Is it just me or did kdenlive broke for you too? I’m on an Archlinux based system and just updated the system. A few hours before update kdenlive worked. Update was not small, so its hard to tell the exact cause. I’ve tried to downgrade kdenlive, but same issue. I use Linux for a very long time now, but still get lost with errors like these.^^ Any idea what I should do? Does it work for you?
I get this on start (I reset the configuration files too):
$ kdenlive --version
kdenlive 24.08.1
$ kdenlive

Also broken for me. I tried downgrading mlt a couple of times. That didn’t work. Might need some kind of rebuild from the arch side.
Edit: I saw in the mlt output that it couldn’t find certain libraries, so I installed those and no longer have those lines, but it is still crashing. Getting a bit closer to figuring it out though. A few less issues in the output.
Ok so then its not something I broke. That’s good to know. I actually have those packages tried to install too and it did not help (and then removed them). Forgot to mention that in the post. Usually a core dump is a serious problem. Looks like we have to sit and wait and can’t do too much.
Bug has been officially filed and confirmed in the arch repos. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/kdenlive/-/issues/8
Guess they will figure it out and fix it in the next update.
Edit: The issue was tracked to a problem with the opencv package and the new version is in the testing repos. I have activated the testing repos and grabbed that package and it does in fact fix the issue.
I get the same errors about descriptor, but no mention of mlt or missing libraries.
I tried the flatpak version and that seems to be working.mlt was also updated, have you tried downgrading that?
Some stuff in your output relates to mlt.
No, I did not. After my post I got an mlt update too, which didn’t help with Kdenlive, but Inkscape stopped working… Right after that Inkscape got an update and now it works again. It all looks like an known issue they are aware off? Couldn’t find anything related in KDE and Archlinux forums a few hours back.
Last time Kdenlive broke, I used Flatpak until that was resolved. Maybe I’ll wait a bit again. But will have in mind to downgrade mlt, but I’m hesitant to downgrade libraries other tools may depend on.
