Kdenlive Version 20.08.1 crashes and freezes my desktop

albano · 5 October 2020 00:57

Hello manjaro users:

I’m brand new to Manjaro and would like to make it work in my live. I’m a video content creator and chose Kdenlive 20.08.1 as my video editor. There are times when I’m editing a video and the entire desktop freezes and the only way to get out of it is by pressing the reset button on my tower. Yes, I have tried CTRL+ALT+DEL; CTRL+SHIFT+ESC with no avail. I want to make it clear that this happens only when editing videos with kdenlive tool. More specific information, the issue happens when I’m playing the entire video within the kdenlive timeline. I may have to contact kdenlive about it, but the issue here is that if kdenlive is the one causing it, why the desktop environment renders useless? It won’t respond to even CTRL+ALT+F1.

Hello,

Please also share:
inxi -Fayz
use ``` above and bellow the text for proper formatting.

Please read this:
[HowTo] reboot / turn off your frozen computer: REISUB/REISUO

An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host would be the minimum required information we need to help you further… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
The free looks good but that’s without kdenlive running, right?
Could you open a terminal window and type this:
```
watch --interval=3 'free --human'
```
and report on the numbers while the system is freezing / frozen?

The “free” output was collected while the issue was happening. Somehow I was able to get to the desktop again.

I would try to install the nonfree (proprietary) Nvidia driver. It’s very well described here:
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Configure_Graphics_Cards

albano · 9 October 2020 00:33

I have updated the graphics card driver per your suggestion:
Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 710] vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: nvidia v: 450.66

So far so good.
