> Public bug reported:

> Openshot often refuses to start from the launcher, i.e. the launcher

>
> The following fix from Kirk Schnable temporarily fixes the problem:
>
> OpenShot version 1.4.0, Python 2.7.3, on Xubuntu 12.04, all updates are
> installed. ... No LADSPA plugins were found! Check your LADSPA_PATH
> environment variable. [Where the hell is it, and what do you check it
> for?]
>
> I uninstalled and reinstalled OpenShot and Python's MLT libraries...
> sudo apt-get remove openshot python-mlt3 --purge
> sudo apt-get install python-mlt3 ## It is unclear whether this command
> should refer to python-mlt or python-mlt3
> sudo apt-get install openshot
> Then I got rid of the old profile settings for the user.
> mv ~/.openshot/ ~/.openshot-old/
