OpenShot - Segmentation fault

[alket]

I just installed OpenShot from Ubuntu Software Center.
When I want to launch it, it displays nothing, then i try from terminal and I get this:

--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.1.3)
--------------------------------
Process no longer exists: 15049.  Creating new pid lock file.
A new frmMain has been created
Segmentation fault

2 month early I was at Ubuntu 10.04 beta and this problem occurred in : VLC, OpenArena, FileZilla etc. and I made a fresh install in April. So please help me, I configured Ubuntu and have lots of important files, A fresh install isn't an option for me.

I get the same segfault when I try to start Openshot.

I tried the install from the Lucid repos and from the Openshot PPA.

I'm using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 64-bit.

$ openshot
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.1.3)
--------------------------------
Process no longer exists: 15439.  Creating new pid lock file.

Me too. Here's a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/573792

I have solved my problem, which consisted in a version of cairo that I had acquired with a different ppa. Restored the regular cairo that comes with lucid --> openshot now starts again without segfault.

How did you downgrade cairo, or which package in particular did you reinstall?

How did you downgrade cairo, or which package in particular did you reinstall?

I had the cairo package from a ppa containing an svn version of the GIMP, and I've removed it using the very useful ppa-purge, which you can find in the xorg-edgers ppa (make sure you don't install all the ppa if you only want to grab ppa-purge). So I don't know what exact packages were downgraded, but from what I see, it should be several whose name starts with libcairo-.
