Anyone else giving a DAM? After setting up a LAMP stack, I tried ResourceSpace and it worked well, until I looked at the stored media folder structure.. a total mess! folders and more folders, inside other folders, etc. The front end sure looks simple but the backend was creating a mess I could not comprehend. I was going to try Razuna, but the key component (Java 1.6) is not available for Ubuntu no more and substitutes aren't allowed, so this is a no go. Finally I saw something called footage2go and I really liked it, until I found out is a remotely hosted app only, which means no internet = can't search my assets. Suggestions for a solution similar to Final Cut Server or any of the above?
Why isn't Java 1.6 available for Ubuntu? That's what I'm using. Did you even try to install it?
>>243 I did tried to install by enabling partner repositories and updating them. once I did the apt-get install I received a message about java not being available. http://wiki.razuna.com/display/ecp/Pre+Installation+Tasks
Can you not just copy the required JRE to /etc/java/ then use update-alternatives to set which JRE should be used when its required? Not used ubuntu for a long time, but this method works fine under debian. I guess its either the same or there is an ubuntu specific tool to select preferred applications. Repos are great but sometimes you've gotta do things by hand.
