Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdenlive

I installed kdenlive from the Hardy repositories and launched it. It presented me with a startup dialog. I set up the project type (HDV 1080i/50i) and clicked OK. The main window appeared with all its controls and then promptly disappeared, providing me a notification about a crash. Since then, starting kdenlive will do the same except I don't get a startup dialog anymore, just the main window appearing and disappearing immediately.

Sorry, this is on Ubuntu 8.04 running GNOME with all updates released as of today, on an Intel-based notebook (i945 chipset/graphics).

Removing .kde/share/config/kdenliverc and choosing any other project format also produces the same crash.

Same problem here in Hardy (also, upon installing, it does not insert anything into the menus). One workaround I found in some forums is to open it by running the following command: 'kdenlive -nograb' (worked for me). Here is my terminal output from simply running the 'kdenlive' command:

my solution is this :

solution:

1 : sudo apt-get install libxcb-composite0 libxcb1-dbg libxcb1-dev
2: delete configuration files (~/.kde/share/config/kdenliverc)
3: try to disalble compiz (gnome user run this : metacity --replace ; kde user kwin --replace)

I don't have desktop effects enabled but I still have kdenlive crashing. It worked once after I didn't try for a few weeks but all subsequent tries involved it crashing. I tried all the different video modes and it stopped crashing on the ones which couldn't access the video preview and though up errors

Here are the results from the terminal:
