pitivi video editor

[mikey]

Installed pitivi using Adept. Tried to start it from the menu, but didn't work. Tried starting from Konsole window and got the following output messages:

mikey@frb-liford:~$ pitivi
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166
Major opcode: 144
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166

Failed to open device
Segmentation fault
mikey@frb-liford:~$

Any help appreciated.

Re: pitivi video editor

The X errors may have nothing to do with your real problem. When you start a GUI program from the konsole, e.g. when you're trying to get an error message as you were doing, it is often prefaced with those X error lines that indicate that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file still contains the three stanzas relating to the wacom graphics tablet that seem to get attached to everybody's xorg.conf file, even if they don't have a tablet pc. Remove the three stanzas referring to the wacom and the lines referring to "stylus", "cursor", and 'eraser", in your Server Layout section. What's left after that is the actual error message, you're getting from pitivi. Of course, if you've already #commented out all the wacom stuff, then those errors do refer to pitivi, but I suspect that the only one that counts is the segfault. Can you get (1) a core dump, and (2) a "-dbg" package? Then you could use gdb to figure out where it's segfaulting.
