![]() ![]() I found that sometimes when I mess around with VLC media player settings, then the VLC program will not work afterwards, but I can just delete the hidden ".config/vlc" folder, and re-run VLC which will recreate it, and it starts working again. If you can remember what you did just before Openshot crashed, that might help, and do not do that again. You can spend many hours trying to figure this out, and if you are wrong, make things worse, or search their forum and the Internet, or just purge the program and re-install it. ![]() So, if the commands above do not work, then I have no idea which ones would need to be renamed or deleted to solve the issues you now have. One of the problems is that there are various "profiles", some are for video profiles which are not configuration files. There are a lot of files and folders, mostly under "python" folders because apparently Openshot was written in the "Python" programming language. If you type in "locate openshot >openshot.txt" in your console terminal prompt, this will create a list of all openshot programs that have the name in a text file called "openshot.txt". Or maybe this generic, but very handy, command remove the Openshot XML configuration file. If you continue with a new user account, then as you know, all settings for most programs will have to be redone which is a big PIA.Īfter reviewing their forum, I found this. ![]() If you have all your videos backed up or in folders other than openshot folders, then you can purge the openshot program and just re-install it, and in minutes, you're back up and running with the same user account. But, if you have the hidden openshot folders, then you can delete them, and just restart openshot to fix the problem.Ĭreating a new Linux Mint user, and logging in with that new user account, and seeing if a program now works, let's us know that something in your normal user account with Openshot's configuration profile is messed up. As I stated before, "Openshot" apparently does not have a typical installation configuration profile on my system, so you cannot rename or delete its configuration profile in the usual, fairly easy, way that I described in my previous reply. ![]()
