KDenLive free(): invalid pointer error at startup

[Dale Powell]

Farid.

Thanks for the speedy response here.

Yes the appImage works, I actually found and tried that a just a few minutes after posting. Still this is no reason why the versions on both your ppa and Canonical's ones should have stopped working in the last few weeks!

The linked thread goes through all the steps I have tried, I didn't feel it needed repeating here... But I didn't mention versions.

Canonical: 4:17.12.3-0ubuntu1
PPA: 4:18.04.1+git201805021218~ubuntu18.04.1

I guess for now I'll just have to remember to open it via the appImage and manually check if newer versions are out.....

Dale.

Hi Dale

2018-07-12 12:29 GMT-03:00 Dale Powell <dj_kaza at hotmail.com<mailto:dj_kaza at hotmail.com>>:
Hello all.

I reported almost a week ago that KDenLive has stopped working on my Ubuntu Studio 18.04 laptop on the forums to an astounding silence. This is a rather serious issue meaning the program can not even be started!! Can somebody please assist me on getting this fixed before I just give up with this software entirely despite it seeming to be the best video editor on Linux?


Sorry for the delay, currently all our efforts are on the refactoring branch. You must state the version of Kdenlive and MLT so we can try to debug better. A wild guess though, I'd say you are using a PPA or a version from the repos, eitherway those are rather obsolete AFAIK. Have you tried using the AppImage and see if that works? You can get it from here: https://kdenlive.org/en/download/

Cheers
