Bug ID: 382934
Summary: Unable to access system drives / folders & error on
rendering location, on Ubuntu system
Product: kdenlive
Version: 17.04.3
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I'm running a recently installed Kdenlive Version 17.04.3, on a PC running
Ubuntu Mate 17.04 (incorporating Mate Desktop Environment 1.18.0).
Kdenlive was installed yesterday via the official ppa: (sudo add-apt-repository
ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable)
I am able to add clips to a yet-unnamed project through the Project > Add Clip
menu choice. In implementing this command, I am able to view all the folders on
my Ubuntu system, and successfully import a clip for editing.
However, other commands that also require system drive and folder access fail
to work. For example, the File > Open command opens a white box -- but does not
show all the individual folders on my system (although it shows some of the
drives at left). If I try to click on an individual drive, it just hangs - but
does not display the folders in the drive. I am, however, still able to close
the box through the "Cancel" button at the bottom.
The File > Save As command works even less well. In this case, it just opens up
a plain white box -- but there are no drives or system folders of any kind
displayed. No "Cancel" button either. I am, however, able to close the box by
executing the "x" icon on top of the box.
Interestingly, through testing, I realized that I am actually able to render a
project -- but there are problems here, too.
Selecting the "Render" button on the main GUI opens the "Rendering - Kdenlive"
input box. However, I am unable to type anything in the "Output file" input
area. And clicking on the "Select Output Destination" box to the right opens up
another plain white box (that shows some of my system drives at left -- but not
the individual folders, as I already experienced above).
However, as an experiment, I tried just hitting "Render to File" to see if it
would force a rendering. It did -- it created an "Untitled.mp4" file -- but in
a new folder called "DoRcruments" off /home/user
(file:///home/user/DoRcruments)!
I'm wondering if the problem is related to some missing library or other
component that ensures proper network resource access between Kdenlive and
Ubuntu?
Many thanks. I look forward to your suggestions.
