Hello Peterkirn,

Maybe you should try this:

Open terminal (command line...). Go to the .openshot directory (cd
.openshot) and be careful - the first "letter" is a dot. Then remove the
pid file (rm pid.lock). After that openshot should start working.

(It might be a good idea to put that int-conversion in check_pid() into
a try-except block in next version of openshot.)

Regards Timo

OpenShot won't launch - invalid literal for int error

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit. Installation went perfectly with the new deb installers, and I even opened up the app and edited and exported without incident. Restarted the system, again opened the app and edited... and then suddenly saw a crash (unfortunately didn't log anything)

Now any time I try to launch the app, I see the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/openshot", line 50, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/openshot/openshot.py", line 40, in main
  File "/usr/share/openshot/classes/lock.py", line 69, in check_pid
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

So I removed the packages and tried the build wizard, but I'm getting the same error. I see some bugs to which this appears similar, but it appears the specific conditions here are slightly different.
