Not sure if it's my end or with VLC.

If I try and run vlc it just segfaults.

Code: Select all: VLC media player 2.2.4 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.3-37-g888b7e89) Segmentation fault (core dumped)

However if I run strace with vlc it runs fine

Any Idea? or is it another bug with the NV drivers on the 10xx series cards I've found ?

Mageia 6/cauldron all updated.

Since when does that happen approximately, only since very recently?
Please also show what packages you have installed, maybe during an update libvlc wasn't updated to match vlc itself, I've seen that in the past ...

Code: Select all: rpm -qa|sort|grep vlc

by **pete910** » Jan 12th, '17, 02:52

I had checked that all matched.

Code: Select all: lib64vlc5-2.2.4-9.mga6.tainted lib64vlccore8-2.2.4-9.mga6.tainted npapi-vlc-2.2.0-1.mga6 phonon4qt5-vlc-0.9.0-3.mga6 phonon-vlc-0.9.0-3.mga6 vlc-2.2.4-9.mga6.tainted vlc-plugin-common-2.2.4-9.mga6.tainted vlc-plugin-lua-2.2.4-9.mga6.tainted vlc-plugin-pulse-2.2.4-9.mga6.tainted vlc-plugin-theora-2.2.4-9.mga6.tainted

Yes, since this release though not used it in a while so don't know if others are effected.

What I don't get is why it runs fine when run via strace.

Looks good so far ... hopefully some other cauldron users can comment whether it works for them. I can't tell as I haven't been using cauldron for quite some time.

Did you try moving away vlc configuration/cache from ~/.config or maybe trying under a freshly created user?

And regarding the strace, I have seen that on rare occassions too, see also

VLC works fine for me. I tested with a .flv and a .mp4 file. I have Intel video. 64bit cauldron, plasma desktop.

Same here, but running in VirtualBox 64 bits. Tried .flv .mp4 and .avi, none of them had any issues.
Updated to the latest versions.

Thanks for the strace explanation Dok , makes sense now

Tried the then new user + removing .config/vllc. Still no joy

It does work fine on my sons who is also on couldron/6 , He's on a AMD card (amdgpu + mesa)

It also works fine in my VM too.

Think it is another NV Bug tbh.

knew I should have stuck with the 290x this 1080 has been a pita

Cheers Jim/Isadora . I'll just have to do some digging I guess

Edit:
Had a google and seems others have discovered the issue with the 375.xx drivers and vlc, looks like I was right then.
Others also found that running via strace solved it too, Great minds and all that

Another issue with nvidia and media players:

I've no idea if it's related to your VLC issue.

Works here with intel graphics no any problems seen in Mageia 6.

MVP works fine here so unrelated at a guess

by **pete910** » Jan 16th, '17, 23:22

Well, tested the Nvidia driver rpm.

Tried with the vesa driver fist and VLC worked, un-installed + reinstalled Nvidia 375.26 rpm . VLC segfaults.
Removed 375.26 rpm.
Installed driver from Nvidia's site and VLC works.

Could be a package issue then

Bug report I guess

Greetings. I seem to be having the same problem as described in this post. VLC will not run at all. When I run it from a command line, I get a segmentation fault.

Code: Select all: [brian@localhost ~]$ vlc VLC media player 2.2.6 Umbrella (revision 2.2.6-0-g1aae78981c) Segmentation fault

If I run it from gdb, it runs OK.

cvlc also causes a segmentation fault.

I am running on Mageia 5 with all updates installed.

I know that VLC was working as late as April 5 because I bought a web cam back then and opened it OK in VLC.

Here is the version information for VLC.

The graphics card is Nvidia EVGA 02G-P4-3757-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5. The version of the installed drivers.

Code: Select all: [brian@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia nvidia-current-kernel-4.1.12-desktop-1.mga5-346.96-2.mga5.nonfree nvidia-current-kernel-3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5-346.82-1.mga5.nonfree nvidia-current-kernel-4.1.15-desktop-2.mga5-346.96-5.mga5.nonfree nvidia-current-kernel-4.1.13-desktop-2.mga5-346.96-3.mga5.nonfree nvidia-current-kernel-4.1.15-desktop-1.mga5-346.96-4.mga5.nonfree dkms-nvidia-current-375.26-1.mga5.nonfree x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-375.26-1.mga5.nonfree nvidia-current-kernel-4.1.8-desktop-1.mga5-346.96-1.mga5.nonfree nvidia-current-doc-html-375.26-1.mga5.nonfree nvidia-current-kernel-desktop-latest-352.79-10.mga5.nonfree

According to the Nvidia page the current driver is

Code: Select all: LINUX X64 (AMD64/EM64T) DISPLAY DRIVER Version: 375.66 Release Date: 2017.5.4 Operating System: Linux 64-bit Language: English (US) File Size: 71.62 MB

My question is how do I go about uninstalling and re-installing the graphics drivers without destroying my system. I don't usually mess around with drivers, so I am not familiar with that turf. Do I have to boot the system in a safe mode or use the motherboard video for a while?

Also, I always install software from the repositories. I presume that the Nvidia file on the web is a .rpm file. Do I just urpmi the file?

Thanks for any pointers or help. My workaround is to run it in gdb, but that is not a long term solution.
