Bug ID: 363526
Summary: CRITICAL - git master - fresh install on Ubuntu GNOME
16.04 via master ppa causes complete data loss
(verified on two PC's)
Product: kdenlive
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: jesse.dub...@gmail.com
I seriously don't know what happened, but this is critical. I did a fresh
install of Ubuntu GNOME 16.04, added the gnome3-team/gnome3 ppa and then the
kdenlive/kdenlive-master ppa, updated, installed Kdenlive, and ran kdenlive
from terminal. After it went through the set-up wizard, it went to the main
screen (mind you, it was using the Fusion style, not Breeze like normal). It
said that there was no Kdenlive folder, and if I wanted to create it. I said
yes, and, literally, the entire home directory was deleted. Everything went
back to stock. No kdenlive folder, no music, documents, downloads, or any
non-hidden folder. Even the hidden ones that weren't stock were erased. This
was verified on two fresh installations on two very different PC's
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fresh copy of Ubuntu GNOME 16.04
2. From terminal, run: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 && sudo
apt-add-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-master
3. run: sudo apt update
4. run: sudo apt dist-upgrade
5. Restart PC and login after restart
6. run: install kdenlive
7. execute Kdenlive (from terminal or menu)
8. Go through set-up wizard
9. When kdenlive asks if you want to create a kdenlive folder, select yes
Actual Results:
Immediately after, the entire home directory gets reverted back to stock, like
it was immediately after install. All music, pictures, documents, Dropbox
files... everything is deleted.
Expected Results:
No data gets deleted.
Bug discovered using Kdenlive 16.07.70 git master build from
ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-master. Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 x64, Gnome 3.18 desktop
environment.
