Unable to launch kdenlive, openshot, ...

C

cmoerz

Does anybody have ideas or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

After upgrading to 13.4-p7 (and doing a pkg upgrade -f to reinstall all ports), it appears I can no longer start any non-linear video editor. I'm getting a weird error that alludes some issues with the X server, but all other applications start just fine:

Code: 
user@host:~% kdenlive
<unknown>: Fatal IO error 0 (No error: 0) on X server :0.
user@host:~%

Here's the excerpt from pciconf -lv:
Code: 
    vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]'
    device     = 'Cezanne [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

I'm running with an AMD embedded graphics controller - maybe that's got to do with it? On my Intel systems and the same release/patch level, it works fine.
 
Fair point. I avoided that major upgrade for the time being, being afraid I might break more stuff in the process.
Then again, I should finally read up on those ZFS boot environments so I could just roll back if that does happen...

Hello there fellow FreeBSD users!

I am having a similar problem with QT based video editors like those. KDEnlive, Openshot and Shotcut just don't work on my 14.2-RELEASE based PC.
When I start them, they run but showing just the startup screen with the Desktop Environment (Mate 1.28.1) window frame empty, transparent window,
then they freeze for good.

If I start them as root, or inside another user account they just run fine, so I think it must be some .config file, a variable or another thing inside my home directory, that I could not find out yet.

I thought it could be Compton, that I use as compositor, but running the DE with composition on or off makes no difference.
I checked qt5ct configs, but it also yields no difference.

For the time being I am using Pitivi for video editing.

Any help to solve this simple issue is appreciated. Thanks.
