Can I suggest a weird test? Open Rythmbox Music Player directly (do NOT play anything with it). Minimize it if you want. Open a file (mp3 or avi or whatever) that you want to play with VLC.
In my case, then VLC works again. What about you? Don't ask me why! PS: if I try again, but without opening Rythmbox Music Player directly, VLC still closes right away... -- [intrepid] vlc crashes right after start with every video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
