Bug 14233

I cannot reproduce it here:

http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/FAQ/#computers-specs

Does it happen with other Qt 4 applications? What are your system's specs? Can you try in a fresh UNIX user?

Name a few Qt4 app's!

The system is a Samsung NC110 netbook:
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N2600 @ 1.60GHz
  Speed:  1,600.00 MHz
  Cores:  4
  Memory Information
Total memory (RAM):  2.0 GiB
  Free memory:  159.1 MiB (+ 1.1 GiB Caches)
  Free swap:  3.9 GiB

Tried in a new user: Same result.

N.B. The error report only appears when starting VLC in a terminal session.
     It does not appear when starting VLC from its desktop icon.

OK.

Does it display such errors at all?

  Don't undestand question! Only when started in a terminal session does the error report appear.

The workaround is NOT to start in a terminal session!

My question is how can you tell what VLC's output is if it isn't started in a terminal?

The only reason I started it in a terminal session was because it would not work notmally, so I needed some diagnostic information.

As long as it will start and work, I don't start it in a terminal session.

The question is: Why does it put those errors/warnings out if it then performs normally?

I am now getting these errors after I removed the vlc package and all the packages that depend on it and then only installed it:

< QUOTE >
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ vlc

It seems to have disappeared after I installed vlc-plugin-lua.

So does that mean the above plugin is missing from the normal VLC install?

Don't know, but the error seems pretty harmless.

Hi, I suggest either to close this bug report as WONTFIX or investigate it further, in order to not let it stale.

In accordance with that, and given there's an easy workaround, I'm closing it as WONTFIX. Thanks for the reminder.
