Re: VLC 1.0 crashes with every video

After a reinstallation of it ? Have it ever worked for you? If yes, what was the change you guess can cause problem?!

In last case you can do a gdb vlc debugging, and at the segfault you can see with backtrace which function cause the problem.

If you use cvlc, like recommnded in the output ?

Next you take a welcoming message or something, not just put the code without any polite feature.

Worked before 1.0 update.
Doesn't work with cvlc.
gdb:

Re: VLC 1.0 crashes with every video

/usr/lib/vlc/misc/libfreetype_plugin.so is owned by vlc 1.0.0-1
Downgrade "fixes" the issue..
