[Solved] Kdenlive starting error cause missing Qimage or Pixbuf module

Hello,

I've been a Gentoo user for more than a decade but decided to go for Arch on my laptop (fed up with compilations times).
I've had my part of issues that I could solve myself (or workaround once I managed to correctly blacklist that "nouveau" driver and shutdown the horrible discrete nvidia card (I wish I would have found the same model without the Nvidia card)).

I installed kde with minimum installation (plasma-desktop), and I love that I can install KDE piece by piece with what I need.

When lauching Kdenlive, I got the error  : "Missing MLT module: qimage or pixbuf required for images and titles"

I surprisingly found no other people suffuring from this issue.

extra/gdk-pixbuf2 2.38.1-1 is installed.
I can't find any trace of Qimage anywhere.

A hint would be appreciated... not fun to install a new distro and run into those kind of issues sad

Regards,

Temet

Re: [Solved] Kdenlive starting error cause missing Qimage or Pixbuf module

The error comes from MLT, MLT has an optional dependency on qt5-svg which will likely fix this.

Does kdenlive flat out refuse to operate? If so you might potentially have a case to make qt5-svg a hard dep for kdenlive in a feature request.

The likely reason that no one else runs into is is that probably most people will install entire groups, or at least the entire qt5 group if they intend to make use of applications like these. Or read pacman output and fix relevant optional dependencies without making any further reports.

Hello V1del,

Thanks for the help.
Unfortunatelly, qt5-svg is already installed sad

What do you mean about pacman output? If I can find the solution myself, be sure I would prefer that smile

David

EDIT : Kdelive starts but I can't add "title clips", the "ok" button is inactive... and I suspect this is the cause.

Re: [Solved] Kdenlive starting error cause missing Qimage or Pixbuf module

Go through optional deps of https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/mlt/ (during installation of a package, pacman will list all optional dependencies of that package, if you want to know which ones there might be after the fact use pacman -Qi $package)

If pixbuf is explicitly needed as well then you'll likely need gtk2 (I'd find that weird though...).
