--- Comment #7 from [email protected] --- (Sorry for some typos, missing words and one Devuan <-> Debian mix once above. Result of a whole night of unplanned fault isolation.) Anyway: I can also confirm now that $ kdenlive-22.12.3-x86_64.AppImage starts without crashing, AFTER (in a different konsole window) $ pulseaudio --daemonize=false --exit-idle-time=-1 --disallow-exit=true That seems to be necessary even after I installed some (actually unwanted) pulseaudio packages, and even though I restarted the system before. This is true after I've had set the Audiotreiber = Automatisch in the kdenlive settings dialog. Suggestion: In the settings dialog, the warning: "Achtung: Änderungen an Treibern und Geräten können Kdenlive instabil machen. Verändern Sie diese Einstellungen nur, wenn Sie wissen, was Sie tun." might be enhanced by the sentence: "Bitte machen Sie vor dem Ausprobieren neuer Einstellungen eine Sicherheitskopie der alten Konfigurationsdatei ./config/kdenliverc oder ./config/kdenlive-appimagerc" (Because in my case, I would hardly ever have found any way back if I hadn't had a working old config file at hand: NO config file does NOT let kdenlive start and generate an new one, as long as pulseaudio is not running.) The other error message probably newly introduced in 21.12.3 ... 22.xx does still appear (but I don't mind so far, because that doesn't cause a crash): Unable to create KIO worker. Can not find a KIO worker for protocol 'tags'. [OK] So as assumed before, there's a really unhealthy dependency onto pulseaudio - resulting in an immediate crash, after a misleading error message - spawning multiple users asking for help as turned up by google, some at least months without resolution, at least one mentioning they couldn't continue their video project because of this... Well, /certain/ Greeks, and their gifts... :-) :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
