Vlc GUI disappeared!

Postby tryfan » 03 Dec 2009 19:37

When I was trying to browse dl'd skins on Vlc 1.02, it crashed.
Afterwards, I haven't been able to restart the GUI (video works), even after several reinstalls.
Even tried to remove every trace of vlc before reinstall, but nothing helps.
The only message I get when I run it in a console is "VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye"
Any ideas? I'm running Mandriva 2010.0 586.

Remove ~/.cache/vlc and ~/.config/vlc folders. If it do not help, start VLC adding "-vvv" parameter to get verbose output.
