Self-built VLC crashes when choosing theme on Linux Mint 21.3
Posted: 25 Feb 2024 00:12
I posted an issue on the gitlab tracker at https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/28535 , and I'm moving it here per the developer's request.
I'm trying to compile VLC on Linux Mint 21.3 since I need a fix that's in a newer version than the apt repository, and relies on personal files, so the snap wouldn't work well for it.
I pulled the latest commit from the gitlab page, I ran and installed the dependancies, I ran , I ran , and I ran . I was having issues with GTK, but after the developer's message, I uninstalled gtk2, and now the application boots.
However, I want to use the classic VLC theme. When I try and run the resulting executable, from tools > customize interface, and then choosing any option from the drop-down besides default profile, the log (from ./vlc -vvv) outputs the following:
looping sourceSize many times before vlc crashes with a segfault and no new information.
My guess is that I'm missing some qt5 or qml package, or that I installed one that conflicts with another; build-deps didn't get all of them, and while I installed enough to deal with the configure warnings, I imagine I must have still missed some. Please let me know if any more information is necessary.
