… use the AppImage, which doesn’t have the problems of flatpak, is the build that development work gets tested with, and the one that gets built by CI on our servers for every change that is made.
It’s not like this forum isn’t full of precisely that advice.
I see you haven’t changed one bit Ron. Still giving snarky responses, lowkey blaming the user and being secretly condescending. Do you get a kick out of this?
The issue is flatpak is problematic, can we please focus on that? Also no one frequents KDE forums.
People are free to choose whatever they please, but they don’t get to angrily blame or abuse us for their own bad choices. Nothing secret or low key about that.
Alright guys, I have the issue too. I just found a fix on how to rollback flatpak programs. Here’s the fix:
You still need to have the flatpak version from Kdenlive installed on your PC.
Run this command in the terminal, it will go back to the 25.12.2 where everything was fine: sudo flatpak update --commit=d1ff56393e5f126661610b42be302d77513aadebe273e7f84c2b780eb0afd2f5 org.kde.kdenlive
I’m reporting an issue with the latest Kdenlive Flatpak update (commit fd5edea131fb61a3f85f4654323278712e9ef694b715eb076f992b793013cb7e) released on April 2nd.
After updating, the application stopped accepting any video files, consistently returning an ‘unable to open’ error. I am running Kubuntu 24.04 on a Dell Inspiron N5050 with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 (Sandy Bridge).
I performed a rollback to the previous version (commit d1ff56393e5f126661610b42be302d77513aadebe273e7f84c2b780eb0afd2f5), and the application works perfectly again. It seems that the explicit disabling of OpenCV for frei0r introduced in the latest update is causing compatibility issues with my hardware/codec stack.
I’ve masked the update for now to keep a stable environment.
Great to read that Kdenlive is your workhorse for whatever you are doing! Are you using it professionally?
If it is so important for you, you may want to participate in RC testing (26.04 RC will be released today) and help getting the kinks out of it before it is released officially.
Which is the reason why the clips show as “invalid”. Please note that the documentation is put together trying to cover many aspects. And in the case of distro packaging (e.g. snap or ppa) a missing library is a very valid reason why something doesn’t work. Of course, Flatpak and AppImage are more popular and is much wider use, but even you admitted that you used Mint’s own SW Manager to install Kdenlive.
I’m sorry but other than donating I can’t give my free time to kdenlive. And since kdenlive doesn’t have any donation options that don’t involve credit card…. no deal.
and mint’s SW Manager wasn’t the issue as pointed above(Kubuntu, Mint, Bazzite and Fedora all had the issue)
Thank you very much for considering a donation! Much appreciated! Apart from using a credit card, you can use a debit card, PayPal and even direct payment/deposit.
Hi @jberkus, and welcome to the forum and community!
Thanks for reporting this as a bug and linking to it here.
As you can see from the many discussions here and in other forums, we are very much aware of the botched 25.12.3 Flatpak. We also have already several bug reports for it.
Please do not report this as a bug in bugs.kde.org anymore or complain about it here.
