I found this bug report because I'm having what I think is the same problem. Open video file -> segfault. Note: this is using Ubuntu 18.10 as a guest in a VirtualBox VM.
I've uploaded the crash file. I didn't get a "newly created bug," but the file is at: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/ca70fc50-dd4b-11e8-9306-fa163e102db1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798162 Title: VLC failed after attempt to open a video file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1798162/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
