Kdenlive and Ubuntu 8.04

Hello. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04. And first thing I noticed was that Kdenlive was no longer there. I tried to install it from Synapsis, and the installation seems to go fine, but the program does not appear on the programs menu, and if I try to start the program from the terminal, the computer logs me off. I'we tried installing/reinstalling, installing the package on this site and many other things. Any suggestions??? I have been able to start the program from the terminal a couple of times (out of the 100's I'we tried), and I really need it to work because I'm working on a project there.

I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 and I have kdenlive installed from the repositories... the only downfall is that this is a SVN version and it's highly unstable...

the SVN version for me is MUCH more stable than the previous version...

Kind regards

I've got the same problem with Kdenlive.
When I open this beautiful program the computer is login of.
I work with Kubuntu 8.04 64bit version and I hope that someone can tell what the problem is.
Just like Ivarma I was working on a project before I update from gutsy to hardy.

hello there,

First sorry for my english, i'm french.

Then, maybe I have a solution for this problem. It's working for me, I disable the visual effects in >preferences>apparence.

But I've got another problem, my sound is jerky.

My soundcard is a EMU 0404.

Thanks

Re: Kdenlive and Ubuntu 8.04

Hi there - I am new to this forum today.

I run Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS on an AMD64 3200+ with 1gig RAM on a KT8 Neo (MSI 6702 v1) with 2 x 150gb SATA disks.

I am using kdenlive 0.6.0-svn (Using KDE 3.5.9) which was downloaded from the Ubuntu repository via Synaptic Package Manager.

I have been trying to complete a not-for-profit video against a deadline - not easy with kdenlive, and in the process discovered that when I open a recent project there is always some network activity (the back of the box faces me, so I can see the link and active lights). What I have discovered is that unplugging the network cable as I open a recent project improves the likelihood that the project will open without a crash. I can then reconnect and carry on working till the next problem arises.

I don't understand why that should make a difference, but it does allow me to complete projects by deadlines.

I also discovered that pulling in images for 'montage' slides that had not been previously sized to the final frame size of the video is a sure way to end up with a project that cannot be re-opened.

I read in this forum that adding an additional audio track to the number is use provides stability, and this is also part of my routine now.

I pass these on to other users in case it helps them too.

One day, kdenlive will be the off-line editor of choice since it offers so much promise!

Keep up the good work.

Re: Kdenlive and Ubuntu 8.04

Hi I've just started playing with KDENLIVE using UBuntu 8.04 and I have an issuse when with screen blanking when various
parameters of transistions are chagned. In particular if I make a PIP transition between two tracks every time I change the size, position, or transparancey, the entire screen blanks for a second or 2 and then reapears. I get the same blanking effect when I open a saved project. Apart from this annoying screen blanking the program seems to be working fine.

Anybody else seen this problem or know how to fix it?

I have an ATI X1300 Pro graphics card using fglrx, without compiz.
