Hi,

I hope I,m in the right catagory

Can someone advise if a program exists that runs in Linux (Ubuntu 9.02) that is similar to this windows based program?

thats a broken link.

if you are looking for a certain app you can take a look here:
1) http://linuxappfinder.com/all
2) http://www.linuxalt.com/
3) http://www.getdeb.net/ -> .deb packages
4) or you can use Wine. But Google extensively for your application compatibility with Wine.

Hmm, I've never used MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory but from that writeup, it looks like it just turns your photos into a slideshow for you.

You may want to take a read through this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1154558

Or take a look at this software: http://dvd-slideshow.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page

Or this software: http://smile.tuxfamily.org/

Hi,

I,m very much a newbie when it comes to Linux but I,m persisting.

I downloaded smile.tar.gz to my desktop and now I,m stumped how to loaded it. As a matter of I,ve never worked out how to install linux compatible programs from .tar.gz. I,m sure this is a compression file but what do i do with it once its downloaded

I also down loaded DVD slide 0.8.2.2 show and_all deb nad was able ti install this but I cant find where it installed to. Ive checked all icon on the applications menu- Buggared if I know.

Appreciate your help

dvd-slideshow is a set of command line tools (there's no gui for you to click on). You'll need to run this program from the command line, so it may not be the best for a beginner. (more documentation can be found on their website)


smile has a set of installation instructions on their website that walk through installing on an ubuntu machine (it looks like there's a few tweaks you need to do to get things working). Take a look here: http://smile.tuxfamily.org/?q=node/33 or here: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/smile
Also, if you don't know how to compile programs from source yet, you should take a read through here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo

That all looks a bit complex for a beginner to jump into, so I might suggest you stick with the method in the first thread I mentioned, which is kdenlive. That program is in the repositories so you just install it through synaptic package manager and then follow the steps outlined in the thread.

Are you aware that two of the links you mentioned are not english?

Yes, but living in Canada I understand french just well enough that it doesn't bother me. Google has a nice translation function, or altavista has one called babelfish that also works. They both should be able to take a URL as input and give you the page in english if that's what you need.
