OpenShot Issues

[mpmckinnon]

Hi there I had OpenShot working a few days ago and did the last of the updates for Ubuntu 24.04. Now for some reason I can not get it to run I have tried the Snap version and the official version and still not loading. When I try to install via terminal I get this message

"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python3-openshot : Depends: python3 (< 3.12) but 3.12.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
                    Depends: libpython3.11 (>= 3.11.5) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."

When I try Snap in terminal I get this

"openshot-community

...and PulseAudio has been explicitly chosen, so using it.

AFAIK Ubuntu 24 ships with Python 3.11 or 3.12, which will predictably break any incompatible software.

You could use miniconda to run an earlier, compatible version of Python; this is what I do to make my pytorch ML tools work. Let me know if you have any questions setting this up.

I've found kdenlive to be a good video editor as well.
