This is an interesting report, and, unfortunately, there may not be a
fix done in 20.04 for this as that repository is frozen in time.
Additionally, pitivi is sync'd unchanged from Debian, hence no "ubuntu"
in the version number, which means this is an upstream bug.

Moreover, this package is an outdated version. The latest release
available in later versions of pitivi are in later releases of Ubuntu,
i.e. 21.10 which released a couple weeks ago as of this writing. There
have been many upstream bug fixes since the version of pitivi in 20.04
was released that are available in 21.10. It *might* solve your problem,
but I cannot guarantee that.

Also, Wayland is experimental in Ubuntu 20.04 and is unsupported. The
earliest version of Ubuntu with supported Wayland by default is 21.04,
so consider upgrading.

Either way, please test with Ubuntu 21.10 (impish) and report back.
Unfortunately, I have to mark this as "Won't Fix" for 20.04.

  back to login screen

Bug description:
  I was using Pitivi without any issues and created a video.

  Now, opening Pitivi immediately crashes my user session and takes me
  back to the login screen.

  Ubuntu 20.04 with Pitivi from the archive -- hopefully all that is in
  the attached logs, but let me know if anything else would help.
