Bug#543220: vlc interface won't load with segmentation fault

Sun Aug 23 15:36:35 UTC 2009

Hello Reinhard,

Thanks for your reply on this, I looked everywhere on the Internet and
see errors like this
a lot. But not much solutions. I will post in online as soon as it works.

For now it still does not work. Says something else though: see attachment.

I am willing to put a lot of time in debugging this. Any reply is much
appreciated.

Cheerio Barry
