[jenia]

Hello.

VLC is giving me a segmentation fault on Arch Linux.

Here is the backtrace:

The exact same thing happens when no file is given as input.

However, on the one hand I can find those libraries in the correct folder with no problems:

Code: Select all

[jenia@localhost Desktop]$ ls -l /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libdv1394_plugin.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14608 Nov 10 15:37 /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libdv1394_plugin.so [jenia@localhost Desktop]$ [jenia@localhost Desktop]$ [jenia@localhost Desktop]$ ls -l /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libvcdx_plugin.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47696 Nov 10 15:37 /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libvcdx_plugin.so

On the other hand, the .dat file is absent.

Code: Select all

[jenia@localhost Desktop]$ ls -l /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/plugins.dat ls: cannot access /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/plugins.dat: No such file or directory

So I really don't understand waht is happening.
Did anyone else encouter or can help with this problem?

Thanks

Where exactly are the reportedly missing libraryes, libavc1394.so.0 and libvcdinfo.so.0 ?

This is probably not related to the crash. Crash at startup are usually caused either by corrupt installations, or bugs in underlying system libraries.

The arch package here with today's state of repository starts without any problems.

I've always had problems when doing a fresh install of arch, and the solution has been to reinstall vlc w/ "sudo pacman -S vlc". Maybe this will help.
