I am using Ubuntu 21.10. I installed Kdenlive using -

sudo snap install kdenlive

Now when I try to open any video from system, Kdenlive can't detect any of my videos in any of my folder. I guess it has something to do with apparmor. So what I have to do now?

Remove the snap package (sudo snap remove kdenlive) and use apt instead

sudo apt install kdenlive

In Ubuntu 21.10, apt hosts a slightly older version of Kdenlive (4:21.04.3-2). If you want the very latest version, you can use the official PPA, with the following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kdenlive

Alternatively, you can use the appimage.

The appimage and the apt packages should not have permission issues.

  • Yes, I know these alternative processes of installation, my question is if there is an way to configure the snap package to work properly. If there is a snap package then there must also be a way to use it, otherwise why bother releasing a snap package? – Payel Senapati Nov 11 '21 at 07:23

    @PayelSenapati Does it work after giving it permissions to access files? See https://ubuntu.com/blog/a-guide-to-snap-permissions-and-interfaces . Snap was designed to be used in IoT devices, but Canonical is force pushing it everywhere. Even former Canonical employees are frustrated about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/orz1lr/alan_pope_left_canonical_because_of_snaps/ – Archisman Panigrahi Nov 11 '21 at 07:27
  • uhhh.. the problems seems not be with the snap package but my lack of knowledge about kdenlive, I tried, File -> Open, whereas the correct syntax is Project -> Add. Sorry for not sorting it out previously, anyway thanks a lot for helping – Payel Senapati Nov 11 '21 at 07:45
  • I love snap package mainly because of it's OS independent nature, it come as a total package and doesn't depend upon OS. – Payel Senapati Nov 11 '21 at 07:46
  • @PayelSenapati Feel free to edit my answer to add the workaround for snap packages. – Archisman Panigrahi Nov 11 '21 at 08:06
