Trying to import files. Nothing Happens.

When Openshot is running there should be a terminal running in the background - are there any errors listed in the terminal? If so, please paste them here.

Yes there was one but I didn't think it was important or related. Here is the terminal:

--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 0.9.22)
--------------------------------
/usr/local/share/openshot/main/windows/SimpleGladeApp.py:338: GtkWarning: gtk_toolbar_set_icon_size: assertion `icon_size != GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID' failed
  return gtk.glade.XML(self.glade_path, root, domain)
A new frmMain has been created
on_mnuImportFiles_activate called with self.mnuImportFiles

I am using Ubuntu 32Bit, AMD Althon X2 64 2.4GHZ and ATi HD 3200 on board graphics.

Hmmm, not much help there.

How did you install Openshot, was it from the build wizard or the .debs? You might have better luck when we release our new improved .deb packages from our ppa, which we are currently testing.

Are you running OpenShot under Gnome or Kde?

I downloaded it from here http://www.openshotvideo.com/2008/04/download.html last night. It was the .debs. I said stalled the dependencies first and then the program, so i don't what is wrong.

I am using Gnome...just the default Ubuntu 9.04 set up.

There were some problems with 32 bit systems with the .deb packages you
are using.

Two ways round:

1) use the install wizard for now to get 0.9.32
2) wait a few more days till we officially launch the ppa with the
improved .deb packages.

Hope this helps, Helen

Tried it but it would not load. Keeps closing every time i try to open. Then i re-downloaded the .deb and install back 0.9.22. Then tried to import some files once more, but now the program just closes. This is the terminal

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Please try and install OpenShot with our new PPA. Instructions are on the website (www.openshotvideo.com) on the download page. Good luck.

No Luck..same problem

Added /usr/share/openshot to system path

   OpenShot (version 0.9.42)

Oh yeah, one more thing. Be sure to uninstall the locally installed DEB version of OpenShot and it's dependencies before installing from the PPAs.

Ok I installed the new version on Ubuntu 9.10 beta and it now works perfectly fine. I am gonna try once it more on my 9.04 desktop later on, if it doesn't work then I will just install the new Ubuntu when it arrives.

Thanks Jonathan Thomas, that solved my question.
