Bug ID: 416139
Summary: Crash on startup running Kdenlive without pulseaudio
Product: kdenlive
Version: 19.12.1
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: jer...@ecere.com
Target Milestone: ---
Starting Kdenlive 19.12 on a Linux system without pulseaudio, an error comes up
saying "Could not create the video preview window, something wrong with your
install or driver settings".
When clicking OK, kdenlive segfaults.
In earlier version 18.12, selecting ALSA from the dialog will also crash.
But after manually editing kdenliverc to the proper setting (based on older
16.x version which did not have that problem), Kdenlive will work fine with
ALSA / withotu PulseAudio.
This is a regression which is a major issue for people who do not wish to
install PulseAudio (and I am not alone in that category).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up a system without pulseaudio or temporarily uninstall it.
2. Start KDEnlive.
3. Click OK to the error message. Boom.
OBSERVED RESULT
Kdenlive crashes.
Errors on the console include:
SUSPICIOUS: we weren't expecting a produce when parsing the timeline.
[consumer sdl2_audio] Failed to initialize sdl; could not setup connection to
PulseAudio
Segmentation Fault
EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect Kdenlive to work fine without PulseAudio using ALSA directly
(through SDL2) as it used to.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kdenlive for Linux: kdenlive-19.12.1-x86_64.appimage
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
18.12 does not crash like this once kdenliverc is configured properly, but does
crash when using the Setup dialog to try to configure HW ALSA device.
