Openshot fails to initialize. . . Appimage works

General system Applications
1

I installed from AUR openshot (latest version). I also installed the appimage file also. The appimage file works like a charm but the AUR version (same version of the software) but need to be compiled along with a ton of other dependencies which took about 45 minutes all completed it’s installation successfully without any errors. Only problem is that when I go to execute the program it tries to initialize then quits. AppImage still works despite this. Any idea’s. I tried running it from Konsole to see if anything appears there. Nothing . . . . no messages. Both versions 3.4.0

Any idea’s?

Not sure if this will help but maybe try the options under the launch title here

After having a bit of a look I would stick with the appimage as it seems to maintained by the devs, the other thing I saw mentioned a few times was python but didn’t really look into it but it may help you. Hope you find an answer.

I’m wondering if there are python3 issues I don’t know about. . . . Yes, I’ll stick with the AppImage until AUR gets the bugs out if any still exist.

Yer I just noticed someone else having an issue with a program that I think may also be related to python
