Asunto: F10 VS vlc
Hi!
I just noticed last night that vlc no longer displays its GUI. It still plays audio (haven't tried video yet), but I get no control panel from it anymore. I have to kill it (kill -9) to stop it, and there are no controls.
As recently as this past weekend it was working fine.
Did perhaps an update install a broken one? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Fred, Please do me a favor. Install keepassx and see if it starts. I have vlc and have the same problem. I'm wondering if my keepassx problem is the same problem that vlc is having ie. no GUI displays.
I found the sourceforge site where I need to file a bug report but I'm thinking this really isn't a keepassx (or vlc) bug at all but something else so I hesitate.
It may be a libX11 bug - a similar bug (no GUI) has been reported for emacs, and only started occuring in the past day or so following a libX11 update.
