresh install in Fedora 32

[tony_redink2000]

I've just installed a fresh system of Fedora 32.
While trying to install AfterShotPro3 I get this error.

dnf install ./'AfterShotPro3.rpm'
Last metadata expiration check: 1:24:02 ago on Sun 02 Aug 2020 17:04:57.
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests

- nothing provides libgstreamer-0.10.so.0()(64bit) needed by AfterShotPro3-360380:3.6-0.380.x86_64
- nothing provides libgstapp-0.10.so.0()(64bit) needed by AfterShotPro3-360380:3.6-0.380.x86_64

I've seen a few postst that suggest using the repo from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs ... eamer0.10/
However, there are even more dependancies that are not met.

dnf install gstreamer-plugins-good

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

I've asked Corel support if (and when) they plan to update the dependencies, but so far no useful answer.
But, since Qt versions are binary compatible, you can try the following (seems to work for me op opensuse):

Make sure you have Qt 5.x installed (use the version from your distribution, for my situation it's Qt 5.12)
Then install AfterShot, ignoring the missing dependencies.
Goto the lib dir inside the installation directory (/opt/AfterShot3(64-bit)/lib)

Remove ALL libraries except libbibblesdk.so.5 and libOpenCL.so.1

Now you should be able to launch/use AfterShot without problems.
(Not everything is tested this way, so it might be that you run into problems..)

[rstory]

I had one more issue after following kneeke's suggestion - /opt/AfterShotPro(64-bit)/bin/qt.conf was setting pluging path to Aftershot's version. Also, I did not restore libOpenCL.so.1 and ocl-icd was providing a version in /usr/lib64/.

My steps:

* install AfterShot without dependency check

Code: Select all

rpm -ivh --nodeps AfterShotPro3_64bit-3.6-0.380.rpm

* install qt

Code: Select all

dnf install qt

* remove embeded libs in /opt/AfterShot3(64-bit)/lib (except libbibblesdk)

Code: Select all

cd /opt/AfterShot3(64-bit)/lib
mkdir oldlibs.xx
mv * oldlibs.xx/
mv oldlibs.xx/libbibblesdk.so.5 ./

* comment out plugin path in embedded /opt/AfterShot3(64-bit)/bin/qt.conf

Code: Select all

#[Paths]
#Plugins=/opt/AfterShot3(64-bit)/lib/plugins

* Now try and start. You *might* need compat-openssl10

Code: Select all

dnf install compat-openssl10

[tony_redink2000]

I followed the steps by rstory which got Afteshot back up and running.
I found I needed to edit the qt.conf commenting out the pugin dir file and couple of extra libraries. libqt5keychain.so.1 and libQt5WebKitWidgets.so.5


dnf provides libqt5keychain.so.1
sudo dnf install qtkeychain-qt5
sudo dnf reinstall qt
dnf provides libQt5WebKitWidgets.so.5
sudo dnf install qt5-qtwebkit

Any luck in making this work with Fedora 32? Mixed results here... Thanks to Daniel for helping get it this far.. https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/how-to-afte ... edora.html

Hi!
Here is the workaround how to make AfterShot run in container on probably any modern Fedora or other distro.
I have installed AfterShoot in Fedora 31, last known to work with AS, inside container running on Fedora 33.

Dockerfile:

Code: Select all

FROM fedora:31
ADD AfterShotPro3.rpm /AfterShotPro3.rpm
ADD start.sh /start.sh
RUN dnf -y install AfterShotPro3.rpm glx-utils xterm mesa-dri-drivers compat-openssl10 xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi dejavu-sans-fonts dejavu-serif-fonts liberation-serif-fonts 
CMD ["/start.sh"]

AfterShot is started via

Code: Select all

start.sh

because something needs to initialize GLX. In this case glxinfo. So entry point script looks like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
glxinfo
/usr/bin/AfterShot3X64

Build the image:
Build the image with command:

Code: Select all

$ buildah bud -t aftershoot:3

Run the container
Here is some magic. The container needs access to the hardware, network, .Xauth and your images folder:

Code: Select all

$ podman  run --net host --privileged --env "DISPLAY" --volume "$HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority:rw" --volume "/etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id"  --volume "/home/marcinek/Obrazy:/root/Pictures" localhost/aftershoot:3

Cleanup
Containers tends to stay in "Exited" state after main job finishes so they need to be manually deleted:

Code: Select all

$ podman ps -a                                                   
CONTAINER ID  IMAGE                   COMMAND    CREATED         STATUS                    PORTS   NAMES
f347e4a86118  localhost/aftershoot:3  /start.sh  44 seconds ago  Exited (0) 3 seconds ago          festive_banach

$ podman container rm f347e4a86118                                   
f347e4a861185c3c663d0203ba1b2e6854692cae30303a2e4cb3c42bb70d8b30

Considerations
There is the way to make containers disappear after the exit.
Question for Corel: Which directory should I map for my container to save the license? Now it starts trial period every time the container is started.

Enjoy!

And that amount of additional fannying about, simply in order to make a commercial product work, is OK with you?

It's like buying a car, having to build the engine yourself, and being happy with the deal...
