ubuntu animations aren't saved

[potter2]

The MAC 10.9 saves the animation in .uvcdat but the Ubuntu version does not save an amimation

[potter2]

This DOES work in CENTOS.. so it is just UBUNTU.

VCS or dv3d animations

[aashish24]

cal it vcs 2D or vcs 3D -:).

[potter2]

I thought you were only releasing the animation in DV3D. That is the only one I tried. Is the 2D installed?
In any case in the .uvcdat directory, Tom creates a directory and puts the animation in it (the directories are called animation-0 animation-1 etc. )
The Ubuntu version makes a directory but it is empty. Mac and CENTOS work fine.

just tested with @potter2 confirmed this on ubunutu. Also on CentOS (FULL) build I get:
File "/usr/local/uvcdat/2.0.0/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "/usr/local/uvcdat/2.0.0/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 763, in run
self.__target(_self.__args, *_self.__kwargs)
File "/usr/local/uvcdat/2.0.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/DV3D/DV3DPlot.py", line 40, in saveAnimation
writer = vtk.vtkFFMPEGWriter()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'vtkFFMPEGWriter'

@aashish24 @dlonie looks like the FULL build does not include ffmpeg

[aashish24]

@doutriaux1 I believe you might be right. Also, on ubuntu, I believe there is an issue with python threading.. could you be seeing that?

@dlonie can you push a fix for full build asap?

[potter2]

When is this going to happen? I know there will be interest in the Ubuntu build

[alliepiper]

@potter2 I should have something tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

[aashish24]

@potter2 what @dlonie is going to fix is the ffmpeg not found in full build. The other reason for animation not working on ubutntu needs to be investigated by @ThomasMaxwell.

[potter2]

Actually Tom says the full build may be the problem in Ubuntu.

Are the 2.0 binaries being distributed for the Linux platforms full builds?
