[Solved] VLC segmentation fault

Today, I updated my system which results in VLC's segfaults.

verbose log from gdb:

Starting program: /usr/bin/vlc 
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

and dmesg:

How can I repair it? I removed ~/config/vlc . Still not working. Any ideas?

// Sorry for my english.

Re: [Solved] VLC segmentation fault

On a fresh install from yesterday with KDE I got generic segfaults with VLC.

 $ /usr/bin/vlc %U
VLC media player 2.0.4 Twoflower (revision 2.0.3-289-g6e6100a)
[0x1481108] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Segmentation fault 

I did the folowing:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25145

/usr/lib/vlc/vlc-cache-gen -f usr/lib/vlc/plugins

and now its working.

Not sure if it's relevant to you but thought i'd mention it.

unfortunately, still the same - segfault.

EDIT:

vlc -I skins2

works correctly, but I prefer default qt interface

Re: [Solved] VLC segmentation fault

I updated to latest vlc 2.0.4-3 and it's ok. It's little weird because the only reported change is an add of sftp support.

"/usr/lib/vlc/vlc-cache-gen -f usr/lib/vlc/plugins" and reinstall did the trick. Now it works with default interface.

Re: [Solved] VLC segmentation fault

Had the same problem after upgrading to kde 4.10 . Reinstalling vlc-2.0.5-2  fixed the problem.
