Any idea?

#2

Are you certain it is ONLY root ? Did you try with any OTHER user (besides Deathmachine and root) ?

Did you try to see if you can start with a ‘fresh’ configuration as a regular user ?

With kdenlive NOT running as ANY user …

Rename


/home/Deathmachine/.kde4/share/apps/kdenlive/

to


/home/Deathmachine/.kde4/share/apps/kdenlive-original

and also rename:


/home/Deathmachine/kdenlive/

to


/home/Deathmachine/kdenlive-original

Then start kdenlive.

#3

Yes I believe only root can and the folder .kde4/share/apps/kdenlive/ is not exist yet.

#4

‘believe’ ? Does that mean you tested ?

#5

Yes it only run as root, I test it two or three times on default configuration (kernel 2.6.37/KDE 4.6), kernel 3 and KDE 4.7.

#6

You should never run desktop programs as root. This, in some occasions, can make changes to the defaults. Can you please open a terminal window and do:


ls -l /usr/bin/kdenlive
#7

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3650296 Jun 13 01:15 /usr/bin/kdenlive

#8

Make sure your user is in ‘video’ group (in YaST).
