Ok it's not a bug but a configuration issue.. So this is probably not the best forum to ask...
So how about a little help, then. How do you begin to troubleshoot this? how do you get to the Openshot preferences screen - if it never launches. I'm using Debian Squeeze (32bit) -- the _wizard has no options for anything except ubuntu. I have installed the dependency packages every way I could think of.. including apt-get, aptitude, configuring and make & install each package by themselves. I cant get passed this error. " No formats or codecs were found. Please check the OpenShot preferences and configure the 'melt' command name. Segmentation fault. " I understand that it's not an openshot issue but i would have no need to work out this challenge otherwise. I just want to edit video with your award winning software. I have been searching for days, read every readme, visited every forum and googled the crap out of this. I know I'm not the only one who can't find a way to resolve this very frustrating situation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Developers, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538651 Title: Unclear instructions given to user Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Invalid Bug description: Kubuntu 9.10 64-bit, installed Openshot 1.1.0 from the PPA Trying to start gives me this: rhk@rubert:~/Datat/photos$ openshot -------------------------------- OpenShot (version 1.1.0) -------------------------------- A new frmMain has been created No formats or codecs were found.

(Both the site-packages and /usr/share/openshot folders were checked) Use the following command to install OpenShot: $ sudo python setup.py install Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/openshot/classes/thumbnail.py", line 170, in run mlt.Factory().init() NameError: global name 'mlt' is not defined rhk@rubert:/usr/local$ Fine. So I run sudo python setup.py install just to get: python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory rhk@rubert:/usr/local$ So I guess the bug here is that the command it recommends me to run does nothing - I guess it should point to a dir to actually do something useful.. (To figure out why Openshot's not starting, I'll go to https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/482985 :) Thanks! _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
