I've got the same problem with Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy). I found out that I can start it with "pitivi --sync" and then see the programm window. But when I try to add an avi/mpeg to it, it gives me an error: "The following files weren't discovered properly: unknown stream type", but I can add mp3 files.
Maybe that's normal, but it's still strange that it didn't start with "$ pitivi". $ pitivi --sync X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168 Major opcode: 148 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168 Major opcode: 148 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device -- pitivi failed to start https://launchpad.net/bugs/58626 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
