1st of all I'm very noob in linux..I could run Openshot on ubuntu 20.04 but recently I did new clean install of 22.04 and now I can't run Openshot. I installed it through github repo,,as mention worked on 20 but not on 22.04 .

When I click openshot from launcher (show application) it does nothing.can it be it's not updated for 22.04?but I downloaded latest version of Openshot which is released after 22.04 is released.

  • OpenShot is available in the Ubuntu Universe repository. That is the tested version. – ChanganAuto May 12 '22 at 09:35

  • As usual, with the Ubuntu Software or in terminal: `sudo apt install openshot-qt` – ChanganAuto May 12 '22 at 09:39

    There is a review on the download page in Ubuntu Software that suggests the Ubuntu version doesn't work with `wayland` the default windowing system in 22.04. That may not be the case in X11 (not tried it). – graham May 12 '22 at 09:45
  • @ChanganAuto Ubuntu software has 2.5.1 installed it but doesn't work,,I installed 2.6.1 from the page still it didn't work..But why did it run on 20.04 then? – 001tonmoy May 12 '22 at 09:48

  • Are you using the repository version of openshot or some manually installed version from GitHub? – Archisman Panigrahi May 12 '22 at 10:08
  • at last,,after nothing working (tried from ubuntu software,from their website,github, even the .appimage ones..but nothing worked) I just found daily builds (tried daily build appimage didn't work) which is the PPA ones and at last it's working.. – 001tonmoy May 12 '22 at 10:17
