I've been running AviDemux 2.8.0 happily for some time, installed via ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/avidemux. Running on KDE Neon 5.24, kernel 5.14.21-051421-generic.
Recently, I cloned my system to new hardware (so everything software-wise is identical: same OS, same kernel, same libs installed, etc. An exact photocopy). However, now avidemux crashes immediately on start.
If I launch via terminal, the crashing machine shows:
https://pastebin.com/vieXTsh6
Any idea why the exact same setup would be working on one PC but crashing on another - and how I could rectify? I know I could probably workaround this by using the appimage, but would prefer to get it working directly, if possible.
Please build from the current git master and apply the patch from https://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,19812.msg93476.html#msg93476
I've committed the patch, future builds should not crash on startup anymore.
A 2.8.1 nightly build containing the tentative fix is now available, please try build 220605 or a more recent one from https://avidemux.org/nightly/appImage4Buster/ and report back.
Thanks for your super quick response - yup, looks like that indeed works! Now just to wait for it to hit the PPA repo :) :)
Instead of passively waiting, please report the issue to the PPA maintainer and ask for inclusion of the upstream patch.
Thank you.
