After installing nad running kdenlive the aplication crashes on launch
I can not even report a bug. Even though i installed debug symbols. I've also tried adding a few other libraries to help it work. Kubuntu 14.04 installed from repositories This is what i get if i run it from terminal:
and this is how it "works" in KDE/GUI: http://youtu.be/dBPLninzW08

Instead of selecting "Report a Bug" can you select the "Developer Information" tab and post the information it provides here please?

Please try the Developer Information tab - it produces quite different output. This tab can be accessed when the crash assistant initially opens.

i changed the topic title. i don't remember puting KDE in the tile :-O
anyway the crash line is the same no matter when the tab is opened.
exactly why it is so puzzling to me - the error doesn't mean anything. if i found some error i would search for solutions online. btu since i do not have any good informaiton i do not even know where or what to search for. |

This is quite odd - a backtrace should be significantly longer than that. Could you please provide a screenshot of the developer information tab open in the crash assistant please? Also, please ensure that "gdb" is installed on your system.

You may have an iBus problem. See this post for info. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1322888 Try running Kdenlive from the command prompt. You can also try specifying a bogus project filename on the command line to see if that changes anything. |

this is the crash report screenshot. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2uTW3 ... sp=sharing
This time something actually started, really fast before it crashed. |

Okay, that is an extremely odd backtrace.
Can you try starting Kdenlive under GDB and generating a backtrace there? You can get some tips on doing that here: https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace

Hi,
I see from the above that you are using Kdenlive 0.9.7 which I assume you got from Sunab's ppa. This version is really unstable at the moment due to recent changes. I also got the same crash reports. I disabled sunab's repo. (for the time being), deleted all of Kdenlive, updated and re-installed version 9.6. and that works ok. A new stable version 9.8 is out now but not in the repos yet. You can download the source code if you like. Hope that helps, cheers |

i removed the PPA and all traces of old kdenlive. i then installed original one again 0.9.6-5 or something. it didn't recognise the camera or any capture device hiowever it did start up. now i need to see if i can actually make a recording and save it. as i remember before (12.04) that part didn't work so well and i had to use a newer verison at the time.
i am markign this as solved on this issue as applicaiton doesn't crash now. if i run into another one i will post again. |

I am using Xubuntu 12.04. PPA has been fine until now. Tonight it bumped me from 0.9.6 to 0.9.8. Now any time I try to Add Clip the program freezes until it crashes. Uninstalling, unchecking the PPA then reloading regresses me back to 0.8.2.1. Even after unloading and reloading all the dependencies for the older version, it is still broken and I have no path to get back to 0.9.6.
Not happy. |

you could try to install newer version from source.
the thing is i added this PPA only because initial install crashed on launch. it seems it's a wrong PPA to be using at the moment. othewise stay on 12.04 if you can - 14.04 did not do so well (on the two maschines i installed it). all seem to be kernel bugs i encountered. |

Preaching to the choir re 14.04. I never migrate to the latest OS release for at least six months. Someone else can be the rolling release QC. I have better things to do. Had I known this would be such a problem I'd have waited on Kdenlive 0.9.8 too.
I found a temporary fix to my particular crash is to turn off file preview in the Add Clip popup. It's trying to build thubmnail previews with something other than the VLC I have defined in settings. And now coincidentally I have only four codecs I can render with as opposed to the 10-12 I had before. Nothing I do brings them back. |
