Install Hybrid on Ubuntu 18.04 VNC

[masterdevoe]

Hi there,
So I am a newbie to Linux, and I want to install Hybrid on Ubuntu VNC. Ubuntu version 18.04

What I tried:
I tried opening the Hybrid binary using the terminal, but it says "X server disconnected".

I know I need certain dependencies for this, I have installed them all, but it's still giving me this error: "X server disconnected".

If this doesn't work, do you have any way to run it using wine?

Try whether it helps starting Hybrid using 'Hybrid -platform vnc' iirc this might help. (never tried it)

It gives me this error..

no file '/root/Desktop/misc.ini' found,..
  no file '/root/.hybrid/misc.ini' found,..
No misc.ini file used,..
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "vnc"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted (core dumped)

Okay, what happens if you call Hybrid with:

Hybrid -platform xcb

?

It remains stalled on Terminal forever

Then I have no idea, since I have never tried to connect to Ubuntu using vnc.
Might be an issue with the vnc client, see: https://forum.selur.net/showthread.php?tid=926 & https://forum.selur.net/showthread.php?tid=986

I found the solution! it was the xfce based desktop, I changed it to Cinnamon using google remote desktop.

But now I am unable to configure AviSynth and VapourSynth on my Linux server.

In the Filter tab>Support: shows "no Xsynth"

Is there anything I am missing?

But now I am unable to configure AviSynth and VapourSynth on my Linux server.

Hybrid itself doesn't install Vapoursynth (or Avisynth).
I wrote scripts to compile and install Vapoursynth and the plugins Hybrid supports nativly.
see: https://github.com/Selur/hybrid-vapoursynth-addon
I also shared all the Vapoursynth scripts Hybrid uses https://github.com/Selur/VapoursynthScriptsInHybrid.

There is no installer that does this since there is no once who has the time and motivation to set it up and main it.
djcj did offer a installer and repository a while back, but didn't have the time to adjust and maintain.

Hybrid can use Avisynth in case it's installed through wine, but I haven't tried for ages for Avisynth to work under wine and last time I did it was a real pain to setup.
Hybrid does not support the new native Avisynth+ for Linux (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1902843), since nearly no Avisnth filters work on Linux.

I installed vapoursynth and it's plugins from your git, when I run Hybrid, on the terminal, it is looking for plugins, failing and not recognising vapoursynth, do you have any idea how to direct it towards the directory where all the plugins are?

PS: vspipe --version works perfectly fine
Also all my Hybrid files are in the Downloads folder as I downloaded from your website, this folder already contains vsscripts

Thanks in advance for being so patient

[Selur]

If you installed Vapoursynth through the build-vapoursynth.sh, added the exports (like described in the README.md; make sure to adfjust the paths based on the python version used on your system), restarted your system and build the plugins using the build-plugins.sh Hybrid should automatically detect Vapoursynth.

If Hybrid still does not show the Vapoursynth, what does it output to the terminal when started from a terminal?
