How to solve MLT's SDL module error for Kdenlive in Ubuntu

I installed Kdenlive 0.8.2.1, but when I ran it, I saw this error:
Fatal error: MLT's SDL module not found ...
I had that module installed, but somehow it wasn't working. After getting some help from guys in LinuxDistroCommunity, and doing a little research, I found that the version of that module is lower than the version which Kdenlive requires. I was able to solve it in this way:
Open up a Terminal and issue these commands:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sunab/kdenlive-release
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade 

Now open up Kdenlive. If you still have the problem, close it and issue this command in the Terminal:

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

That is the official Kdenlive PPA, so by running these commands, you'll make sure that the latest version of MLT's SDL module is installed.

Well that's pretty much it! Fire up your Kdenlive and enjoy!
