This is already solved. Just leaving it here for anyone else who has the problem while Whisper is being installed in a venv via Kdenlive.
You’ll get this error code if the virtualenv package isn’t installed:
Cannot find python virtualenv, please install it on your system. Defaulting to system python.
Kdenlive can auto install python modules to enhance the program. One of those is speech-to-text. To do so you need to have the package: python311-virtualenv
installed.
For future reference, use the correct version for your current system:
python{version}-virtualenv
Check your python version using this:
txtechnician@txtechnician-hp-suse:~> python3 --version
Python 3.11.10
txtechnician@txtechnician-hp-suse:~>
After you install this package you’ll be able to use kdenlive’s interface to install missing python dependencies.
