Hello, VLC always crash whenever you select "open file or "open folder" from its window menu. If you login in KDE instead all works flawlessly. Sorry but in this moment I cannot provide more details. I'm using 12.3 64bits and Gnome 3.8.4 Regards, -- Marco Calistri (amdturion) opensuse 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64 bit - Kernel 3.7.10-1.16-desktop Gnome 3.8.3 Intel® Core™ i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz × 4 - Intel® Sandybridge Mobile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

open vlc from a text window and you will possibly be able to see the reason. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, I've seen the reasons (there are few) but I've been not able to correct the issue. It seems there is something related to Gtk among other things. I followed many URL treating on same matter without success. Is your VLC running under Gnome??? Thanks.

Hi Marco! Could you please try the following and see if it works for you? sudo mv \ /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libfluidsynth_plugin.so \ /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libfluidsynth_plugin.so.back If you have a 32bit system, then use /usr/lib/vlc instead of /usr/lib64/vlc in the above. If vlc starts after this (in GNOME), it might be useful also to lock the vlc packages to the present installed versions using zypper al, e.g. sudo zypper al vlc-noX etc. Hope that helps. Bye.

if THIS is the cause, then an update to the latest VLC packages in Factory / 13.1 and VLC repository should solve it as well (this plugin has been disabled) Dominique -- Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Indeed, if that is the case, reverting to: fluidsynth-1.0.8-40.3.x86_64 libfluidsynth1-1.0.8-40.3.x86_64 solved my problems but I was getting segfault, not the problems described my Marco, and, he said, iirc, that he didn't have the problem under kde, but did under gnome. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Atri, Thanks for your reply, yes of course, as soon as I get my openSUSE machine I will try and let you know.

Hi Dominique, Fine, I will try the suggestion sent by Atri and I will update through this mailing list with the result. [OffTopic] I was giving a look to new GNOME 3.10 and GNOME Tweak Tool 3.10 http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/blog/2013/09/24/tweak-tool-310/ Looks interesting! Do you know more details about new power management features? Do we finally get feautures for our laptops under Gnome as a real working hibernation and acoustic alarm in case of low battery?
