example
Not sure if this is related, but when I start Kdenlive (every time), a window opens saying "Cannot find your MLT Profiles. Please give a path." with an input field that's filled with this by default: "/usr/local/share/mlt/profiles/". Changing it to "/usr/share/mlt/profiles/" seems to work, then proceeds to the start-up wizard, where the OP issue starts. Created attachment 97015 [details]
example of MLT window that pops up before the start-up wizard
I installed a fresh copy of kubuntu 15.10 x64 with Plasma 5.5.3 (via kubuntu's backports PPA) and build & installed MLT git master, then kdenilve git master. Same issue pops up. running from console produces this: jesse@Cerberus:~$ kdenlive begin true end begin true end begin true end Trying to convert empty KLocalizedString to QString. "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 1: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 3: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 5: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 7: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 9: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 11: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 12: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 13: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 14: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 15: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 17: " Invalid entry (missing '=') "KConfigIni: In file /home/jesse/Downloads/mlt/profiles/Makefile, line 18: " Invalid entry (missing '=') libDeckLinkAPI.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The DeckLink drivers are not installed. Looks like Kdenlive somehow tries an incorrect location for MLT. Can you try starting in a terminal with following syntax: kdenlive --mlt-path /usr/share/mlt/profiles/ Thanks for the suggestion JB. but the problem persists: the "Next" button is still greyed out/un-clickable. When running "./configure" in the mlt directory, this showed up in Konsole: Jesse@Cerberus:~/Downloads/mlt$ ./configure Configuring framework: Configuring modules: Configuring modules/avformat: Package libavformat was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Sorry, I know this issue probably isn't a bug with Kdenlive per se, but if I can get this method set up for Ubuntu, then I can keep testing the latest git version and better offer user support & feedback. Had to switch back to Kubuntu for more reliable software purposes. I've been documenting what I'm doing to build and install from git on Kubuntu. If I can make it fool-proof, and can contribute the steps as documentation for others. :) UPDATE: In the "./configure" process of MLT, I realized I needed more Ubuntu dev packages (e.g. libavformat-dev), and that seems to remove some of the errors. I'm attempting to install all of the apparent needed packages, then I'll see if that'll resolve the issue. Yes! Installing the -dev packages for the missing MLT dependencies during build and install fixed the issue; the "Next" button works! there's still a few features (Qimage, pixbuf, and the titler widget) I need to work out, but I think I'll soon have a complete, easy to use (truly) step-by-step process to building kdenlive git master from source in Kubuntu. Marking this bug as fixed. |
