Bug Description

When I select Kdenlive from the menu I get:
Plasma Desktop Workspace
Plasma Workspace
chdir: no such file or directory

When I use the command line to launch kdenlive it works after the following:
$ kdenlive
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
Could not detect package type, probably default? App dir is "/usr/bin"

Unable to reproduce on release candidate .iso images.

Sometimes the Plasma launcher will have a transient issue where it will not launch an app, but I have been unable to find a known bug on this because it's so infrequent, transient, and random. A workaround for this is using krunner (Alt-Space) and typing the desired application (kdenlive, in this case) and launching that way.

Closing this as invalid as it's really more of a support issue.

Just tried using krunner (Alt-Space) and it gave the following:

I noticed that it was tested on a Lunar iso image. This would be quite different to what I have from my installed system in that I have:

Plasma Version is 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks is 5.104.0
Qt Version is 5.15.8
Kernel Version is 6.2.0.--20

I also tested on 3 different installed systems and was unable to reproduce. Something is wrong on your installed system, perhaps you installed from flatpak or snap, but we cannot troubleshoot that here since is a bug tracker and not for support.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We understand the difficulties you are facing, but it is better to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. If you would prefer live chat support, you can find an IRC support channel for your flavor of Ubuntu here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org.
