OpenShot will not upgrade

I just installed openshot video editor via terminal: this tutorial https://www.ubuntupit.com/install-openshot-video-editor-ubuntu-linux-mint/ on ubuntu 21.04 on a raspberry pi 4b. I tried to start it, but it showed this glitch warning and openshot did not start.

Here's something that N0rbert wanted me to do in terminal (I didn't get that at first) but here it is. At the bottom of this, there is an additional terminal entry NOrbert wanted me to add so I did it too.

I did these entries one after another plus a couple more in one terminal session. THese were suggested in a comment to this question by NOrbert so I did them here. I tried running apt-update and full-upgrade in terminal but it did not upgrade. How would I install the latest installer? How can I fix this?

Details needed. Please add output of `apt-cache policy openshot`; `snap list | grep -i openshot` ; `flatpak list | grep -i openshot` ; `which openshot` to the question.

What is your Ubuntu version? Essential information as this issue will be specific to your Ubuntu version. Also add to your question (use "Edit") how you installed the software (using Snap Store, or is it installed through a third party PPA or downloaded file?)

I will try to clarify both of these questions here. NOrbert first. I do not know what the first four things are (please explain), but I have openshot 0.2.5 installed; I need 0.2.6. vanadium's question. I am using ubuntu 21.04 on raspberry pi 4b. I installed it with this tutorial https://www.ubuntupit.com/install-openshot-video-editor-ubuntu-linux-mint/. in short, I did it via terminal,

Please [edit your question](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1370308/edit) and add your clarifications in the questions. As for @N0rbert 's request, open a terminal (the app called Terminal) and type the commands one at a time followed by the "Enter" key. Copy and paste the output of the command in your question. Repeat for all the commands. Note, each command is separated in the above comment by a ";".

Ok, then please add output of `apt-cache policy openshot-qt libopenshot*` to the question.

Ok NOrbert, I added that too. If there is anything else that you want me to add just let me know and I'll do it.

The "OpenShot: Stable PPA - Official Releases" PPA does not contain libopenshot libraries for armhf and/or arm64. They support only amd64 (for Intel/AMD computers, not Raspberry Pi).
I have wrote a request about building packages for Raspberry Pi.

Currently you have to remove OpenShot PPA with commands below:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:openshot.developers/ppa

and then you will have older but fully-functional OpenShot from official repository.

I tried to build from the same source for ARM, but it is failing to build. https://launchpad.net/~apandada1/+archive/ubuntu/expt/+build/22588181

It complains about missed FindOpenShotAudio.cmake , so libopenshot-audio-dev should be built before OpenShot, probably.

You can download an appimage from the openshot website here: https://www.openshot.org/en/download/

Since it's an appimage, no installation is required. As of this writing, the version offered is 2.6.1

From this page, you can download the single file OpenShot-v2.6.1-x86_64.Appimage. Once downloaded, it needs to be marked as executable, either by setting the properties in your file manager of choice, or by chmod +x OpenShot-v2.6.1-x86_64.Appimage in a terminal.

Then you run it by double-clicking it in the file manager, or typing ./OpenShot-v2.6.1-x86_64.Appimage in the terminal.

Final edit: according to the OP, the appimage did not work on his computer, although it did work on mine.

That didn't really work; when I ran the launch binary called AppRun, It said there is no app installed to run the "shared binary" files. Is there an app I can install for that?

@2-bituser For detailed help on installation problems, your best bet is probably to contact the developers of the application. They give an "ask a question" link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenShot/

@2-bituser I just downloaded it and it worked fine on my pc. All I had to do was mark it executable. Maybe there is an issue running it on a pi. Here's a screenshot https://imgur.com/zebcZfe I'm not sure what you mean by the "launch binary" either, I just got a single file downloaded called OpenShot-v2.6.1-x86_64.Appimage

That's mighty wierd. It looks sort of like a zip file on mine. When I double click on it, it opens like a zip yet it says .appimage in the title.

@2-bituser yes, either that or use the properties setting in the file manager to do it. I think it's `chmod +x (filename)` though. See updated answer.

I just gave it a go and nothing seems to have happened. Here's the terminal output pi@pi-raspberrypi:~/Downloads$ chmod +x OpenShot-v2.6.1-x86_64.AppImage pi@pi-raspberrypi:~/Downloads$

@2-bituser try it in a terminal and see if you get any error messages. When I ran it in a terminal it produced a bunch of "informational messages". I'm not sure what the last part of your comment means.
