Openshot infinite loop bug - Ubuntu Linux resolution
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2020-02-16

The Openshot infinite loop bug (due to missing project files) is still cropping up in Linux (issue 3047, Github: https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues/3047).

The Linux workaround is to find the openshot_qt folder which is located within the user root directory.

Kill the Openshot process: sudo pkill openshot-qt

Change into the directory:  cd  ~/openshot_qt

And delete all files and folders: rm -rf *

Relaunch Openshot and you should be back in action.

Note: unless you purge residual files, simply reinstalling will not fix the issue.
