[Bug 1377592] Re: [UIFe] Replace Pitivi with OpenShot

[Timo Jyrinki]

While I don't see indications that upstream wouldn't be maintaining and
developing pitivi, which seems like a wrong claim, Ubuntu 14.10 does
have currently the bug #1377804 that prevents pitivi from starting.

On the 14.04 LTS the pitivi bug #1307746 that affects some of the users
seems resolvable. Hopefully the 14.10 problem could also be fixed, but
it is different and maybe related to the latest Python or GStreamer
changes in 14.10. Meanwhile openshot on 14.10 at least starts up,
although requires libav/ffmpeg.

Title:
  [UIFe] Replace Pitivi with OpenShot

Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Pitivi does not seem to work in 14.10. The attachment shows the output
  from my attempt to start it from a terminal window, and judging from
  the latest comment at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/727851 there is zero
  interest upstream to keep maintaining Pitivi.

  In the linked MP I propose that OpenShot is highlighted in the Ubuntu
  slideshow instead of Pitivi. The MP does not include a change of the
  Ubuntu GNOME slideshow, since I suppose it should be decided by the
  dedicated team.

  As regards the freeze exception, the change would not affect the
  Ubuntu Desktop Guide, and I will alert the translators about the new
  string if it gets approved.

  The proposal may have policy implications, so I have also started a
  thread at the ubuntu-desktop mailing list:
