[Bug 531043] Re: Crashes frequently for no apparent reason

 

Hello
severals things/tracks.
You should check your dependencies : http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=180
You should look at the faq here : https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/983
You should just look here too : http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=33
and a trick.
 For kill an application on linux, you must know is pid so you must do like this :
ps -x and when you see the pid of your application E.G. openshot number 11520, you do in a console :
 kill 11520
Sometimes it's hard to kill so you do too (after) : 
kill -9 11520
That's all
Thanks

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
Pretty much all the time, just clicking on anything at any time, will cause the program to crash. The worst time was when I right clicked to get a menu on an item in the list of media files, and then the program crashed, causing a total of freeze of everything in the GUI. I tried a console to use sudo killall openshot, but it did not work. I had to reset the X server completely before I could do anything at all. 
I am using Ubuntu 9.04, 64-bit, with 4 GB RAM, > 1 TB HDD, trying to create short videos using AVCHD video files mostly from my Panasonic Lumix TZ7 digital camera.
OpenShot 1.0.0.1, installed from DEB.
I save often and regularly so that I do not lose any work, but it is a bit much to have to click Save every single time before doing anything in case it crashes.
