Openshot does not run on ubuntu 9.10 64Bit

Asked by Thomas B

I have installed it per PPA like you decribed it for Ubuntu 9.10.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-docs

When i start by typing "openshot" it gives me this error output:
