cannot load module libwxwidgets_plugin.so

[steel_j]

I'm using OpenSuse 10.3. VLC always worked perfectly but since 2 days ago nothing is right with it.

First I can't get the good old original interface (wx). All I get is a default skin from skins2.

Second I can't get the preferences menu to work. (I tried other skins from the videolan site and it is the same)

Third I cannot playback any files. As soon as I try "X" crashes and restarts.

Here is what I tried after many researches on the Web:

I tried to reset all setting on startup and force the wx interface:

vlc -v --reset-config --reset-plugins-cache -I wx

but it changed nothing.

I tried erasing the .vlc folder in my home directory. No change.

I noticed the:

cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/gui/libwxwidgets_plugin.so'

error. I saw many people had that in my research, but no one seems to have solved the problem.

I tried compiling vlc from source by myself with the --enable-unicode and ----disable-skins2 but I got many errors preventing it from finishing the ./configure.

I tried installing wxwidget, but it conflicted with files from wxgtk. I forced installed wxwidget. No change.

I removed wxwidget and reinstalled an earlier version of wxgtk. No change.

I tried 3 other versions of vlc. No change. (even tried the new 0.9.0 beta but it would not install due to too many dependencies)

From what I now understand the problem lies with the wxWidgets plugin having unresolved symbols, but I have no clue on how to fix it.

Some help would be appreciated. :unsure:


This is the output I get from : vlc -vvv

[funman]

which repository did you get vlc from ?

[steel_j]

Packman Suse repo's (I use Smart).

I installs fine with no warning at all.

I you read me carefully you will see that VLC worked perfectly until 2 days ago....and when I say perfectly I mean for many years and many distros.

The only thing that may have changed is the updates from Suse (updater) which I get almost every day and I also install ISOMASTER.

I tried removing it to see if it would change anything but it did not. (I had a clue from the vlc error ouptput:

(/usr/lib/libiso9660.so.5: symbol cdio_charset_to_utf8, version CDIO_7 not defined in file libcdio.so.7 with link time reference)

Since isomaster had to do with libcdio and iso9660 I figured maybe...

[steel_j]

Is there anybody that could please help me?

[xtophe]

you're missing the good libiso9660 or libcdio

[steel_j]

No sir I do not.

I have the following packages installed:

libcdio7 (0.78.2-4) and all the -devel, -utils, -cdda0 that follow

libiso9660-5 (078.2-4)

I had libcdio7 version 0.78-3 installed. I downgraded just to see. Makes no difference.

That is not what my problem is.

Any other suggestion?

[steel_j]

I seem to have solved the problem by installing vlc with an opensuse oneclick link.

Now everything is back to normal
