[SOLVED] Having some trouble with vlc

[canadaist]

Ryzen 5, AMD rx 460 2 gig, 8 Gig Ram, fresh install on new SSD.

I dont have any real problems, I continue to be impressed and grateful for Mageia.

But I can't get vlc to run, or in trying to get it to run, it segfaults, both with comment, or silently.
I cant urmpe vlc because it also removes 26 important other files.

So what is happening?

Also: kinfocenter just crashed as I tried to get accurate system report for this.

I cant urmpe vlc because it also removes 26 important other files.

What important other files? It would be helpful if you would have at least provided that list ...

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-media active --list-url
rpm -qa|sort|grep vlc

and also the full output when you run vlc from a terminal.

You're missing the tainted release repo.

You can simply remove vlc and then install everything again via

Code: Select all

urpme vlc
urpmi vlc task-plasma5 task-plasma5-minimal

I should have guessed that first and done due diligence. Hat tipped Doc
