Kdenlive crashes on startup

As the title suggests, when trying to open Kdenlive it shows the splash screen and immediately crashes. When opening again it asks to delete the config file:

Kdenlive crashed on last startup. Do you want to reset the configuation files?
Reset Continue

When opening via the terminal it outputs the following when clicking "Reset":

Could not detect package type, probably default? App dir is "/usr/bin"
 = = = =
GOT Deleted file:  "/home/user/.config/kdenliverc"
QPaintDevice: Cannot destroy paint device that is being painted

When clicking "Continue" it outputs the following:

Could not detect package type, probably default? App dir is "/usr/bin"
kf.config.core: Watching absolute paths is not supported "/usr/share/color-schemes/BreezeDark.colors"

Here's the output of inxi -Fazi; https://notebin.de/?4e6f7874e1c82b4b#8f … wyyThzYEno

I have already tried deleting all config files manually and uninstalled and reinstalled it, but to no avail.

Re: Kdenlive crashes on startup

Hi, searching for error in the internet gives a lot of hints to gpu thingy.
The appimage still works though (as the gpu acceleration is disabled by default, as it causes problems). you can get it here

Re: Kdenlive crashes on startup

Not sure, but I don't think it's a GPU issue. Kdenlive is also not working on my Thinkpad using Intel UHD Graphics 620.

But the error message changed:

Could not detect package type, probably default? App dir is "/usr/bin"
kf.config.core: Watching absolute paths is not supported "/usr/share/color-schemes/BreezeDark.colors"
