KDENLIVE JUCE crash

Help
1

I’m trying to start a new project and just opened up kdenlive for the first time in a few months, and the app will start up, show the list of previously used templates and former projects, but if I click any option to enter a project of any type, the app will crash, and when running kdenlive in the terminal I get these messages

oversampling: 8x
JUCE Assertion failure in juce_Singleton.h:50

JUCE Assertion failure in juce_Singleton.h:50
JUCE Assertion failure in juce_Singleton.h:50
Segmentation fault         (core dumped) kdenlive

Any clue how I could fix this?

This looks strange. Are you on Linux? If yes, please try with the AppImage from the download page.

Can you give us a bit more to work on? Like OS, version of Kdenlive, how you installed it, …

It seems you run the JUCE framework in the background which produces this crash. Please close JUCE and start Kdenlive again.

Sorry for not getting back sooner, but yes I am on Linux, I was using the package in the Fedora Repos, I installed the flatpak version and everything is working now.

Hi, I’m on Void Linux, and I encountered the exact same error messages and segfault. It turned out that when I had the DISTRHO-Ports plugins installed (not in void repos, I installed it myself), this crash would occur, but when I uninstalled it, Kdenlive no longer crashed. I did not have the plugins or any JUCE instance running in the background, but somehow simply by virtue of having the plugin on my computer, Kdenlive would call into it (???) and crash.

For me the solution to having both DISTRHO-Ports and Kdenlive on my computer at the same time turned out to be to install the fftw-devel package, so I guess you can try installing the equivalent of that on Fedora if you want to run the native version. Still very strange behaviour though

Wow weird, thanks for finding an actual solution though
