vlc seg fault after last update

rclark · #1 5th January 2012, 05:26 AM

Just updated to latest and now get a seg fault.

[family@FedoraServer ~]$ vlc
VLC media player 1.1.13 The Luggage (revision exported)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[family@FedoraServer ~]$

Any ideas?

Hmmm same with Movie Player now and xine....

Dragon Player seems to run.

Don't know. I also got the update to vlc and mplayer, mencoder, etc... and don't seem to be having issues with them here.

When I try running vlc like you did above here is what I get:

Code:

[Me@tower20 ~]$ vlc
VLC media player 1.1.13 The Luggage (revision exported)
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_BUS_TYPE")

Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")

(process:6939): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

Blocked: call to setenv("CUR_WIDTH", "0", 1)
Blocked: call to setenv("CUR_WIDTH", "0", 1)
Blocked: call to setenv("CUR_WIDTH", "0", 1)

Don't know what all of those blocked calls mean, but possibly it could be what's causing your issues?

I go just about the same response as you. Seeing this topic I remember the update and that I hadn't tried it since, but it works perfectly.

VLC and xine segfault for me also after recent updates. Also 32-bit

Anyone else? Any solutions? Tried downgrading but didn't find the guilty party.

Try unlinking

Code:

su 
prelink -ua

That seems to have fixed it.

Thanks.

Mine just 'magically' came back recently ... a couple of days ago in fact! Go figure.... Everything is back working again ... until next time

. Not on the newest kernel yet though ... fingers crossed on reboot sometime this week.

Never heard of the prelink command until now ... Had to go look that one up! Thanks for tip for next time!

Thank you again Leigh.
You rock my friend.
