Thanks. I actually posted this before, I'm not sure what happened, but everything you
just told me to do was what I have already done!! I posted two replies on that! I just went
through my files and the screenshots I posted (were deleted somehow) are still on my hard drive.
Sorry I apologize for all this confusion!!
I'll try to reconstruct my old message later. I'm quite taken aback by this!
It's odd that a post should disappear this way.
Not just one post either. Two!
I also uploaded a file with the output from a Terminal crash of the version of Openshot loaded
from the updated PPM on a pristine boot of the OS (pfix=Ram) without any save file. It was
especially unique because the output was well over 400 lines and there was not enough room
to post a screenshot or to paste a copy of the output in the forum, so I uploaded it in a zip file.
I'll repost all of this later, it is a bit of work.
I'm just posting this reply now, in dismay that these earlier posts were somehow lost!
Thanks for your help Mr. Walsh, all the good effort you put forth!
Also, thanks for the feedback.

Hello, I've downloaded all the versions, also the
PPM version that comes with the system. I first updated the PPM.
Nothing that I installed works. Between each attempt, I uninstalled the
prior versions. Each attempt was done on a pristine boot of the OS, with
no save file (pfix=ram).
The PPM version seems to try to work, loads and boots, but immediately crashes.
This screen shot shows which versions I've tried and none of these boot.
The only version which I downloaded and failed to even try was the
"Applmage" which I do not know how to install.
The PPM version is in the database of the Distro, there were two
versions, one didn't even load - wasn't compatible. The other was
version 2.4.1-x86_64.

All my tests were done on a raw boot of Xenialpup64_7.5, so there was no
save file actually, and nothing was installed. Between tests I uninstalled the
prior attempts either using the PPM uninstaller or the SFS Load utility.
I don't know if that is exactly the same as having a new save file, but
it's probably pretty close!!
I'm going to try your link on another raw boot up. Thanks for the feedback.
I read and re-read the replies. I'm booting from a PRISTINE edition of
xenialpup64-7.5 without any save file or updates. I loaded every version
of openshot linked to in this discussion, in a terminal window.
On each attempt, the output from the terminal was exactly the same in
every instance, EXCEPT when running the PPM version.
The output was 477 lines when I ran the PPM version, so I'm putting it below
as a text file. Due its size, the file would take up too much room here.
I took screenshots of all the other attempts, but the results
were basically identical, so I'm only including one screenshot of one failure.
Here's the output from running openshot from terminal - all versions generated
this output:
Code: Select all

Error Message: cannot import name main

OpenShot has failed to import some of the Python files or libraries
required for our application to run. Here are some trouble shooting
tips:
Tip 1) Check if MLT can be successfully imported in Python. Run the
following commands, and see if any errors are displayed. If you get
an error, you need to investigate the correct way to install MLT.
NOTE: Do not type the $ or >> characters in the examples below.
$ python
>> import mlt
>> mlt.Factory().init()
Tip 2) If MLT is working from the first example, then the next tip is
to look at the above error messages very closely, and google for more
help. It's likely the problem is already reported, and maybe there is
a simple work-around. Also, you can search for bugs or report a new
bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot. Good luck!

The attached .zip file is the output from the terminal attempt to run the
PPM version, which generated just under 480 lines; which didn’t fit in
a screen shot, and was too long for posting here. You can download it
and unzip it if you want to read through it.
Sorry for any confusion!
