Hi,
today I've installed a fresh version of ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop PC. After installing graphic drivers I started Kdenlive.
After I've added some pictures, I played the arrangement, but after a few seconds it stops and the window was greying. Only thing to do then was killing the process.
I changed some settings, like switched to ALSA but nothing worked.
I have the same issue with videos, that I played. Kdenlive is not even working on my notebook. Any suggests?

Kind regards

Install the package libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio. Ubuntu, for some strange reason, does not ship the PulseAudio backend to the SDL framework even though it runs PulseAudio, which basically takes over the sound card.
