Handbrake seg faults on new Ubuntu 21.04

Post by borgauf »

The latest Ubuntu 21.04 and Handbrake seem to be incompatible. An attempt to install a flatpak version gave an error seeming to expect Gnome 3.36. 21.04 is Gnome 3.38, I believe. Standard Ubuntu install of Handbrake gives, as title says, a segmentation fault.

The flathub variant may work but we don't plan to formally support Ubuntu 21 until 1.4 comes out in the hopefully not so distant future.

As s55 hints to, the HandBrake flatpak that is available on flathub uses Gnome 40. FYI, the version of Gnome on Ubuntu is irrelevant. Flatpaks use their own environment. If you install from flathub, the necessary dependencies should be installed for you.

If you are attempting to run the version of HandBrake provided in the official Ubuntu repository, we don't build that or have any control over how they build it. They purposely modify our build system in order to conform the their repository rules. I don't think it has ever worked right.

Well, here's another vote for "I hope it's sooner than later, I'd really appreciate it." since I'm using 21.04.

Have you tried the flatpak? My plan is to phase out Ubuntu deb releases of HandBrake. So don't hold your breath. An updated deb may not be coming.
