Hi, I just installed arch linux and VLC i'm also running xorg with nvidia drivers and gnome 3. But whenever I try to launch VLC from the applications menu nothing happens and if I try to run it from terminal I get this out:
VLC media player 1.1.10 The Luggage (revision exported)
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_BUS_TYPE")
[0x1639120] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
vlc: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2: undefined symbol: XextFindDisplay
I have also done some research but havent been able to find any solution.
Any help with be truly appreciated... thanks in advance

Is dbus running?

Yes it is, It starts as a daemon but it makes no diference starting it latter on.

The same happened to me.
To solve the problem I invoked cvlc that popped up a skinned player and - after resetting the preferences - vlc began working again.
Definitely moving to GNU/Linux made me trust Computer Science once again.
Definitely moving to Arch made me enjoy and understand GNU/Linux once again.

I had the same problem. Installing libxpm sorted out the problem, so you might give that a shot?

libxpm solved it for me too. Why do we get this problem?

I was going crazy from this problem as well and eventually figured out that libxpm needed to be installed. It should really be added as a dependency to the VLC package.

I'm adding libxpm as depends in vlc-1.1.11-2
Please, try out and let me know.
