So far, no way to reproduce here........

I have the same issue, vlc is not working I already tried to re generate the cache but the output for that command is "Segment Violation". I hope there is a way to repair this issue, I really like to use vlc almost every day. Thanks for all that you do demm, Kaos made me stop of being a distro hopping.

Since I can't reproduce this issue at all here (tried on 3 systems now, old installs, new, KDE 4 based, kf5 based, different gfx cards), help will still be needed from those effected by this.

Can you post the media that segfaults? Any plugins in use? Possible to get the latest live ISO, and install vlc in live mode, segfaults then too? No issue with smplayer, clementine, amarok, qmmp? Do you use packages outside the repo (from KCP for example) and did you rebuild any of those for new ffmpeg? Posting the output of "pacman -Qm" will help for that.

Another new vlc build is up, please report if it fixes any:

sudo pacman -U http://kaosx.us/repo/build/vlc-2.1.95-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

# pacman -Qm

create-resources 0.1.3-4

spun 0.4-3

viber 3.1.2.3-2

Clementine works, SMPlayer too even if it does spit an error at me:

Amarok and qmmp aren't installed.

Another new vlc build is up, please report if it fixes any:

sudo pacman -U http://kaosx.us/repo/build/vlc-2.1.95-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

No joy. Same error.

Can any of you run this script and post the full output?

You can ignore the warning for glib2 and when it checks in /opt.

Strange, "/edit" is added to the URL and the page isn't found...

Links should work now.

vlc is broken here too. I ran the shell script and I got following output:

I have KaOS installed on two laptops (different hardware) and strangely only one is exhibiting this problem. The one with this problem is using built-in Haswell Intel graphics chip, the other is an older laptop with AMD graphics card. I tried switching between sna/uxa/glamor, with no luck.

Scripts shows, no ldd issues, all normal.

Maybe this is a start, see if it is an intel only issue, systems here are nvidia and ATI, no problems at all.

One more build is up, this is a debug build.

sudo pacman -U http://kaosx.us/repo/build/vlc-1%3A2.1.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

If you still have segfaults, install vlc-debug too, and run:

gdb vlc

run

when it segfaults:

bt full

Also make sure to run in verbose mode "vlc -vv"

Nice

VLC new work for me with .mkv files :)

All is correct for you, running that script.

Did you try to install the latest build with pacman -U? 2 have reported so far, it fixes the segfaults for them.

One more build is up, this is a debug build.

sudo pacman -U

If you still have segfaults, install vlc-debug too, and run:

gdb vlc

run

when it segfaults:

bt full

Also make sure to run in verbose mode "vlc -vv"

New build seems to work (still testing several different filetypes), a few remarks though:

Please put a longer command line (especially one containing URLs) in code-tags to make things a little easier to copy-paste, and there's no package called vlc-debug (however, gdb and bt do work):# pacman -S vlc-debug

error: target not found: vlc-debug

New vlc is still in the repo, as linked above, will move soon to all users, that is why you have to use pacman -U for now (presuming you do not use the build repo). Code tags corrected for full path.

Unfortunately due to a failed HDD, I won't be able to test anytime soon. It appears that the new vlc build doesn't fail right off the bat, like it used to for me, so the issue might have been resolved.

The recent version in works on my machine. Thanks demm.

Please mark the topic as solved, so any others effected by it know updating will fix.
