OpenShot Video Editor

Stable version for Karmic?

Asked by David Trask

Hi. I'm the image maintainer for the Open1to1.org project which provides a ready-made image based on Ubuntu Netbook Remix for schools deploying netbooks/laptops in 1 to1 situations (one laptop per student) as well as carts and labs. I'm working quickly to get the Karmic version (9.10) out the door as it addresses a major wireless issue for the Asus 1005HA (which there are 1000's deployed in schools in the Northeastern US). Anyway...I recently installed OpenShot on the new image and found that it froze within 30 seconds almost every time. I've tried it via the new edge PPA as well as the deb files. Does anyone know of a version that's stable with karmic? OR...how soon can we expect a fix? I'm under a tight deadline...like November 11th or so. I'd love to get this on the new image and into the hands of 1000's of students in grades K-12. Let me know...thx

The first thing to check is if you have the package libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio installed. A number of other people have reported freezing and installing this package has fixed it. The PPA has been updated so this is a now a dependancy, but I don't know if that would come through as an update or not.

Also, the experimental PPA (listed on the website) adds this new dependency
(i.e. libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio), and should prevent the freezing. Please
let us know if this fixes the problem.

Thanks,
-Jonathan

It appears to work now. I'm going to withhold total judgement until I've played with it more, but preliminary results show that it fixes the issue.
