Mageia 4 - VLC Segmentation Fault

[linuxero]

Hi;

In a Mageia 4 64-bit installation, vlc cannot run. When I try it in konsole it gives the following:

Code: Select all

$ vlc
VLC media player 2.1.5 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-49-gdab6cb5)
Violación de segmento


Sorry I couldn't force the output to be in English..!

Looks good, and same works fine here. I'd say irst try to remove svlc, and then try to run vlc under a freshly created user.

Apart from that, what graphics card and driver do you use?

I tried uninstalling svlc as you said, created a different user and tried it but all the same..still giving segmentation fault.

[doktor5000]

Well, best run it inside gdb to get a stacktrace. Run

Code: Select all

gdb vlc

then inside gdb it will show you which debuginfo-packages it requires. You need to enable debug repositories, and use the debug-install command with the list of packages provided. Rinse and repeat until running vlc in gdb shows no more required debuginfo packages. Then typ

Code: Select all

run

in gdb, let it crash, then type

Code: Select all

bt full

to get the stacktrace. This is also explained here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Debugging_software_crashes

Maybe you could also try this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VL ... tion_fault
but I'm not sure how useful it is to recreate some library caches, and afterwards reinstalling the package ...

Or you can simply reinstall all vlc packages:

Code: Select all

urpmi --replacepkgs --replacefiles $(rpm -qa | grep vlc)

As for the icon theme; I am using OSX Window Decoration and United Desktop Theme in KDE.

Thanks again

As for the icon theme; I am using OSX Window Decoration and United Desktop Theme in KDE.

Please try again with some default icon theme, like oxygen. Same for the window decorations and desktop theme.

[linuxero]

I tried other themes..still the same..no luck!

[doktor5000]

Then take the output you got from gdb and report it upstream:
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/

[linuxero]

Alright, thanks for the tips..
