VLC crashes on debian wheezy with proprietary GeForce 6100

[zoof]

Hi,

I installed VLC from deb-multimedia and get the following error:

VLC media player 2.0.5 Twoflower (revision 2.0.5-0-g1661b7d)
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-lookup.c: 397: do_lookup_x: Assertion `!(({ __typeof (({ struct pthread *__self; asm ("movq %%fs:%c1,%q0" : "=r" (__self) : "i" (__builtin_offsetof (struct pthread, header.self))); __self;})->header.rtld_must_xmm_save) __value; if (sizeof (__value) == 1) asm volatile ("movb %%fs:%P2,%b0" : "=q" (__value) : "0" (0), "i" (__builtin_offsetof (struct pthread, header.rtld_must_xmm_save))); else if (sizeof (__value) == 4) asm volatile ("movl %%fs:%P1,%0" : "=r" (__value) : "i" (__builtin_offsetof (struct pthread, header.rtld_must_xmm_save))); else { if (sizeof (__value) != abort (); asm volatile ("movq %%fs:%P1,%q0" : "=r" (__value) : "i" (__builtin_offsetof (struct pthread, header.rtld_must_xmm_save))); } __value; }) != 0)' failed!

Any ideas what the problem is?

deb-multimedia is not supported and known to break VLC. See highlighted topic.

I installed VLC from the deb-multimedia repo because 2.0.3 from the wheezy repo is also broken for me and the wiki says to make sure I have the most recent version installed. From the command line, 2.0.3 starts

$ vlc
VLC media player 2.0.3 Twoflower (revision 2.0.2-93-g77aa89e)
[0x1772108] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

but no display window appears. The only way to escape from this is ^Z and "kill -9 proc numbers".
