Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
winff:
Installed: 1.4.3-1+ppa1p
Candidate: 1.4.3-1+ppa1p
Version table:
*** 1.4.3-1+ppa1p 0

1.4.1-1 0

Some time ago it worked quiet well. -> And that makes me think that I have all dependency's in place.
After selecting a video & setting following: "Convert To: Audio" and " Preset MP3"
I press "Convert" and "nothing" happens.
But: in the .winff folder the script is being generated and it works fine if I execute it manually.
Changing in preference the terminal to /usr/bin/
which lame ffmpeg avconv avplay
/usr/bin/lame
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
/usr/bin/avconv
/usr/bin/avplay
WINFF cmd output:
!/bin/sh
echo -n "\033]0; Converting Georgia Weidman Throw It in the River Towards Real Live Actual Smartphone Security-
/usr/bin/avconv -y -i "/home/
read -p "Press Enter to Continue" dumbyvar
rm "/home/
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that you are not using a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. However, because this package is maintained by me as well, I'll respond here anyway.
I believe you sent me a private e-mail earlier today, where you failed to mention that you were talking about a package from my private repository, if you report a bug in a private repository, please mention this fact.
In my mail to you I suggested two things, I see you tried one:
> Maybe you need to put the full path before xfce4-terminal, I am not
> sure that Winff launches with anything in the $PATH.
Apparently, this does not solve the issue.
> Also, please check that -e executes the full line, not only as one
> argument. There are multiple terminals around that don't behave
> properly. See e.g. bug 559556 [1] and 367954 [2]
I installed xfce4-terminal myself, and you need to specify "-x" instead of "-e" in the field "Terminal options". It seems I should file a similar bug as bug 559556 and bug 367954 against xfce4-terminal.
Closing this bug as invalid, as it is not a bug in Winff. I will create a prober bug against xfce4-terminal.
