Help

Hi, could please help me? I’m writing from Italy, sorry for my not so good english! I’m in a Linux production machine with LMDE5, kernel 5.10.0-26-amd64. I’m trying to run the newest AppImage version 23.08.3 (the last I’m using is 23.08.1) from terminal and this is the error message:

same error with version 23.08.2, and I can’t use the last versions.

Note: I’ve tested on LMDE6 and it works. Mint has certainly added or updated the libraries used by Kdenlive 23.08.2
Is it possible to resolve the issue in LMDE5?
Thanks!

Same issue, it works ok in the flatpak version – but I prefer to run appimage.

I really don’t want to try to upgrade my linux version. The one I run has been so stable.

Good luck

Hey there, I got the same issue here.

Though I found a fix by applying this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test # Ignore if not ubuntu

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9

sudo apt-get upgrade libstdc++6

After it finishes installing, Run this:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And not it should work!

UPDATE

if you get an error when using sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9

try this fix:

-open sources list with gedit with root permission, or just use this command sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

-at the very bottom, paste these two lines

deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main
deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe

-save, close gedit, then run this command sudo apt update && sudo apt install g++-4.9

and now you can continue the next 2 steps after that

ANOTHER UPDATE

you will probably encounter a problem again where it tells you that the packages are broken, the fix is very easy:

  • -open sources list with gedit with root permission, or just use this command sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

  • comment these two lines that we just added
    it should look like this:

#deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main
#deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe

-save, and run this command
sudo apt --fix-broken install

now it should be fixed, have a nice day!
