Kdenlive: Crash on Startup, UPDATED ARTICLE offering a solution! (English|German)

What? No open bugs? Seriously?

It’s been some time now that there is a problem with Kdenlive on Linux systems: It simply crashes immediately. After some research I found out that the latest nightly build runs on my computer. It’s an appimage, not the real thing, but at least it runs!

That’s the link to the appimage:

UPDATE as of 2022-12-19

Simply by coincidence I’ve found out that I can start Kdenlive as root on the commandline which looks like this:

┌──(root㉿t15)-[/etc]
└─# kdenlive
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to ‘/tmp/runtime-root’
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to ‘/tmp/runtime-root’
Could not detect package type, probably default? App dir is “/usr/bin”
= = = =
GOT Deleted file: “/root/.config/kdenliverc”
= = = =
GOT Deleted file: “/usr/share/kxmlgui5/kdenlive/kdenliveui.rc”
QPaintDevice: Cannot destroy paint device that is being painted

┌──(root㉿t15)-[/etc] └─#

From here on we can possibly find a solution to the problem.

Use the command “kdenlive &" to keep your terminal window.

WAS? Keine Bugs? Im Ernst jetzt?

Seit einiger Zeit crasht Kdenlive auf Linux-Systemen direkt beim Aufruf. Das letzte nightly build dagegen läuft erstmal und läßt sich perfekt benutzen.

Hier der Link auf das Appimage:

Durch puren Zufall habe ich herausgefunden, daß ich Kdenlive als root auf der Kommandozeile starten kann, was dann so aussieht:

┌──(root㉿t15)-[/etc] └─#

Das ist möglicherweise ein Schritt hin zur Lösung des Problems.

Verwende “kdenlive &", um Dein Terminalfenster zu behalten.
