Often crashing Debian/XFCE

So many crashes lately, forcing me to click save every time i’m happy with any clip modification.

Many times after a right clicks

Also I can force shotcut totally lock up with filter>text>color picker>highlight the hex code & ctrl-C. it will never repond again.

This has been reported before, and it only happens in Linux due to a bug in Qt 5.6.1. I have a test build against 5.9 that does not do this.

As for the other crashes, we need steps like you did for the color picker and the hint about right-clicking. However, at this point, there have been many fixes in the past few weeks with a new version 18.09 due in a couple of days.

I’m qt 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1. debian stable/backports stalled at this. i’ll see what i can do. happens on my xubuntu also, version unknow. but XFCE on BOTH machines. I’ve seen plenty apps crash for XFCE specific issues historically.

How do you get the Application Log if it crashes?

I’ll look forward to 18.09 as always

Location of logs is in the FAQ.
I do not understand your build. Are you using a build provided through the shotcut website? If not, then I am unable to help. If you are, then the system supplied qt is not used as long as you use the correct launcher script (instructions on the download page). If you run bin/shotcut from our build, you are doing it wrong.

I generally tar xvf the current release into my existing “Shotcut” folder. Sometimes I use the AppImage if i’m having inexplicable issues.

Today I deleted the Shotcut folder and tar xvf the new release so it will be fresh without any possible cruft.

I always use your direct downloads, i don’t compile myself. maybe the issue is i re-used the Shotcut folder without purging contents. my panel icon points to ~/Shotcut/Shotcut.app/shotcut

Have you tried the flatpak version? (it’s compiled against Qt 5.11 btw)

@shotcut

Okay, my first project since this question…

First crash when selecting “remove” from a right-click of a empty space between clips on V1.

FIRST & LAST lines from the log:
[Info ] Application::Application Starting Shotcut version 18.09.16
[Error ] [producer_xml] failed to load producer “/home/username/Downloads/Shotcut/Shotcut.app/blank”

do you want the entire log?

@pete , i did not try flatpak, i prefer tarball, but if there is a significant reason to try flatpak, i’ll learn
