[tommy@localhost ~]$ vlc

What is wrong?

A very long shot in the dark, try loading it with the C locale:

Code: Select all

LC_ALL=C vlc

does it still crash?

You mean the VLC interface was in English? that's expected, since you forced the use of the C locale.

Could you try in a new user account? just to rule out any misbehaving configuration files in your current account.

Hum it seems similar to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274169

Don't have help to offer you but I can say that I have been having issues with VLC lately feezing or crashing. It has done this one Mageia as well as a few other distros. On both KDE and Gnome 3, however on Fedora 14 with Gnome 2 it worked just fine.

Sorry to report but I use vlc in preference to many others and I have not run into any problems that you have described.
I even use the web browser plugin without problems.

The issue has been debugged in the bug report posted by mikala, and there's a patch in KDE upstream reviewboard, hopefully it'll be accepted, and can actually be backportable to Mageia 1.
