[takti]

hey guys it seems like im not able to run vlc on my computer running arch linux.
i only get this problem running with qt thought. vlc with skins2 works no problem.
when i run it this is what i get:

[000055ad908bf5b0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

This looks like a Qt issue. check that your Qt package is up to date.
You might get more help on arch or qt forums.

You can post a bactrace to be sure. Run the program with gdb (gdb vlc), when it crashes enter "bt" to get the backtrace.
