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

  • 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.
