I experienced this problem on two quite different computers, an IBM
Thinkpad R51 and an MSI Wind U130.

It occurs when you install Ubuntu from the alternate CD without having
an Internet connection during the installation. I have not tested with
the live CD. If you have an Internet connection during install, Pitivi
starts fine and the problem in this bug is NOT present.

However, if you do an install with no connection, the problem occurs,
and if you later connect to the Internet and do an update and upgrade,
it is NOT fixed.

So something seems to be wrong with the packaging in the repositories
which is fixed by apt during install, but which is NOT fixed during a
normal update&upgrade. Hope this helps someone, I'm sorry I don't have
time to investigate further.

I *do* know, though, that this is a real problem - we have a situation
where we need to be able to mass install from USB with no access to the
Internet. For the time being, I've built in the "export" workaround
mentioned in comment #6 in a shell scripts and have the menu command
call that instead of calling Pitivi directly. It works, but it will be
nicer once this is fixed.
