Unable to Run a Linux App

[person123456789]

I am unable to run Openshot. I enabled allow executing file as program. It even worked a couple days ago but now, I have to repeatedly click around 10 times in order for the app to do something. After clicking a lot, only a bunch of windows appear and then quickly disappear. I really need this app to work as the other video editor I tried would crash after dragging an audio clip onto the timeline. I use Pop!_OS 22.04 btw.

Try opening it from command line and check the error message. 

What other editor you've tried?

Just run Openshot from command line. It will spit a lot of thing in the cmd line so hopefully you can see any error message.

 

Open a terminal/konsole and type openshot-qt

From the official website

[xAcid9]

They released v3.0 last month. 

 

Try install the one from Pop! Shop or Flatpak, whichever the latest.
