[SOLVED] VLC(1.1.9-1) failed to create video output

Hi, yesterday I upgraded vlc

[2011-04-15 14:37] upgraded vlc (1.1.8-2 -> 1.1.9-1)

and now im not getting video output. Message console gives me the following output

main error: video output creation failed
main error: failed to create video output
signals error: signal 17 overriden (0x7fec6e384280)
signals error:  /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4(?)[(nil)]

I thought vlc was not founding libQtCore.so.4 but i have it and gave me the following output

ekenbrand at academia ~ ->/usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4
This is the QtCore library version 4.7.3

I also tried reinstalling vlc and the qt package but didnt worked, haven't found any reference to this in the vlc bug tracker either.

Thanks for your help!

Try changing the video output module under Preferences > Video > Output. Set if back to default if its not set to that, otherwise try Xvideo or X11 then some of the others.

AFAICT the Signal 17 error is normal its the error above it that you are interested in.

You were right, setting it back to default solved the problem, thanks!
